EGYPTIAN  mappage  or  the  Grecian  urn 
Did  once  perpetuate  a  father's  clay; 
Preserving  through  slow  centuries  and  gray 
The  human  remnant  for  the  hope  eterne. 
And  what  the  fires  of  funerals  could  not  burn, 
Nor  Time's  insidious  tooth  gnaw  quite  away, 
Became  a  shrine  of  virtues,  where  might  pray 
The  latest  sons,  and  of  their  fathers  learn. 

But  we,  grown  wiser,  plant  a  family  tree. 

And  'neath  its  broadening  branches  sit  us  down, 

Content  to  trace  a  noble  pedigree 

Unapt  to  urn  a  rich  and  high  renown; 

Content  to  dream  of  knights  armed  cap-a-pie. 
Yet  hoping  from  the  sky  to  see  a  crown.

AUTHOR'S   PREFACE. 


I  VENTURE  the  assertion  that  thus  far  no  antidote  has  been  discovered  for  the 
cure  of  the  so-called  "genealogical  fever."  My  friends  tell  me  I  have  it  in  an 
aggravated  form  and  it  would  seem  so.  Last  year  I  published  the  Whitney 
Genealogy,  a  volume  of  700  pages,  and  now  present  "The  Fiske  Family."  I  have 
been  greatly  assisted  in  my  work  by  Bond's  VVatertown  and  the  volume  compiled 
by  Rev.  Albert  A.  Fiske  of  Austin,  111.,  on  the  Amherst,  N.  H.,  Fiskes.  The  family 
is  noted  for  its  strong  religious  proclivities  inherited  from  its  English  ancestors, 
who  on  account  of  their  Puritanic  belief,  were  obliged  to  tiee  from  tlieir  native  land 
or  be  beheaded  or  burnt  at  the  stake  at  the  pleasure  of  their  fanatical  associates. 
One  of  the  emigrant  ancestors — a  graduate  of  Immanuel  College  and  an  eminent 
divine — was  secreted  in  a  wood-pile  for  nearly  a  year  and  finally  escaped  to  America 
in  disguise,  here  to  become  one  of  the  ablest  preachers;  and  as  Cotton  Mather 
said,  "Did  he  shine  in  the  golden  candlestick  of  Chelmsford,  a  plain,  but  an  able, 
powerful  and  useful  preacher  of  the  Gospel."  But  few  of  the  early  New  England 
families  can  boast  of  as  many  descendants  who  were  in  the  various  professions  as 
the  Fiske  family. 

Until  this  publication  the  many  emigrant  ancestors  of  the  Fiskes  have  not  been 
connected  in  any  one  publication.  The  matter  has  been  arranged  in  the  same  manner 
as  my  previous  publication.s,  like  the  Register  issued  by  the  New  England  Historic- 


Genealogical    Society.      It   is   the   simplest,    most   comprehensive  and  the  best  of 
plan  yet  devised.    "T.  p-    ,i^j      ."i-v-J'fTT" 
A  number  of  abbreviations  win  be  founa  in  the  book  of  which  %e  following 


are  explanations:  ae.,  aged;  abt.,  about;  dau.,  daughter;  dec'd,  deceased;  res., 
resides  or  resided,  residence;  w.,  wife;  wid.,  widow  and  widower;  yr.,  year;  n.  f.  k., 
nothing  further  known;  s.  p.,  sine  prole  (without  issue).  There  are  a  number  of 
other  abbreviations  of  such  common  use  that  their  meaning  will  be  readily  under- 
stood. A  name  in  parenthesis  thus:  Anna  Fisk,  dau.  of  Robert  and  Sybil 
(Gould)  Fiske,  indicates  the  maiden  name  of  the  mother.  An  interrogation  point 
implies  doubt  or  want  of  absolute  certainty.  Birthplaces  of  the  children  are  not 
always  given,  but  can  be  ascertained  by  reference  to  the  residence  of  the  parents 
which  is  always  given.  I  wish  to  return  thanks  to  all  those  who  so  generously 
furnished  the  requested  information.  If  all  had  responded  a  number  of  the  lines 
would  be  more  complete.  Thanks  are  especially  due,  Mrs.  Silas  A.  Pierce,  Grafton, 
Mass.;  Miss  Lou  M.  Pierce,  Worcester,  Mass.;  F.  L.  Ora  of  Chicago,  111.;  Prof. 
John  Fiske,  Cambridge,  Mass.;  Col.  Francis  S.  Fiske  of  Boston;  Hon.  Joseph 
Fiske  of  Wellesley  Farms,  Mass.;  Rev.  A.  A.  Fiske  and  others  who  rendered 
valuable  aid  and  assistance. 

It  is  the  sincere  wish  of  the  writer  that  the  descendants  of  the  Fiskes  will 
take  as  much  pleasure  in  perusing  these  pages  as  I  did  in  compiling  them. 

Very  truly,

FISKE  GENEALOGY. 


THE  FIRST  FISK. 

The  family  of  Fiske  flourished  for  a  very  long  period  in  England,  in  the  County 
of  Suffolk.  So  early  as  the  eighth  year  of  the  reign  of  King  John,  A.  D.  1208,  we 
find  the  name  of  Daniel  Fisc  of  Laxfield  appended  to  a  document  issued  by  the 
King,  confirming  a  grant  of  land  in  Digneveton  Park,  made  by  the  Duke  of 
Loraine  to  the  men  of  Laxfield.  The  original  is  in  the  Public  Record  office  in  Lon- 
don and  is  dated  May  i,  1208.    The  following  is  a  copy:

ORIGIN  OF  THE  NAME  FISKE. 

The  name  Fisk  is  simply  an  older  form  of  Fish.  In  Anglo-Saxon  times  the 
termination  sh  was  regularly  sounded  hard,  like  sk.  The  breakfasting  Engliscman 
of  those  days  ate  his  fisc  from  a  disc.  The  name  is  one  of  a  large  class  of  appella- 
tives taken  from  the  animal  world,  such  as  Herring,  Salmon,  Pike,  Crabb,  Tench, 
Spratt,  Peacock,  Swan,  Drake,  Crane,  Hawke,  Bird,  Lyon,  Hart,  Fox,  Bull,  Lamb, 
Kidd,  Cheever  (goat),  Todd  (fox),  Pmxell  (piggy).  Hare,  Colt,  Palfrey,  etc. 

The  origin  of  this  class  of  surnames  is  not  perfectly  clear.  The  largest  and 
most  familiar  groups  of  surnames  are  either  (i)  patronymics,  such  as  Johnson, 
Jones,  Wilson,  etc. ;  or  (2)  names  of  villages  and  estates,  such  as  Washington, 
Frothingham  (a  corruption  of  Fotheringham),  Greenough  (green  field),  Holmes 
(meadow),  Stanley  (stony  pasture),  etc.;  or  (3)  names  descriptive  of  occupation 
or  social  position,  such  as  Mason,  Carpenter,  Franklin  (country  squire).  Baker 
and  its  feminine  Baxter,  Thatcher  and  Thaxter,  Weaver  and  Webster,  Draper, 
Smith,  Fletcher  (arrow-maker).  Chapman  (merchant).  Cooper,  Butler,  Cartwright, 
Sargent.  Waterman,  Sawyer,  Chandler,  Bishoo.  Abbot,  Clark,  Constable,  Spencer 
(steward)  Grosvenor  (chief  huntsman).  Woodward  (forest-keeper),  Youmans 
(yeoman),   etc. 

The  earliest  use  of  family  names  in  England  was  about  the  beginning  of  the 
eleventh  century.  Long  before  that  time,  indeed,  clan  names  were  common,  and 
such  were  always  patronymics,  e.  g.,  Fotherings,  the  descendants  of  Fother;  Beor- 
mings,  the  descendants  of  Beorm;  Icklings,  the  descendants  of  Ickel.  At  the  time 
of  the  Anglo-Saxon  conquest  of  Britain  (fifth  and  sixth  centuries)  it  was  customary 


FISKE  GENEALOGY. 


for  a  clan  to  settle  in  a  stockaded  village  by  itself,  and  all  English  towns  whose 
names  end  in  ham  or  ton,  preceded  by  ing,  were  originally  the  abodes  of  single 
clans;  e.  g.,  Birmingham,  home  of  the  children  of  Beorm;  Icklington,  town  of 
the  children  of  Ickel.  Besides  these  general  clan  names  no  others  were  in  use 
except  individual  names,   such  as  Alfred  or   Edith. 

The  use  of  family  names,  beginning  in  the  eleventh  century,  increased  slowly. 
It  was  not  until  the  fifteenth  century  that  such  names  became  nearly  universal,  and 
also  stationary.  At  first  they  were  shifting  in  usage.  Thus,  the  same  man  might 
be  called  Henry  Wilson,  because  his  father  was  named  William,  or  Henry  Froth- 
ingham,  because  he  lived  at  the  village  of  Fotheringham,  or  Henry  Draper,  because 
of  his  occupation.  If  the  son  of  this  Henry  were  named  Robert,  and  were  any 
kind  of  a  worker  in  metals,  from  an  armourer  to  a  blacksmith,  he  might  be  known 
as  Robert  Harrison  or  Robert  Smith.  Surnames  had  not  ceased  to  fluctuate  in  this 
way  until  the  fifteenth  century,  and  it  was  not  until  late  in  the  sixteenth  that  more 
importance  began  to  be  attached  to  the  family  surname  than  to  the  individual 
baptismal  name.  It  appears,  therefore,  that  in  tracing  back  the  Fiske  genealogy 
into  the  fourteenth  century,  we  are  approaching  the  time  at  which  difficulty  must 
arise  from  fluctuations  of  surname.  Thus  the  paternal  grandfather  of  David  Fiske 
might  have  been  called  David  Johnson,  if  John  were  his  father's  name,  or  David 
Franklin,  if  he  were  a  country  squire.  In  the  thirteenth  century  we  should  be 
quite  likely  to  encounter  such  confusion  and  to  find  the  helpfulness  of  surnames  in 
tracing  genealogies  vastly  diminished. 

Surnames  derived  from  estates  or  localities  seem  to  have  been  the  first  to 
become  stationary,  and  next  after  them  the  surnames  derived  from  trade  or  office, 
since  sons  have  so  commonly  followed  their  fathers  in  business.  The  class  of 
names  to  which  Fiske  belongs  is  certainly  quite  difl'erent  in  origin  from  the  three 
great  classes  above  mentioned.  What,  then,  was  its  origin?  Why  should  a  man 
be  called  Wolf,  or  Heron,  or  Pike? 

We  are  at  first  struck  with  the  fact  that  barbarians  commonly  use  such  names, 
both  for  individuals  and  for  clans.  Such  individual  names  as  Grey  Wolf  or  Yel- 
low Raccoon  often  owe  their  origin  to  some  personal  peculiarity  or  to  some 
irrecoverable  incident.  Among  American  Indians,  and  in  general  among  bar- 
barians all  over  the  world,  the  clans  are  apt  to  have  such  names  as  Wolf, 
Eagle,  Salmon,  Turtle,  etc.;  the  totem,  or  symbol  of  the  Wolf  clan,  the  idol  or 
image  of  its  tutelar  deity,  is  likely  to  be  a  rude  image  of  a  wolf  or  wolf's  head; 
and  in  many  cases  the  clan  is  supposed  to  have  had  a  wolf  for  its  first  ancestor. 

Shall  we  say,  then,  that  animal  surnames  in  modern  English  are  survivals  of 
ancient  heathen  clan-names?  Are  Fiskes  descended  from  a  Fish  clan  among 
the  East  Angles?  To  this  view  there  seems  to  be  a  serious  objection.  The 
conversion  of  our  English  forefathers  from  heathenism  to  Christianity  was  com- 
pleted in  the  seventh  century,  at  least  four  hundred  years  before  the  earliest  use 
of  surnames  in  England.  The  old  clan  system,  moreover,  had  crumbled  to 
pieces  long  before  the  Norman  Conquest.  It  is  not  likely,  therefore,  that  habits 
of  naming  characteristic  of  the  old  heathen  clans  could  have  persisted  long  enough 
to  give  rise  to  a  whole  class  of  surnames  so  late  as  the  eleventh  and  twelfth 
centuries. 

Between  the  ancient  systems  of  totem  devices  and  the  heraldry  of  the  Middle 
Ages  there  were  many  analogies  and  doubtless  some  points  of  connection;  though, 
on  the  whole,  the  former  must  be  regarded  as  the  predecessor  of  the  latter, 
not  as  its  ancestor.  The  mediaeval  heraldry  was  growing  up  in  England  during 
the  eleventh  and  twelfth  centuries,  and  it  made  an  extensive  use  of  conven- 
tionalized heads  of  familiar  animals,  not  merely  lions,  wolves,  and  bulls,  but 
many  kinds  of  bird  and  fish,  as  well  as  such  imaginary  creatures  as  dragons, 
griffins,  and  cockatrices.  For  example,  Lucy  is  the  heraldic  name  for  pike, 
and  the  shield  of  the  De  Lucy  family  bears  on  a  field  gules  three  lucies  or.  From 
this  emblem  the  family  surname  is  likely  to  have  arisen,  just  as  Geofifrey 
Plantagenet  was  so  called  from  the  sprig  of  broom  or  genesta  plant  worn  in 
his  helmet.  The  familiar  name  of  Pike,  as  well  as  that  of  the  Puritan  magistrate, 
Sir  Thomas  Lucy,  who  arrested  Shakespeare  for  poaching,  has  probably  come 
from    the   heraldic    use    of   pikes    or   lucies. 

The  explanation  which  serves  for  one  of  this  class  of  animal  surnames  might 
perhaps  serve  for  all:  but  there  is  another  point  to  be  considered.  Heraldic 
devices    were    used    not    only    upon    banners    and    coats-of-arms,    but    also    upon 


FISKE  GENEALOGY. 


signboards,  not  merely  of  inns  but  oi  other  places  of  business.  In  days  when 
reading  and  writing  were  not  common  accomplishments,  such  devices  were 
in  general  use,  and  they  survived  down  to  a  recent  time.  For  tavern  signs 
they  are  not  yet  extinct.  In  old  times,  as  often  at  the  present  day  in  Europe, 
the  shop  and  the  homestead  were  usually  contained  in  the  same  building. 
Thus  in  the  seventeenth  century  the  father  of  John  Milton,  who  w-as  a  solicitor, 
notary  public,  and  law-stationer,  had  his  office  and  his  home  ,in  a  certain  house 
known  as  the  Spread  Eagle,  in  Bread  Street, 'Cheapside.  Over  the  front  door  was 
the  figure  of  an  eagle  with  outstretched  wings.  For  four  or  five  centuries  before 
Milton's  time,  in  going  through  any  town,  you  would  have  passed  by  a  succession 
of  such  signs  of  hawks,  cranes,  dolphins,  salmon,  lambs,  and  bulls,  thus  finding 
your  way  to  the  particular  shop  and  homestead  of  which  you  were  in  quest. 
The  principle  upon  which  the  signs  were  chosen  is  not  always  obvious.  Some- 
times a  family  name  may  have  suggested  the  sign,  as  if  a  man  named  Crow 
were  to  paint  a  black  crow  over  his  door;  but  in  early  times  the  sign  un- 
doubtedly preceded  and  suggested  the  name.  The  family  which  dwelt  at  the  sign 
of  the  crow  came  to  be  called  Crow,  in  the  same  way  that  a  family  which 
dwelt  at  a  country  house  called  Greenough  or  Greenhalge  (green  field)  canie 
to  be  called  by  the  name  of  the  house. 

There  is  nothing  in  the  Fiske  coat-of-arnis,  as  used  in  the  last  three  or  four 
centuries,  to  suggest  fishes  or  any  occupation  associated  therewith.  But  if  the 
name  goes  back  into  the  twelfth  century,  as  quite  possibly  it  may,  there  is  a 
chance  that  it  may  have  been  connected  with  some  heraldic  fish  emblem  since 
disused.  It  is  quite  as  likely  to  have  its  origin  in  a  sign.  As  I  said  above,  it 
is  difficult  to  determine  with  confidence  the  precise  origin  of  names  of  this  class. 

The  reader  may  be  interested  in  the  coincidence  that  Laxfield,  the  name  of 
the  parish  where  our  Fiske  forefathers  dwelt  for  at  least  three  centuries,  means 
"salmon  field."  I  think  the  name  has  been  applied  to  the  place  for  more 
than  a  thousand  years,  but  I  have  no  theory  as  to  its  origin.  The  name  Stad- 
haugh  (sometimes  incorrectly  written  Stradhaugh)  is  compounded  of  stead  and  haugh. 
The  former  means  station  or  home,  so  that  the  word  "homestead"  is  a  case 
of  tautology.  A  haugh  was  a  cleared  field  in  the  days  when  much  of  England 
was  covered  with  virgin  forest.  Stadhaugh  is  thus  equivalent  to  "home  in  a 
cleared  field." 

What  Prof.  Rasmiis  B.  Anderson  says: 

Prof.    Rasmus  B.   Anderson  of  Madison,   Wis.,   ex-minister  to    Denmark,   in 

writing  sends  the  following: 

Madison,   Sept.   19,   1896. 

Col.  Fred  Pierce,  Chicago,  111. 

My  Dear  Sir:— I  have  your  favor  of  the  13th  inst.,  in  regard  to  the  name  of 
"Fisk."  Fisk  means  in  Norwegian  "fish"  and  of  course  the  name  may  be  of 
Scandinavian  origin.  I  am  pretty  familiar  with  Scandinavian  nomenclature,  but  I 
cannot  recall  any  Dane,  Swede  or  Norwegian  by  that  name." 

Dr.  Henry  Mortimer  Fiske,  a  native  of  Sturbridge,  residing  in  San  Francisco, 
writing  in  September,  1895,  says:  "The  name  for  long  centuries  back  was  Fiske. 
It  is  a  Scandinavian  name  and  is  as  common  in  Denmark  and  Sweden  as  Smith  is 
here.  The  meaning  of  the  name  is  'fish'  and  all  Scandinavians  call  a  fish,  fiske.  The 
Danes  have  in  Greenland  a  harbor  called  Fiskenares,  and  also  one  in  the  island  of 
St.  Thomas,  one  of  the  West  Indies,  of  the  same  name  Fiskenares,  meaning  in 
English  fish  harbor.  I  have  also  an  old  book  published  in  London  in  1760,  called 
the  young  man's  book  of  knowledge,  which  is  dedicated  to  the  Rev.  James  Fiske, 
a  rectdS^  of  the  church  of  England.  In  an  old  book,  a  history  of  one  of  the  counties 
of  England,  speaking  of  one  of  the  civil  wars  there  the  name  of  lord  or  viscount 
Fiske  is  there  mentioned  as  one  of  the  civil  magistrates.  The  book  is  one  of  the 
first  printed  and  is  nearly  300  years  old.  In  both  Sweden  and  Denmark  the  name 
is  always  spelt  Fiske.  I  have  satisfied  myself  the  name  was  introduced  into 
England  at  the  time  of  the  Danish  invasion.  I  am  further  satisfied  that  the  'e'  was 
left  ol¥  in  England  more  for  the  convenience  of  spelling  on  the  part  of  our  fore-

fathers  than  any  other  cause,  as  those  old  fellows,  even  the  most  learned,  had  a 
habit  of  phonetic  spelling  in  many  instances  a  desire  to  cut  things  short." 

The  late  Miss  Fidelia  Fisk  of  Ooroomeyah,  Persia,  a  veteran  missionary,  in- 
formed the  writer  of  this  sketch  that  "there  seemed  to  be  some  connection  between 
the  name  and  the  word  'fiscal.'  Somewhere  she  had  been  told  that,  before  the 
appearance  of  the  family  name,  'the  fisk'  was  one  of  the  appointed  public  officers. 
Much  of  the  revenue  of  those  days  was  collected  in  dried  fish,  and  Fisk,  or  Fiske, 
is  the  plural  of  fish  in  the  Danish  language.  Quintals  of  fish  were  at  that  time  used 
as  currency  even. 

"A  ministerial  crank,  whom  I  came  upon  once  in  traveling,  claimed  that  'there 
were  few  of  the  family  names  in  N.  E.  that  could  not  be  traced  back  to  the  Greek! ' 
Whereupon  I  replied,  'Let  me  hear  you  take  my  name  over  that  course.'  Without 
hesitation  he  replied,  'Your  name  came  by  way  of  Denmark,  did  it  not?  It  is 
probably  all  one  with  Fish.  Now,  in  the  Greek,  fish  is  ichtheus.  Prefix  the 
digamma  and  you  have  Fichtheus.  Drop  the  termination,  and  you  have  Fich,  or 
Fisch,  or  Fische,  which  would  very  soon  be  worn  down  to  Fish,  or  Fiske-Fisk.'  " 

In  reading  a  valuable  article  from  Rev.  Wm.  H.  Grififis,  on  the  "Influence  of 
the  Netherlands  upon  the  N.  E.  Emigrants,"  I  found  a  statement  to  the  efifect  that 
"many  of  the  emigrants  from  Suffolk  County,  England,  to  Holland,  in  returning  to 
England,  or  coming  over  to  America,  were  found  to  have  shortened  their  names 
to  a  monosyllable.     Fisher  thus  became  Fish." 

This  led  to  a  brief  correspondence,  in  the  beginning  of  which  that  stalwart 
defender  of  the  rights  and  honors  of  the  Dutch  expressed  his  confidence,  that  "the 
name  of  Fiske-Fisk  was  among  those  mentioned  in  the  early  literature  of  the 
Netherlands."  Search,  however,  only  discovered  a  "Fisker"  in  Holland,  who  came 
from  and  returned  to  England,  but  neither  in  England  nor  America  was  the  name 
of  Fisker  found  thereafter,  but  the  name  of  Fiske-Fisk  is  there  among  the  emi- 
grants before  1640. 

It  only  adds  to  the  plausibility  of  this  theory  to  remember  that  almost  every- 
one of  the  emigrant  Fiske-Fisk  name  had  a  trade  which  must  have  been  originally 
learned  in  Holland — weaver,  tanner,  spinner,  dyer,  etc. 

Webster's  Dictionary  has  this  to  say  of  the  name:  Fisk  (fisk)  verb  irrelevant 
(ch.  Swedish  fjeska,  to  bustle  about),  to  run  about;  to  frisk;  to  whisk.  "He  fisks 
abroad   and   stirreth   up   erroneous   opinions." — Latimer.

LORD  OF  THE  MANOR  OF  STADHAUGH. 

Symond  Fiske,  Lord  of  the  Manor  of  Stadhaugh,  held  lands  in  Laxfield 
Parish,  and  was  probably  grandson  *  of  Daniel  Fisc,  before  mentioned.  He 
bore  for  his  arms,  chequey,  argent  and  gules,  upon  a  pale,  sable,  three  mullets 
pierced,  or.  These  arms,  with  a  crest  added,  were  confined  to  Prof.  Nicholas 
Fiske,  professor  in  Physic,  of  Stadhaugh,  in  Laxfield. 

In  1633  a  charter  of  confirmation  was  issued  from  Herald's  College.  It 
acknowledges  the  use  of  the  arms  by  a:h  ancestor  to  all  the  emigrants. 

To  all  and  singular  persons  to  whom  these  presents  shall  come,  Wm.  Segar, 
Knight,  Garter  Principall,  King  of  Arms  of  Englishmen,  sendeth  his  due  com-

from  the  beginning  it  hath  been  a  custome  in  all

that  the  bearing  of  certain  signes  in  shields 
(commonlie  called  arms)  hath  been  and  are  the 
only  markes  and  demonstrations  either  of 
prowess,  virtue  and  valour  in  times  of  war  or

such  as  have  done  commendable  service  to

Amongst  the  which  number  I  find  Nicholas 
Fiske  of  Studhaw  in  the  parish  of  Laxfield,  in 
the  county  of  Suffolk,  Professor  in  Phisick,  son 
of  Nathan  Fiske  of  the  same  son  of  William,  son 
of  Thomas,  son  of  William  Fiske  of  Studhaw 
aforesaid  that  lived  in  the  raignes  of  King  Henry

King  Henry  the  seventh,  who  beared  for  their

fitt  for  him  the  said  Nicholas  to  beare,  who  hath  requested  me  the  saide 
Garter  to  assign  him  such  a  one  as  he  may  lawfuUie  use  without  wrong  doing 
or  prejudice  to  any  person  or  persons  whatsoever  which  according  to  his  due

to  say),  on  a  healme  a  torse  argent  and  gules  a  triangle,  argent,  above  the  upper 
angle  an  estoile,  or,  mantelled  gules,  doubled  argent,  as  more  plainly  appeareth  de-

King  of  Armes  by  power  and  authoritie  of  my  office,  under  the  great  seal  of 
England,  due  appoint,  give,  grant,  ratifie  and  confirme  onto  the  said  Nicholas 
Fiske  and  to  his  posteritie  forever  and  that  it  shafi  be  lawfuU  for  him  and  them 
to  use  and  show  forth  the  same  in  signet,  shield,  ensigne,  or  coate  armor  or 
otherwise  at  his  or  their  pleasure,  at  all  times,  and  in  all  places,  according  to  the 
ancient  laws  or  arms  and  laudable  custome  of  England,  without  let  or  moUestation. 
In  witness  whereof,  I  the  saide  Garter  have  hereonto  set  my  hand  and  scale  of 
office,  the  i6th  day  of  November,  A.  D.  1633,  and  in  the  9th  yeare  of  the  raigne  of 
our.Souveraigne  Lord  Charles  by  the  Grace  of  God,  King  of  England,  Scotland, 
France  and  Ireland,  defender  of  the  Faith,  etc. 

This  motto  is  evidently  taken  from  Virgil's  Aeneid,  the  ninth  book.  In  the 
640th  and  641st  lines  of  this  book  you  will  find:  "Atque  his  victorem  affatur 
lulum:     Macte  nova  virtute,  puer:  sic  itur  ad  astra." 

Another  authority  describes  the  arms  as  follows:  Fisk  Armes:  Checkie,  Ar- 
gent and  Gules,  on  pale  sable  1.88  by  .43  inches,  check  ^  inch  Gules  right  hand 
upper  corner  alternate  Argent.  Form,  Top  &  side  5  checks  right  lined  and  right 
angled;  bottom,  spade  shaped,  three  Mullets,  or,  pierced.  Crest:  Torse  1.03  by  .1 
inch  Argent  &  Gules,  Triange  equilateral,  .65  inch,  above  upper  angle  an 
Estoile,  or,  mantled  Gules,  doubled  Argent,  .1  inch. 

The  said  arms  and  crest  are  ree'istered  in  the  Heraldry  book  of  Middlesex, 
made  by  Sir  Henry,  signed  George  Knight  Richmond.     Hen:  Lily,  Rouge,  Rose. 

Heraldry,  a  relic  of  the  feudal  ages,  took  its  rise  in  the  crusades,  and  was  em-

very  much  the  same  purpose  of  the  modern  diploma,  and  have  been  cherished

FISKE  WILLS  IN  SUFFOLK  COUNTY,  ENGLAND. 

In  1854  Col.  Francis  S.  Fiske,  of  Keene,  N.  H.,  now  a  resident  of  Boston,  Mass., 
and  United  States  Commissioner,  employed  the  well  known  American  genealogist 
and  antiquarian,  Horatio  G.  Somerby,  then  residing  in  Camden  Square,  London, 
to  thoroughly  inspect  and  copj'  from  the  records  in  the  various  parishes  in  Suffolk 
County,  England.  He  found  a  mass  of  very  valuable  data  relating  to  the  English 
ancestors  of  the  American   Fiskes  from   1462  to   1635. 

Mr.  Somerby  first  visited  the  several  Suffolk  parishes  where  he  knew  the  Fiskes 
had  resided  and  made  extracts  from  the  parish  registers  which  were  of  sufficient 
antiquity  to  suit  his  purpose.  The  registers  of  South  Elmham  and  Weybread, 
however,  in  one  of  which  he  expected  to  find  the  baptism  of  one  of  the  American 
emigrants,  did  not  date  back  far  enough  to  give  it.  He  next  consulted  some  of 
the  wills  of  the  early  Fiskes  and  found  sufficient  to  justify  him  in  the  belief  that 
Nathan  Fiske,  of  Watertovvn,  Massachusetts  Colony,  was  the  eighth  in  descent 
from  the  first  Simon  of  Laxfield,  through  Robert,  of  St.  James,  South  Elmham, 
who  was  his  great-grandfather.  Simon  was  Lord  of  the  Manor  of  Stadhaugh,  in 
Laxfield,  Suffolk  County,  England,  in  the  time  of  Henry    the  Sixth. 

Between  the  years  1462  and  1635  he  found  some  fifty  wills  of  Fiskes  proved 
in  Suffolk  County,  all  of  the  same  family,  abstracts  of  which  were  furnished  and 
are  inserted  in  their  proper  places,  others  of  this  family  are  as  follows:

RECOLLECTIONS  OF  A  VISIT  TO  LAXFIELD. 

(By  Isabella  H.  Fiske,  of  Wellesley  Farms,  Mass.) 
To  the  member  of  the  family  who  is  interested  in  its  early  history,  and  is 
taking  a  trip  in  England  there  will  be  hardly  anything  more  fruitful  of  enjoyment 
than  turning  aside  a  little  from  the  beaten  track  and  visiting  his  ancestral  home 
of  Laxfield,  in  Suffolk,  from  which  the  American  branch  of  the  Fiskes  emigrated. 
The  town  and  its  vicinity  make  an  interesting  study.  The  nearest  railroad 
town,  and  one  with  which  the  Fiskes  themselves  were  early  identified,  is  Framling- 
ham,  some  eight  miles  distant,  and  with  twenty-five  hundred  inhabitants.  The 
town  itself  claims  through  tradition  to  date  from  the  time  of  Redwald,  king  of  the 
East  Angles.  It  is  certainly  as  early  as  the  Norman  period,  as  the  structure  of  its 
castle  shows. 

This  is  a  fine  old  ruin,  one  of  the  largest  in  England,  covering  over  an  acre 
of  ground,  with  its  thick  walls,  arched  gateway,  and  rising  towers.  It  has  a  most 
interesting  history,  having  been  held  since  the  earliest  records  till  through  the 
thirteenth  century  by  the  baronial  family  of  the  Bigods,  these  being  bestowed  by 
Edward  I.  upon  his  son  Thomas,  of  Brotherton,  and  still  later  coming  into  the 
hands  of  the  Mowbrays  and  Howards;  families  later  represented  by  the  earls  and 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  9 


dukes  of  Norfolk.  It  was  at  one  time  surrendered  into  the  hands  of  John,  and 
again,  much  later,  was  seized  by  the  crown  and  became  the  residence  of  Queen 
Mary  of  England,  being  afterwards  restored  to  the  Howards  by  James  I.  Coming, 
in  the  seventeenth  century,  through  purchase,  into  the  hands  of  Sir  Robert 
Hitcham,  it  was  considerably  dismantled,  and  was  finally,  on  the  hard  terms  of  its 
■entire  demolishment  given  over  by  his  will  into  the  possession  of  Pembroke  Col- 
lege, Cambridge. 

There  is  also  in  Framlingham,  the  fine  old  church  of  St.  Michael's,  dating  in 
part  from  the  thirteenth  century,  and  harboring  as  its  chief  treasure  the  altar 
tombs  of  the  Howards;  the  most  noted  among  whom  are  the  two  earls  of  Surrey, 
one  victor  of  Flodden  field,  the  other,  the  gifted  poet  of  the  Tudor  era,  and  a 
victim   of   Henry   VII. 

Modern  Framlingham  is  quiet  enough,  boasting  as  its  chief  interest,  the  Albert 
Memorial  College,  a  large  school  for  boys.  It  still  keeps  its  antiquarian  interest 
as  central,  however. 

The  name  of  Fiske  is  by  no  means  an  unknown  one  here.  It  may  be  found 
upon  the  stones  in  St.  Michael's  churchyard,  which  is  comparatively  recent,  occur- 
ring about  half  a  dozen  times.  It  is  to  be  seen  in  the  town  records  also,  and  over 
shop  doors  and  the  like,  occasionally.  In  one  instance,  however,  the  proprietor — 
whose  name  was  Fisk — of  one  of  the  stores  there,  on  being  interviewed  in  regard 
to  his  family  was  unfortunately  unable  to  trace  back  his  lineage  even  so  far 
as  his  own  grandfather.  But  we  may  feel  ourselves  quite  justified  in  identifying  the 
early  history  of  the  family  with  that  of  the  town  in  all  the  stirring  scenes  that  were 
witnessed  there. 

In  Framlingham  we  have  a  strong  recollection  of  the  past.  In  Laxfield  we 
have  the  past  itself,  as  something  still  present,  not  yet  outgrown.  It  is  all  de- 
lightfully typical  of  England.  In  the  first  place,  we  have  the  real  English  coun- 
try. We  have  behind  us  all  thought  of  time  and  press  of  circumstances,  and 
stroll  leisurely  along  the  winding  lanes,  shut  in  by  green  hedgerows  from  the 
sloping  hillsides  where  the  sheep  and  cattle  graze  peacefully.  We  have  the  coun- 
try life  of  centuries  ago,  too.  It  is  all  just  as  it  was  when,  as  an  old  play  tells 
us:  "Prince  Charlie  came  riding  down  to  hunt  the  deer  at  Laxfield  with  his  men," 
or  when  Cromwell  and  his  men  came  riding  along  that  way  on  their  destructive 
mission. 

Come  they  did,  most  probably  along  this  route,  for  the  little  church  at  Laxfield 
bears  traces  of  vandal  hands,  which  marked  the  overzeal  of  the  Roundheads.  As 
we  enter  the  little  town,  of  about  five  hundred  inhabitants,  the  whole  atmosphere 
is  delightful,  this  stepping  out  of  the  whirl  of  traffic,  the  rush  of  modern  life,  and 
breathing  this  quieter  air,  with  its  suggestions  of  lavender  and  musk,  its  folds 
and  creases  of  the  past  still  lingering.  The  great  charm  is  the  quaint  unconscious- 
ness of  it  all.  The  centuries  have  slipped  by  unnoted,  and  the  old  church  still 
waits  for  the  awakening  touch  that  seems  as  far  away  as  ever.  The  handful  of 
houses  grouped  around  it  are  true  English  country  homes.  The  rectory  one  would 
wish  particularly  to  visit; a  charming  little  place, which,  with  its  bower  of  green  and 
rosevines  and  suggestions  of  perpetual  summer,  has  all  the  romance  and  quaint- 
ness  of  the  setting  of  the  "Vicar  of  Wakefield."  The  rector  seems  the  Vicar 
■himself,  gray  and  gentle  as  he  is;  a  most  hospitable  man,  who  keeps  up  from 
"his  little  retreat  with  the  movement  of  the  world's  forces,  yet  with  a  contemplative, 
rather  than  an  active  interest. 

We  have  a  strong  sense  of  ownership  in  this  ancestral  home  of  ours  as  we 
linger  along  its  shaded  street,  on  our  way  to  the  churchyard.  This  grows  upon  us  as 
we  find  upon  the  mossgrown  stones  half  obliterated  epitaphs,  containing  the 
familiar  family  name.  It  is  something  set  off  from  the  thoroughfare  of  the  cease- 
less throng  of  tourists;  a  little  by-way  in  which  we  can  take  an  especial  pride, 
and  something  as  deserving  of  study  as  many  a  better  known  object  of  attention. 

As  we  enter  the  exquisite  little  church,  we  note  the  rich,  time-darkened  carv- 
ing, the  finely  executed  stone-work  of  the  fourteenth  century,  and  the  later  Jacobin 
influence  in  the  work.  It  is  all  genuine  from  the  quaint  baptismal  font  within,  to 
the  square  tower  without,  rising  amid  the  trees. 

In  the  parish  register,  which  is  hardly  ever  opened,  the  records  begin  with 
the  sixteenth  century  and  the  name  of  an  Elizabeth  Fisk  is  found  to  be  one  of  the 
•first  entries,  in  1519.     Thus  the  old  register  bears  witness  that  the  Fiskes  were 


10  FISKE  GENEALOGY. 


identified  with  the  town  at  the  earHest  account,  and  suggests  a  far-stretching  past 
as  a  fertile  field  for  the  imagination. 

The  feeling  of  ownership  culminates,  of  course,  in  visiting  the  old  homestead, 
Stadhaugh  perhaps  a  mile  distant.  It  is  a  fine  old  estate,  with  its  hundreds  of 
acres  still  kept  up  and  well  stocked  with  sheep  and  cattle,  and  its  traces  of  manor- 
house  dignity.  Its  quaintly  arranged  chambers,  its  rambling  roominess,  and  low- 
reaching  rafters  make  an  effective  background  for  the  bright  laughter  and  merry 
sport  of  the  rosy  cheeked  English  children  in  the  family  now  occupying  it.  We 
may  look  back  here  in  imagination  upon  the  environments  of  the  Stadhaugh 
Fiskes  in  the  old  days  of  Henry  IV.  and  Henry  VI.,  when  they  were  persecuted 
for  their  loyalty,  and  picture  the  lives  of  our  own  ancstors  there  to  whose  deeds 
of  highmindedness  Cotton  Mather  has  made  stirring  allusion,  naming  this  very 
estate  of  Stadhaugh  as  the  scene  of  the  events  he  has  narrated  to  us.  Surely  the 
old  homestead,  arousing  as  it  does  our  pride  and  patriotism,  is  a  fitting  link  in  the 
past  and  present  of  the  family  history. 

Typical  as  Laxfield  and  its  environs  are,  it  is  hard  to  describe  even  in  detail 
without  seeming  to  generalize.  The  associations  are  of  course  of  more  immediate 
interest  than  the  objects  themselves.  Yet  one  gets  a  great  deal  of  satisfaction,  in 
this  particular  instance  at  least,  by  going  back  to  the  haunts  of  his  family's 
childhood.  If  you  can  not  do  this  in  person,  take  down  your  Oliver  Gold- 
smith and  read  over  again  some  of  the  descriptions  of  Wakefield  and  its  vicar 
You  will  hardly  be  far  from  the  truth.  If  you  can  go,  do.  You  will  see  no  reason, 
if  you  are  a  lover  of  freshness  in  quaintness,  of  the  historic  past,  and  of  rural  Eng- 
land of  today  to  regret  having  visited  your  family's  early  home,  Laxfield.

THE  MANOR  OF  STADHAUGH. 

(Rev.  Franklin  Woodbury  Fisk.) 

Extracts  from  my  notebook  of  travel,  describing  a  visit  made  in  July,  1872,  to 
the  Manor  of  Stadhaugh,  town  of  Laxfield,  county  of  Suffolk,  England,  for  several 
generations  in  the  possession  of  the  Fisk  family: 

July  23,  1872,  Laxfield.  at  "The  Royal  Oak"  hotel. — Leaving  Cambridge  at  10 
o'clock  yesterday  morning,  I  came  by  rail  to  Framlingham,  the  nearest  station 
to  Laxfield,  six  miles  distant.  Calling  on  two  brothers,  Henry  and  George  Fisk, 
the  first  a  glazier,  and  the  other  a  shop-keeper,  to  see  if  I  could  learn  anything 
respecting  their  ancestry.  I  found  that  I  could  learn  absolutely  nothing  except 
that  their  father,  many  years  before,  came  from  the  neighborhood  of  Laxfield. 
I  ordered  dinner  at  "The  Crown"  hotel,  at  5  o'clock,  and  meanwhile  visited  the 
old  castle,  now  in  ruins,  to  which  Queen  Mary  fied  when  Lady  Jane  Grey  was 
placed  upon  the  throne.  It  must  have  been  a  very  strong  castle  in  its  day.  I 
also  visited  the  ancient  church  in  which  is  the  tomb  of  the  celebrated  poet,  Henry 
Howard,  Earl  of  Surrey,  beheaded  by  Henry  VIII.  After  dinner  I  started  ofif  at 
6  o'clock  to  walk  to  Laxfield.  It  was  a  sweltering  day,  and  I  had  a  hard  walk, 
though  in  many  respects  a  pleasant  one,  reaching  Laxfield  about  8  o'clock.  I 
called  at  once  on  the  rector  of  the  church,  Rev.  John  Dallas,  a  gentleman  of  some 
60  years  of  age,  who  has  been  pastor  of  the  church  here  twenty  years.  He  received  me 
very  courteously,  and  kindly  offered  to  go  with  me  in  the  morning  to  the  old 
church  and  inspect  the  records  of  the  baptisms,  marriages  and  deaths  of  persons 
who  had  lived  in  the  parish  since  the  time  of  Queen  Elizabeth,  as  the  records  did 
not  extend  back  of  that  date.  After  engaging  lodgings  at  "The  Royal  Oak,"  I 
called,  at  the  suggestion  of  the  rector,  on  an  aged  gentleman  (Mr.  Brightly),  who 
for  many  years  has  been  an  officer  in  the  church,  and  has  known  the  inhabitants 
of  the  town  for  sixty  years.  He  kindly  gave  me  all  the  information  about  the 
Fisk  family  he  possessed,  and  said  that  there  had  been  no  one  of  that  name  living 
in  the   town   for  the   last  twenty   years. 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  H 


Woodbridge,  July  24. — After  breakfast  yesterday  morning,  I  accompanied  Rev. 
Mr.  Dallas  and  his  accomplished  daughter  to  the  venerable  church  edifice,  with 
its  ancient  Norman  tower.  We  opened  the  rusty  iron  chest,  took  from  it  the  old 
records,  and  pored  over  them  for  hours,  till  12  o'clock,  trying  to  decipher  the 
almost  hieroglyphic  characters  of  the  writing.  We  turned  first  to  the  records  of 
baptisms,  which  we  found  did  not  extend  back  of  1579,  and  these  records,  as  nearly 
as  we  could  make  them  out,  were  as  follows.  (There  is  copied  into  my  notebook 
a  list  of  twenty-seven  baptisms  extending  from  the  year  1579  to  the  year  1651, 
which  was  as  far  as  I  copied.)  The  name  Fisk  stands  the  second  one  of  the  names 
on  these  records,  and  is  almost  uniformly  spelled  for  some  years,  "Ffyske,"  but 
when  a  new  minister  or  clerk  came  to  enter  the  name,  he  spelled  it  differently,  and 
often  without  the  final  "e."  Indeed,  in  one  or  two  instances  the  name  seemed  to  have 
been  spelled  differently  in  the  same  entry  of  a  baptism,  thus:  "Mary  Ffyske, 
daughter  of  Nicholas  Ffysk,  was  baptized  the  8th  day  of  Nov.,  1581."  After  the 
entry  in  the  year  1514,  the  "y"  in  the  name  becomes  changed  into  "i,"  thus:  Ffiske 
or   Ffisk. 

I  noticed  this  record  of  a  marriage:  "Married,  Henry  Ffiske  and  Margarette 
Smith,  the  20th  day  of  Sept.,  1590." 

I  find  that  the  "Studhaw"  estate  (or  as  it  is  indiiTerently  spelled,  "Studhaw," 
"Sudhaw,"  "Stadhaugh"),  was  in  the  possession  of  a  Mr.  John  Smith,  and  I  sus- 
pect that  he  came  into  its  possession  through  the  marriage  connection  of  the 
Fisks  and  Smiths  referred  to  above.  This  Mr.  Smith  appears  to  have  been  a  man 
of  intelligent  and  benevolent  views,  as  he  willed  the  whole  estate,  consisting 
of  about  112  acres  of  excellent  land,  with  good  buildings,  to  the  town  of  Laxfield 
intrust,  the  income  of  which  should  be  forever  appropriated  to  the  support  of  a 
school  for  the  training  in  the  common  branches  of  an  English  education,  of  forty 
poor  orphan  boys  of  the  town  of  Laxfield,  or  if  necessary,  of  the  county  of 
Suffolk,  after  wliich  these  boys  were  to  be  taught  some  useful  trade.  The  be- 
quest was  made,  I  think,  in  1718,  and  ever  since  the  school  has  been  doing  this 
noble  work.  It  is  under  the  care  of  seven  trustees,  of  whom  the  Rev.  John  Dallas 
is  chairman.     I  visited  the  school  and  was  much  pleased  with  it. 

I  walked  out  with  Mr.  Dallas  to  the  estate,  lying  about  half  a  mile  from  the 
village,  and  was  politely  received  and  hospitably  entertained  by  the  tenants,  Mr. 
Thomas  Reed  and  wife,  who  showed  me  through  the  house,  which  must  have 
been  quite  a  grand  one  in  its  day,  though  changed  from  age  to  age,  not  always, 
as  I  think,  for  the  better.  In  the  garret  of  the  house  I  saw  fine  old  oak  wainscoting 
that  generations  ago  adorned  the  lower  rooms  of  the  manor  house.  The  biiilding 
is  of  stone,  of  very  ample  dimensions  on  the  ground,  and  has  a  very  large  kitchen, 
and  butter  and  cheese  rooms,  and  has  commodious  outbuildings.  The  rent  of  the 
estate  is  £170  a  year.  Mr.  Reed's  father  and  grandfather  lived  as  tenants  on  the 
estate,  in  all  for  ninety  years.  After  spending  a  very  pleasant  hour  at  this  de- 
lightful house  of  my  ancestors  for  several  generations,  I  returned  to  the  quamt 
little  village  of  Laxfield.  and  bidding  "good-bye"  to  my  kind  friend,  Mr.  Dallas, 
walked  back  to  Framlingham,  and  taking  a  railway  train  to  this  place  (Wood- 
bridge),  stopped  here  over  night  to  call  on  Mr.  Samuel  Fisk  and  his  two  sons, 
whom  I  found  to  be  prosperous  business  men.  The  father  had  left  Laxfield  forty 
years  ago,  and  had  established  himself  in  Woodbridge,  in  the  cabinet-making  busi- 
ness, in  which  he  had  been  very  successful. 


VISIT  TO  FRAMLINGHAM,  DENNINGTON  AND 
LAXFIELD. 

(By  Prof.  John  Fiske,  of  Cambridge.) 

With  regard  to  an  article  on  the  English  Fiskes,  I  hardly  think  I  know  any- 
thing which  you  do  not  know  already,  but  with  regard  to  the  Manor  House,  I 
can  tell  you  briefly  of  a  visit  which  I  made  there  in  June.  1880.  1  had  been  givmg 
some  lectures  in  London,  and  was  going  thence  to  Edinburgh  to  give  a  course  of 
lectures  there.  I  stopped  at  Ipswich  and  passed  a  night  at  the  Great  White  Horse 
Inn.  immortalized  in  "Pickwick  Papers."  Took  the  train  next  morning  for  the 
quaint  old  market  town  of  Framlingham.  The  English,  by  the  way,  do  not  pro-, 
nounce  that   "1",   and   I   suppose   that   our   Framingham   was   named   after   it.     At 


12  FISKE  GENEALOGY. 


PVamlingham,  my  wife  and  I  tooK  a  dog  cart  and  drove  through  Dennington,  where 
Nicholas  Fiske  lived  in  the  days  of  "Bloody  Mary,"  to  Laxfield,  which  is  nine 
miles  from  Framlingham,  and  almost  within  the  salt  smell  of  the  German  Ocean. 
I  felt  very  doubtful  whether  there  would  be  anything  to  see  at  Laxfield  more 
than  a  meadow  or  potato  patch,  but  it  would  be  something  to  see  even  the  site 
which  one's  forefathers  left  when  they  came  to  New  England.  I  inquired  of  a 
man  working  on  the  road,  and  learned  that  the  Manor  House  of  Stadhaugh  was 
still  standing,  and  that  information  on  local  history  might  be  obtained  from 
Mr.  Aldrich,  the  parish  clerk.  After  a  pleasant  call  at  the  house  of  this  gentle- 
man, I  continued  on  my  way  until  at  the  end  of  a  very  long  hedgerow  I  saw  the 
quaint  farmhouse  known  as  Stadhaugh  Manor.  The  present  occupant,  Mr. 
Thomas  Read,  was  standing  at  the  gate.  On  my  mentioning  my  name,  he  invited 
us  into  tl;e  dining-room,  a  long,  low-studded  room  with  large  fire-place,  tall  clock 
well  stocked  bookshelves,  plants  in  the  window,  and  all  the  appearance  of  com- 
fort. I  learned  from  Mr.  Read  that  the  house  was  built  in  the  time  of  Henry 
VHL,  apparently  at  a  season  when  window  taxes  were  high.  Fiskes  had  lived  on 
the  spot  since  the  time  of  Richard  H.,  and  how  much  earlier  I  do  not  know.  They 
came  to  America  in  such  numbers  that  the  name  became  nearly  extinct  in  Suffolk. 
The  last  Fiske  of  Stadhaugh  died  about  1675.  The  estate  then  passed  into  the 
hands  of  John  Smith,  Esq.,  who  died  in  1715,  leaving  the  Manor  House  and  farm 
of  about  three  hundred  acres  to  the  Parish  of  Laxfield  with  a  provision  that  the 
income  should  be  devoted  to  preparing  poor  boys  for  the  University  at  Cam- 
bridge. The  place  was  leased  by  the  parish  to  a  family  named  Read  on  a  ninety- 
nine  year  lease,  and  at  the  expiration  of  that  period,  the  lease  was  renewed  for 
another  century. 

My  entertainer  belonged  to  the  sixth  generation  of  Reads  who  had  lived  in 
that  house.  He  was  a  fine,  tall,  stately  man,  quick  in  mind  and  well  informed, 
very  like  the  best  type  of  New  England  deacon.  He  seemed  interested  in  seeing  a 
descendant  of  the  ancient  Fiskes,  and  said  that  it  was  not  often  that  he  had  such 
visitors. 

We  called  upon  the  vicar.  Rev.  William  Mothersole,  who  said  that  we  would 
find  on  the  floor  of  the  parish  church  the  names  of  some  Fiske  ancestors  buried 
beneath.  The  little  parish  church  was  built  about  the  time  of  King  Alfred,  1,000 
years  ago.  The  floor  was  covered  with  strips  of  a  kind  of  hemp  carpet,  and  on 
raising  them,  there  was  a  good  deal  of  dust  to  be  cleared  away,  and  as  my  time  was 
limited,  I  gave  up  the  search  for  Fiske  graves.  I,  however,  saw  that  of  "John 
Smith,  Armiger." 

The  vicar's  son,  a  bright  boy  of  twelve,  who  was  much  interested  in  the 
proceedings,  took  me  to  the  village  green  where  the  one  martyr  of  Laxfield  was 
burned  in  the  evil  days  of  Mary  Tudor.  This  victim  was  the  Rev.  John  Noyes,  and 
Fox,  in  his  "Book  of  Martyrs,"  tells  how  his  brother-in-law,  Nicholas  Fiske,  of 
Dennington,  visited  him  the  evening  before  his  execution. 

I  believe  there  is  nothing  more  of  interest  to  be  said  about  my  visit.  The 
country  at  Laxfield  and  all  about  it  has  that  finished,  pastoral  beauty  so  character- 
istic of  the  English  landscape. 


ANCESTRAL  AND  HISTORICAL. 

(By   Rev.   Albert  A.   Fiske.) 

The  Fiskes  in  America  are  descended  from  an  ancient  family  of  that  name, 
which  for  centuries  and  until  a  recent  period,  had  its  seat  and  manorial  lands  in 
Laxfield,  in  the  county  of  Suffolk,  England.  As  early  as  1422,  one  Symond  Fiske 
resided  there  as  Lord  of  the  Manor  of  Stadhaugh,  and  entitled  by  grant  to  coat 
armour.  Several  of  his  descendants  appear  to  have  justly  gained  repute  for  piety 
and  education,  both  among  churchmen  and  non-conformists,  and  numbers  of  them 
during  the  protracted  struggle  of  the  Reformation,  and  especially  in  the  days  of 
Queen  Mary,  endured  severe  persecutions  on  account  of  their  staunch  adherence 
to  Evangelical  principles. 

Robert  Fiske,  of  Laxfield,  son  of  Simon,  and  fourth  in  descent  from  Symond 
Fiske,  of  the  same,  married  Sibyl  Gold,  and  had  sons,  William,  Jeffrey,  Thomas 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  13 


and  Eliezer.  These  parents  were  the  progenitors  of  all  the  Fiskes  that  settled  in 
New  England,  so  far  as  known,  before  1640.  In  considering  their  posterity  here, 
we  must  trace  them  as  descended  from  two  distinct  groups,  coming  over  about 
the  same  time  (1637),  one  group  settling  in  Wenham,  and  the  other  in  Watertown, 
Mass.  William  Fiske,  eldest  son  of  Robert,  married  Ann  Anstye,  and  had  children, 
John,  Nathaniel  (who  died  j^oung),  Eunice  and  Hannah,  the  last  of  whom  mar- 
ried William  Candler,  and  was  the  mother  of  Rev.  Matthias  Candler,  whose  manu- 
scripts, now  on  file  in  the  British  Museum,  furnish  the  records  from  which  the  early 
history  of  the  Fiskes  in  England  have  been  compiled.  John  Fiske,  the  eldest  son 
of  William,  above,  and  grandson  of  Robert  and  Sibyl  Fiske,  married  Ann,  a 
daughter  of  Robert  Lantersee,  and  had  children,  John,  William,  Anne  and  Martha, 
all  of  whom,  with  their  mother,  embarked  for  America  in  1637.  Their  father  had 
died  previously  (in  1633),  and  during  the  passage  the  mother  died  also.  The 
two  brothers,  having  married  in  England,  settled  with  their  families  in  Wenham, 
then  a  village  of  Salem,  Mass.,  about  1640.  John,  who  had  been  already  ordained 
in  the  English  Church,  became  a  noted  and  influential  minister  in  the  colony,  and 
was  settled  as  the  first  minister  of  the  church  in  Wenham.  Cotton  Mather,  in 
that  quaint  volume  entitled  "Magnalia,"  makes  honorable  allusion  to  him,  both 
as  scholar  and  preacher,  and  said  that  "like  the  beloved  Luke,  his  praise  was  in 
all  the  churches."  His  brother,  William,  became  also  a  man  of  mark,  filled  various 
public  offices,  was  representative  to  the  general  court  of  Massachusetts,  but  died 
in  the  prime  of  his  powers  and  usefulness,  under  40  years  of  age.  Both  were  able 
and  useful  men,  were  zealous  Puritans  in  religion,  and  left  descendants  who  per- 
petuated their  good  name  for  several  generations. 
T~  About  the  same  time  that  Rev.  John  and  his  brother  established  themselves 
in  Wenham,  several  of  their  relations  became  also  emigrants  to  the  colony.  David 
Fiske,  of  Watertown,  who  settled  there  with  his  son,  David,  and  nephews,  John  and 
Nathan;  and  Phinehas  Fiske,  of  Wenham,  who  brought  with  him  sons,  James 
(afterwards  of  Haverhill),  John  and  Thomas — these  two  separate  groups  of  families 
were  respectively  descended  from  J^effrey  Fiske  and  Thomas_Fiske,  the  third  sons 
of  Robert  and  Sibyl,  previously  mentioned; ^heir  cousin^TRev.  John  and  William, 
being  descended,  as  we  have  already  shown,  from  William  Fiske,  the  first  son  of 
the  same.  From  these  brothers  and  cousins,  eight  in  all,  who  were  thus  early 
colonized  in  the  commonwealth,  have  sprung  a  numerous,  widely  scattered,  and 
very  respectable  posterity.  Over  one  hundred  and  sixty  of  their  number,  bearing 
the  family  name,  are  on  the  roll  of  college  graduates,  while  very  many  of  them 
have  variously  attained  distinction  as  divines,  authors,  scholars,  and  public  men, 
two  having  been  prominent  candidates  for  the  Presidency  of  the  United  States. 
There  is  not  a  university  or  collegiate  institution  in  this  land,  which  has  not 
had  at  some  period  a  Fiske  filling  a  prominent  chair  on  its  board  of  faculty, 
while  four  of  them  have  been  elected  to  the  presidency  of  such  corporations. 
And  as  to  minisrers  and  deacons  of  churches,  their  number  is  alijiost  beyond 
enumeration.  " 

We  will  now  consider  more  particularly  the  Wenham  group  of  Fiskes.  Rev. 
John  Fiske  and  family  arrived  in  Cambridge,  Mass.,  in  1637.  There  he  engaged 
for  awhile  in  teaching  school,  and  afterwards  in  Salem,  where  he  conducted  the 
first  grammar  school  with  remarkable  success,  his  pupils  being  able,  it  is  said,  to 
conipose  readily  in  Latin,  verse  or  prose.  In  1643  he  removed  to  Wenham 
(adjoining  Salem),  gathered  a  church,  and  became  its  first  pastor,  in  1644.  and 
continued  such  for  more  than  twelve  years.  In  1655  he  removed  to  the  pastorate 
of  the  church  in  Chelmsford,  in  which  he  continued  till  1677,  when  he  died  at 
the  age  of  y6,  leaving  a  family.  Rev.  John  Fiske  was  twice  married.  His 
first  wife,  after  living  with  him  about  thirty-seven  years,  died  in  1771.  Such  was 
her  remarkable  knowledge  of  Scripture  that  she  was  called  her  husband's 
concordance.     She  was  the  mother  of  his  children. 

Moses,  only  son  of  Rev.  John  Fiske  that  arrived  to  maturity,  graduated  at 
Harvard  College  in  1662 — the  first  of  the  Fiske  alumni  in  this  country;  was 
licensed  to  preach  in  1671,  and  ordained  and  settled  over  the  church  in  Braintree 
(now  Quincy),  Mass.,  the  following  year.  He  was  a  preacher  of  considerable 
power  and  animation.  Several  of  his  sermons  were  published,  and  may  be 
found  in  the  archives  of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society.  Rev.  Mo:es  Fiske 
was  twice  married.  His  first  wife  was  Sarah,  a  daughter  of  William  Symmes,  of 
Charleston,    whom    he    married    in    1671.     Of    his    fourteen    children    those    that 


14  FISKE  GENEALOGY. 


lived  were  named  as  follows:  Mary,  Sarah,  Ann,  Elizabeth,  Moses,  John,  William, 
Samuel.  Mrs.  Sarah,  wife  of  Rev.  Moses  Fiske,  died  in  1692.  In  I700,  Jan.  7, 
he  married  Mrs.  Quincey,  a  daughter  of  the  distinguished  Rev.  Thomas  Shepard. 
By  her  he  had,  Shepard  Fiske,  born  April  19,  1703;  Margaret  Fiske,  born  Dec.  15,' 
1705.  Shepard  Fiske,  youngest  son  of  Rev.  Closes  Fiske,  graduated  at  Harvard 
College  in  1721,  and  died  a  physician  at  Bridgewater,  ^lass.,  in  1779.  Mr.  Fiske's 
daughters,  except  the  last,  all  married  clergymen.  Two  of  his  sons  also,  John  and 
William,  were  clergymen.  But  the  subsequent  history  of  their  brothers,  Moses  and 
William,   is   not  definitely  known. 

John  Fiske,  second  son  of  Rev.  Moses  Fiske,  of  Braintree  (Quincy),  graduated 
at  Harvard  College  in  1702,  preached  awhile  in  Braintree  Church,  and  was  or- 
dained pastor  of  a  church  in  Killingly,  Conn.,  October  19,1715;  his  brother-in-law, 
Rev.  Joseph  Baxter,  of  Medfield,  preaching  the  sermon.  Here  he  remained 
until  1741,  when  disafifection  arising  in  the  church,  he  was  dismissed  and  retired 
upon  his  large  landed  estate  in  Killingly,  where  he  died  in  1773,  in  the  89th  year 
of  his  age.  He  is  reported  to  have  been  a  good  scholar,  an  able  preacher,  and  wise 
counselor.  His  wife  was  Abigail,  a  daughter  of  Rev.  Nehemiah  Hobart,  of  Newton, 
Mass.     Of  his  five  children  only  one  was  a  son,  and  he  died  in  infancy. 

Samuel  Fiske,  youngest  son  of  Rev.  Moses  Fiske,  of  Braintree,  graduated 
at  Harvard  College  in  1708 — where  his  name  appears  on  the  roll  without  the 
vowel  termination — and  was  ordained  minister  of  the  First  Church,  in  Salem,  Mass., 
in  October,  1708.  Says  Bentley,  in  his  memorial  sermon:  "Rev.  Saniuel  Fiske 
was  a  man  of  eminent  talents  in  the  pulpit,  of  firm  and  persevering  mind,  and  held 
in  high  esteem  until  disaffection  sprang  up  in  his  church  from  the  ill-defined 
discipline  then  existing  in  our  churches.  He  was  a  preacher  of  real  abilities, 
but  his  high  notions  of  church  authority  were  repugnant  to  many  persons,  and 
interfered  with  his  usefulness.  He  was  dismissed  from  the  First  Church,  in  1735, 
and  accepted  the  charge  of  a  new  society  established  by  his  friends.  He  preached 
the  first  centenary  lecture  of  the  First  Church,  August  6,  1729.  The  election 
sermon  delivered  by  him  before  the  Governor  and  Legislature,  in  1731,  may  be 
reckoned  as  among  the  best.  It  was  published  and  a  copy  is  preserved  among  the 
state  archives.  He  was  dismissed  from  the  Third  Church  in  1745,  when  he 
retired  from  the  ministry.  By  wife,  Anna  Gerrish,  he  had  five  children,  but  only 
one  of  his  sons  reached  maturity,  John,  born  May  6,  1744.  Rev.  Samuel  Fiske  died 
in  Salem,  in  1770,  at  quite  an  advanced  age. 

John  Fiske,  only  surviving  son  of  Rev.  Samuel  Fiske,  of  Salem,  engaged  in 
commercial  pursuits  and  acquired  property.  At  the  time  of  the  Revolution 
he  commanded  the  first  vessel  of  war  commissioned  in  the  service.  At  the  close  of 
the  war,  he  was  commissioned  a  Colonel,  then  a  Brigadier,  and  finally  a  Major 
General  in  the  State  Militia,  which  position  he  held  until  his  death,  in  1797.  He 
was  a  man  of  princely  hospitality,  of  enterprising  spirit,  and  of  benevolent  im- 
pulses. He  took  great  interest  in  the  various  religious  and  charitable  movements 
of  the  day,  and  contributed  freely  to  their  support.  He  was  thrice  married,  but 
left  no  male  issue. 

Peter  Fiske,  a  grandson  of  Rev.  Moses,  of  Quincy,  married  Sarah  Perry,  of 
Grafton,  Mass.,  November  15,  1758.  Four  of  their  children  were  there  born,  Moses, 
Nathaniel,  Peter,  Sarah,  John.  Of  these  the  eldest,  Moses,  graduated  at  Dart- 
mouth College,  in  1786;  was  licensed  and  preached  awhile,  but  never  ordained  to 
the  pastorate.  He  was  a  tutor  in  Dartmouth  College  from  1788  to  1795,  when  he 
removed  to  Helham,  Tenn.,  and  died  there  about  1842.  He  remained  single  until  50 
years  of  age,  and  then  reared  a  family  of  nine  children.  He  ever  manifested  a 
strong  disapprobation  of  negro  slavery,  although  living  in  the  midst  of  slavery  all 
his  days  in  the  south.  He  was  the  author  of  several  published  works  on  slavery. 
John  Fiske,  brother  of  above,  graduated  at  Dartmouth  College,  in  1791,  studied 
theology  with  Rev.  Dr.  Lyman,  of  Hatfield,  and  was  ordained  to  the  ministry 
at  Hadley,  Mass.,  in  May,  1794.  Preaching  for  awhile  as  an  evangelist,  he  ac- 
cepted a  call  to  the  church  in  New  Braintree,  and  was  installed  pastor,  in  August, 
1796.  In  1809  he  enjoyed  with  his  church  a  remarkable  revival,  which  was  re- 
peated in  1818,  1819,  1826,  1831  and  1842.  The  fruits  of  these  awakenings  were 
numerous  additions  to  the  church.  He  preached  his  half  century  discourse 
October  26,  1846,  which  was  published.  He  took  a  deep  interest  in  the  cause 
of  education;  was  one  of  the  ef^cient  helpers  in  the  building  up  of  Amherst  College, 
and  received  the  degree  of  D.   D.   from  that  institution  in   1844.     He  continued 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  15 


to  preach  with  the  assistance  of  a  colleague,  until  October,  1854.  In  March  follow- 
ing, he  died  in  great  peace,  after  a  ministry  of  sixty-one  years  with  the  same 
people.  He  made  a  fine  figure  in  the  pulpit,  being  tall,  dignified,  of  serene  and 
intelligent  countenance.  He  possessed  a  clear  and  well  balanced  mind,  and  a 
general  completeness  of  character  seldom  found.  His  pulpit  efforts  were  marked 
by  eminent  good  sense  and  great  appropriateness,  especially  in  prayer.  Sev- 
eral of  his  discourses  were  published.  Mr.  Fiske  married,  in  1796,  Elizabeth 
Mellen,  of  Milford.  They  had  children:  John  ]\I.,  Alary  W.,  William,  Sarah,  Abby 
and  James.  The  youngest  daughter  married  George  Merriam,  one  of  the  pub- 
lishers of  Webster's  Dictionary.  William  Fiske,  son  of  Rev.  ]Dr.  John,  was  or- 
dained to  the  ministry  in  1865,  and  for  years  did  good  and  efficient  service  among 
the   Freedmen. 

William  Fiske,  Esq.,  who  emigrated  to  America  in  1637,  in  company  with  his 
brother.  Rev.  John  Fiske,  was  born  in  England,  about  1614,  and  was  there 
married  to  Bridget  Musket,  by  whom  he  had  several  children.  He  was  admitted 
Freeman  (at  Wenham),  in  1643,  and  chosen  town  clerk  of  the  same  during  the 
following  year.  He  was  elected  Representative  to  the  General  Court  of  the  Com- 
monwealth in  1647,  and  continued  in  that  office  by  annual  election  until  1652.  He 
appears  to  have  enjoyed  to  a  large  extent  the  confidence  and  respect  of  his 
townsmen,  but  was  cut  short  in  his  career  by  death,  in  1654,  in  the  prime  of 
his  life,  under  40  years  of  age;  having  during  the  eleven  years  of  his  residence  in 
Wenham,  repeatedly  served  in  all  the  positions  of  trust  within  the  gift  of  the  peo- 
ple. He  died  intestate,  and  therefore  most  probably  of  some  sudden  and  acute 
disease.  Letters  of  administration  were  granted  to  his  widow,  in  July,  1654.  by 
which  provision  was  made  for  the  following  children,  therein  named:  William, 
Samuel,  Joseph,  Benjamin,  and  Martha.  William,  the  eldest,  was  born  1642.  Other 
children  may  have  been  born  previously,  but  must  have  died  young.  The  above 
named  were  evidently  the  only  living  heirs  at  the  time  of  their  father's  decease. 
No  records  of  births,  marriages  or  deaths  were  kept  on  the  town  books  of  Wen- 
ham before  1686,  when  Capt.  Thomas  Fiske  was  instructed  to  commence  their 
registration  .  Consequently  the  facts  respecting  the  early  generations  are  derivable 
only  where  private  sources  are  wanting,  from  the  public  records  of  the  land 
and  probate  offices.  These  records,  for  the  entire  counties  of  Essex  and  Middle- 
sex, and  covering  a  period  of  over  two  hundred  3^ears,  in  connection  with  various 
town  records,  have  been  carefully  examined,  and  the  results  of  the  investigation, 
after  much  study,  have  been  compiled  in  the  following  pages. 

William  Fiske,  Jr.,  the  eldest  son  of  William  Fiske,  the  emigrant,  born  in 
1642,  was  married  to  Sarah  Kilham.  of  Wenham,  Jan.  15,  1662,  and  by  her  had 
several  children,  the  record  of  whose  names  and  births  was  found  among 
the  private  papers  of  his  grandson,  William  Fiske,  Sr.,  of  Amherst,  N.  H. 

Mr.  Fiske,  by  occupation  a  weaver,  was  admitted  a  Freeman  in  1670:  was 
chosen  deacon  of  the  Congregational  Church,  of  which  his  uncle,  Rev.  John  Fiske, 
was  first  pastor,  in  1679.  He  also  held  various  public  offices,  such  as  clerk, 
moderator  of  the  town  for  many  years.  He  also  represented  the  town  of  Wenham 
for  eleven  different  sessions  in  the  General  Court  of  Massachusetts.  Indeed,  he 
and  others  of  the  family,  for  fifty  years  consecutively,  were  the  sole  representatives 
of  the  town  in  that  body,  and  until  1720.  He  inherited  to  a  large  extent  his 
father's  ability  and  worthy  character,  being  deacon  of  Wenham  Church  for  above 
forty  years,  and  died  at  a  good  old  age,  in  his  86th  year.  In  his  will,  dated 
1725,  and  proved  1728,  all  of  his  children  are  mentioned  as  legatees,  except  those 
who  had  died  previously.  But  to  his  sixth  son,  Ebenezer.  who  was  principal  heir 
and  legatee,  and  also  his  immediate  successor  in  the  deacon's  office,  was  bequeathed 
"the  original  homestead,"  which  property  became  by  inheritance  the  residence 
also  of  his  grandson.  William  Fiske,  fourth  son  of  Dea.  Ebenezer,  and  remained  in 
the  family  until  March,  1773,  when,  upon  the  removal  of  said  William  Fiske  to 
Amherst,  N.  H.,  it  was  sold  to  one  Wm.  Webber.  Nothing  now  remains  to  mark 
the  spot  but  a  heap  of  stones,  and  the  family  name  becoming  extinct  in  Wenham, 
only  the  venerable  slabs  in  the  cemetery  are  left  to  bear  witness  to  the  fact 
that  here  was  the  ancestral  seat  of  an  ancient  and  honorable  family,  whose  de- 
scendants, widely  scattered  but  still  maintaining  the  high  character  of  their  lineage, 
constitute  today  the  main  body  of  the  Fiskes  in  America.  To  this  source  may  be 
traced  five  distinct  branches,  which  in  this  work  are  classified  as  the  Amherst, 
Upton,  Shelburne,  Rhode  Island  and  Connecticut  lines. 


16  FISKE  GENEALOGY. 


William  Fiske,  fourth  son  of  Dea.  Ebenezer,  of  Wenham,  principal  heir  of  his 
estate  and  sole  executor  of  his  will,  resided  at  the  ancient  homestead  in  Wenham, 
where  probably  his  father,  himself  and  his  own  children  were  all  born,  until  the 
decease  or  removal  of  his  own  immediate  relatives.  Of  himself  personally  little 
is  known,  except  that  in  his  character  and  principles  he  was  a  staunch  Puritan. 
And  considering  that  the  characteristics  of  race  and  parentage  stamp  the  in- 
dividual, it  would  be  strange  were  the  case  otherwise.  His  ancestors  from  a  re- 
mote period  were  Puritans  or  Reformers,  a  lineage  illustrious  for  their  piety  and 
inflexible  virtues.  His  father  and  grandfather  were  successively  deacons  in  the 
original  Wenham  church,  for  upwards  of  seventy  years;  the  same  ancient  church 
of  which  the  Rev.  John  Fiske  himself,  was  the  original  pastor.  More  remotely 
still  the  family  had  been  identified  with  that  great  reformatory  struggle  in  England, 
from  which  were  gathered  the  rich  fruits  of  a  purer  faith  and  constitutional 
liberty.  Such  were  the  forefathers  of  William  Fiske,  and  such  the  ancestral  vir- 
tues, a  goodly  measure  of  which  he  inherited  with  his  patrimony.  That  he  was 
a  man  of  strong  religious  convictions  and  most  exemplary  life  is  manifest  from 
the  admirable  parental  discipline  by  which  his  children  were  trained  to  become 
excellent  citizens,  godly  men  and  women,  and  enabled  to  exert  a  wide  and  benefi- 
cent influence  in  their  day  and  generation.  And  in  this  respect  they  but  bear  em- 
phatic testimony,  alike  with  other  collateral  branches,  to  the  strength  of  that 
moral  principle  which,  taking  root  with  the  parental  stock  in  Wenham,  over  two 
centuries  ago,  has  marvelously  spread  and  diffused  itself,  like  a  spiritual  leaven, 
through  the  various  descendant  and  divergent  lines,  to  this  day.  Mr.  Fiske — ta 
resume  the  thread  of  family  history — having  been  appointed  sole  executor  of  Dea. 
Ebenezer's  will,  remained  in  Wenham  long  enough  to  settle  the  estate  and  dispose 
of  the  homestead,  and  various  tracts  of  land,  when  (in  1773)  he  removed  to  Am- 
herst, N.  H.,  with  his  wife  Susanna,  and  nine  children,  and  two  daughters-in-law, 
Mary  Bragg,  the  wife  of  their  son,  Jonathan,  and  Eunice  Nourse,  wife  of  their 
son,  William.  The  father,  William,  Sr.,  purchased  a  tract  of  land  on  the  south  side 
of  Walnut  Hill,  and  there  the  original  homestead  of  the  Amherst  Fiskes  was 
established.  Having  lived  to  see  his  country  proclaimed  free  and  independent, 
and  his  family  settled  in  comparative  comfort,  he  died  in  1777,  in  the  52d  year  of 
his  age. 

Of  their  sons  and  daughters,  all,  except  Anna,  married,  and  she  and  two 
others  excepted,  William  and  David,  remained  in  Amherst;  all  eventually  removed 
and  settled  elsewhere.  Some  of  them  raised  large  families,  and  all  more  or  less 
prospered  in  circumstances,  and  the  good  esteem  of  their  fellow  citizens.  Of 
them  all,  it  is  believed,  it  may  be  truly  said  that  their  lives  were  blameless  before 
God,  and  their  end  calm  and  full  of  peace.  Among  the  descendants  of  William 
Fiske,  Sr.,  of  Amherst,  may  be  mentioned  Judge  Jonathan  Fiske,  his  son.  Hon. 
Jonathan  Fiske,  Hon.  William  Fiske,  Hon.  Francis  N.  Fiske,  Rev.  Dr.  Franklin 
W.  Fiske,  Rev.  Dr.  L.  R.  Fiske,  Rev.  Dr.  William  Allen  Fiske,  Rev.  A.  A. 
Fiske,  and  a  long  roll  of  deacons  and  other  church  officers.

34  FISKE  GENEALOGY. 


SOMETHING    OF    THE    ENGLISH 
AND  AMERICAN  FISKES. 

(By  Rev.  Thaddeus  Fiske,  of  North  Cambridge,   Mass.) 
The  most  remote  ancestors  of  the  Fiske  family  that  have  come  to  our  knowl- 
edge lived  in  a  village  or  parish  of  St.  James,  in  the  County  of  Suffolk,  England, 
in  the  reign  of  Queen  Mary,  in  the  sixteenth  century. 

There  were  six  brothers,  three  were  Papists  and  three  were  Protestants. 
Their  ancestors,  parents,  grandparents,  and  great-grandparents,  as  far  as  history 
gives  an  account,  are  said  to  have  been  eminently  pious  and  religious  people. 
Those  of  Protestant  religion  were  grievously  persecuted.  Oi.e  of  them,  to  avoid 
being  burned  at  the  stake,  was  hid  many  months  in  a  wood-pile,  and  afterward 
half  a  year  in  a  cellar  where  he  worked  by  candle  light  at  manufactures  and 
remained  undiscovered.  But  his  many  hardships  shortened  his  life.  In  1637  four 
of  his  children,  two  sons  and  two  daughters,  in  consequence  of  the  persecuting 
spirit  of  that  day,  left  their  home  and  came  over  to  New  England  and  took  up 
their  abode  in  Salem.  John  was  the  eldest  of  the  four,  and  his  father  at  his  death 
committed  to  him  the  charge  of  his  mother,  two  sisters  and  youngest  brother. 
John  had  been  educated  at  Immanuel  College,  England,  and  became  a  preacher  of 
the  Gospel,  but  on  account  of  his  non-conformity,  being  advised  by  his  friends, 
he  relinquished  the  ministry  and  turned  his  attention  to  the  study  of  medicine, 
and  obtained  license  for  public  practice  as  a  physician.  On  arriving  at  Salem, 
however,  he  recommenced  the  work  of  the  ministry,  his  favorite  pursuit.     He  was  v. 

both    a    preacher    of    the    Gospel    and    tutor    and    instructor  to   divers  young  \ 

men  in  Salem,  and  was  also  employed  as  a  physician  whenever  he  would  consent.  '-> 

Their  mother  died  before  they  arrived  in  New  England.  They  came  well  provided 
with  servants  and  all  sorts  of  tools  for  husbandry  and  carpentry,  and  with  provis- 
ions for  their  support  for  three  years,  out  of  which  they  helped  others,  whom  they 
found  in  want  and  distress.  They  remained  together  at  Salem  about  three  years. 
John  then  went  to  a  new  village  in  Salem,  called  Wenham,  where  he  gathered  a 
church  and  congregation,  and  continued  their  pastor  about  fourteen  years.  About 
the  end  of  the  year  1655  he  removed  to  a  town  called  Chelmsford,  where  he 
lived  the  greater  part  of  his  days.  He  died  Jan.  14,  1676,  aged  seventy-five. 
He  left  four  children,  two  sons  and  two  daughters.  John  lived  with  his  father 
in  Chelmsford  and  was  a  very  useful  and  respected  citizen.  Moses  was  brought 
up  at  school,  graduated  at  Harvard  University  in  1662;  was  settled  in  the  ministry 
at  Braintree.  On  the  14th  of  February,  1671,  the  wife  of  Rev.  John  Fiske  died, 
which  was  the  greatest  of  all  his  trials  and  afflictions.  She  was  endeared  to  him 
by  forty-three  years  of  mutual  care  and  toil,  affection  and  piety.  By  her  incom- 
parable knowledge  of  the  Scriptures  she  became  his  concordance  of  the  Bible  and 
he  needed  no  other.  She  could  refer  him  to  any  passage  of  the  Scripture  that  he 
wished  to  find,  "fhe  youngest  brother  of  John  Fiske  who  came  over  with  him 
settled  in  Watertown  and  was  mechanic  or  farmer.  His  name  probably  was 
Nathan,  for  mention  is  made  in  Watertown  records  of  Nathan  Fiske  there  in  1664 
and  of  Nathan  Fiske,  Jr.,  in  1728,  who  was  representative  of  the  town.  Nathan, 
the  son  of  the  above  named  Nathan  Fiske,  went  from  Watertown  and  settled  at 
Weston.  He  was  the  grandfather  of  Rev.  Thaddeus  Fiske,  of  West  Cambridge. 
On  Oct.  9  he  married  Anna  Warren,  by  whom  he  had  three  children:  Anna, 
Nathan  and  Sarah.  Having  lost  his  wife  he  married,  Feb.  21,  1738,  for  his  second 
wife  widow  Mary  Fiske,  of  Sudbury,  by  whom  he  had  seven  children,  namely: 
Jonathan,  Ezra,  Samuel,  Thaddeus,  Mary,  Hepzibeth  and  Nathan,  the  eldest,  who 
graduated  at  Harvard  in  1754  and  was  settled  in  the  ministry  in  Brookfield.  It 
appears  that  the  name  of  Nathan  was  uniformly  given  to  the  firstborn  son,  a 
practice  transmitted  from  generation  to  generation.  Jonathan  married  Abigal 
Fiske,  of  Waltham,  Mar.  10,  1760,  by  whom  he  had  nine  children:  Nathan,  Thad- 
deus, Micah,  Ebenezer,  Abigal,  Jonathan  (who  died  in  infancy),  Jonathan,  Abigal 
and  Isaac.  Among  the  descendants  of  Nathan  there  are  eight  who  have  received 
collegiate  educations,  seven  Hummis  of  Harvard  University,  one  of  Dartmouth

NAMED  FOR  FISKES. 

There  are  a  number  of  places  in  the  United  States  named  Fisk  and  quite  a 
number  of  postoffices  of  this  name.  In  all  cases  the  names  were  given  in  honor 
of  a  person  by  this  name.     Below  will  be  found  a  few  illustrations: 

FISK,  VT. — In  the  years  1765  and  1766  a  French  general  from  Canada  named 
Lamathe  built  a  large  fort  and  had  it  garrisoned  with  soldiers  and  implements 
of  war  in  what  is  now  called  the  town  of  Isle  La  Mott,  which  is  an  island  sur- 
rounded by  the  waters  of  Lake  Champlain,  containing  4,883^/^  acres  by  the  original 
survey,  and  was  named  in  part  after  the  said  French  general  Lamathe,  they 
changed  Lamathe  to  La  Mott  for  some  reason  not  now  known.  The  town  being 
an  island,  hence  it  was  called  Isle  La  Mott.  There  were  enlightened,  educated 
French  officers  occupying  said  fort  from  1766  to  some  time  unknown  at  this  time, 
when  it  was  evacuated  for  at  least  fifty-seven  years  before  a  blow  had  been  struck 
elsewhere  within  the  present  domain  of  the  state  of  Vermont  by  civilized  man. 
I  do  not  know  as  you  care  to  have  an  account  of  the  war  for  which  this  fort  was 
built  and  I  have  not  time  to  give  it.  In  1802  Samuel  Fisk,  Esq.,  representing  said 
Isle  La  Mott  in  the  legislature  of  Vermont,  had  the  name  changed  from  Isle 
La  Mott  to  Vineyard.  In  1830  it  was  changed  back  to  Isle  La  Mott.  The  present 
postoffice  is  Fisk,  named  in  honor  of  Hon.  Nelson  W.  Fisk,  lieutenant-governor 
of  Vermont. 

FISKDALE,  MASS. — Chase's  History  gives  the  following  account  of  Fisk- 
dale,  which  is  a  village  in  the  town  of  Sturbridge:  "Two  brothers,  Henry  and 
Josiah  J.  Fiske,  sons  of  David,  of  Fiske  hill,  and  grandsons  of  Henry,  bought 
Moses  Allers'  farm,  erected  the  first  factory  and  laid  the  foundation  of  the  village 
that  bears  their  name.  Moses  Allen's  farm  was  deeded  to  them  in  1826."  Frederick 
D.  Fiske,  office  87  Milk  Street,  Boston,  is  at  present  at  the  head  of  the  business. 

FISK,  MO.— Fisk,  Mo.,  Sept.  4,  1895.  Dear  Sir:  Your  letter  of  28th 
addressed  to  town  clerk  is  handed  me  for  a  reply.  The  postoffice  here  was  given 
the  name  of  "Fisk"  for  the  reason  it  was  a  short  name,  and  as  a  compliment  to 
me,  having  done  quite  a  mill  business  here  for  several  years,  and  am  now  the 
postmaster  here.  I  came  to  this  place  twelve  years  ago  from  Kalamazoo,  Mich., 
or  near  there,  in  Van  Buren  County.  My  parents  originally  came  from  Rhode 
Island.  I  was  born  in  Vermont  in  1831.  My  father's  name  was  Samuel  B.  Fisk. 
Am  cousin  to  James  Fisk,  Jr.,  who  was  shot  by  Stokes  some  years  ago.  I  sup- 
pose I  have  a  cousin  living  in  Chicago  by  name  of  C.  W.  Fisk.  If  I  can  be  of  any 
help  to  you  in  compiling  your  work  shall  be  glad  to  do  what  I  can. 

Very  truly, 

S.  W.  FISK.

86  v.  ELIZABETH,  b.  in  England;  m.  Robert  Bernard.  It  will  be 
remembered  that  Robert  and  Sybil  Fiske,  of  whom  their  de- 
scendants were  accustomed  to  speak  with  respect  as  Protestant 
confessors  in  the  reign  of  Queen  Mary,  had  beside  the  four 
sons  a  daughter  Elizabeth,  who  married  Robert  Bernard,  who 
was  a  farmer  of  the  estate  of  Custrick  Hall,  in  Wecky,  County 
Essex,  which  he  held  of  Sir  Edward  Coke,  the  lord  chief 
justice.  And,  having  mentioned  this  marriage,  Candler  brings 
before  us  a  genealogical  fact  of  great  curiosity  and  impor- 
tance. It  is  that  a  daughter  of  this  Bernard  married  a  Locke, 
and  was  the  mother  of  John  Locke,  who  writing  about  1660, 
he  describes  simply  as  "John  Locke,  M.  A."  Very  little  is 
known  of  Locke's  father,  but,  any  one  who  has  written  on 
his  life  has  not  had  the  slightest  knowledge  of  the  mother  to 
whom  we  owe  this  eminent  man.  The  mother  of  Locke  was 
brought  up  among  the  more  zealous  Puritans  of  the  Counties 
of  Essex  and  Suffolk,  and  heard  from  her  infancy  stories  of 
religious  persecutions.  She  must  have  seen  near  connections 
of  her  family  leaving  their  native  homes  to  find,  as  they  sup- 
posed, security  and  peace  in  a  distant  land,  and  the  feeling  thus 
engendered  in  her  mind  we  may  easily  believe  to  have  been 
communicated  to  her  son,  who  in  due  time  became  the  great 
defender  of  the  principles  of  the  utmost  tolerance  in  dealing 
with  men  in  force  of  conscience  and  religious  opinion.  This 
is  a  digression,  but  perhaps  it  will  not  be  unacceptable  to  see 
the  name  of  so  illustrious  a  person  now  for  t'C  ir-r^^t  time 
placed  in  public  in  family  connection  with  so  mary  of  the  v', — ; 
Puritan  settlers  in  New  England.  Bernard  stcd  in  the  reic-n 
tion  of  great-uncle  to  Candler,  who  records  th-  facts  which  1 
have  now  brought  from  their  hiding  place,  and  to  all  the 
Fiskes  who  laid  the  foundation  of  the  familes  of  that  name 
in  the  New  England  states.  John  Locke  (griudson  of  Robert 
Fiske),  English  philosopher,  was  born  at  ^v/■rington.  Somer- 
setshire, Aug.  29,  1632,  died  at  Oates,  a  cou'itry  seat  in-£ssex, 
Oct  28,  1704.  The  moderate  inheritance  of  his  family  was  con- 
siderably reduced  during  the  civil  wars,  in  which  his  father  was 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  41 


a  parliamentary  captain.  Under  the  brief  political  ascendancy 
of  the  Puritans  he  imbibed  the  religious  principle  and  spirit 
of  liberty  which  actuated  that  body  of  men.  His  education 
began  at  Westminster  school,  from  which  he  was  elected  in 
1651  to  Christ  Church  College,  Oxford,  where  he  graduated 
bachelor  of  arts  in  1655  and  master  in  1658,  continuing  to 
reside  in  that  city  till  1664.  In  after  life  he  regretted  that  he 
had  spent  so  much  of  his  time  in  the  university,  chiefly  from  his 
contempt  of  the  scholastic  philosophy  and  methods  which  were 
there  upheld;  yet  he  applied  himself  diligently  to  the  classics, 
read  in  private  the  works  of  Bacon  and  Descartes,  and  enjoyed 
the  friendship  of  persons  whose  society  and  conversation  first 
suggested  the  idea  of  his  greatest  work.  His  companions 
were  chosen  rather  from  among  the  lively  and  agreeable  than 
the  sfudious  and  learned,  and  his  early  correspondence  often 
displays  wit  and  irony.  The  precise  and  scientific  method  of 
Descartes  seems  to  have  given  the  first  impulse  to  his  specu- 
lations, but  Bacon  exerted  a  more  permanent  and  congenial 
influence,  and  he  may  be  called  the  metaphysician  of  the 
Baconian  philosophy.  After  receiving  his  degrees  he  devoted 
himself  principally  to  medicine,  which  occupied  much  of  his 
attention  through  life,  and  his  eminent  proficiency  in  which  is 
attested  by  Dr.  Sudenham,  the  greatest  authority  of  his  time. 
In  1664  he  accepted  the  post  of  secretary  in  a  diplomatic  mis- 
sion to  the  court  of  Brandenburg,  and,  returning  to  Oxford 
within  a  year,  was  in  doubt  whether  to  begin  the  practice  of 
medicine  as  a  profession,  to  continue  in  diplomatic  employ- 
ment, offers  of  which  both  in  Spain  and  Germany  were  made 
to  him,  or  to  enter  the  church,  a  considerable  preferment  in 
which  was  promised  through  the  duke  of  Orleans,  lord  lieu- 
tenant of  Ireland.  He  was  engaged  in  studies  of  experimental 
philosophy,  when  in  1666  he  became  acquainted  with  Lord 
Ashley,  afterward  earl  of  Shaftesbury,  who  was  then  suffering 
from  an  abscess  in  the  chest.  Locke  divined  the  nature  of  the 
disorder,  which  no  one  else  had  been  able  to  discover;  the  life 
of  the  nobleman  was  believed  to  have  been  saved  by  a  surgical 
operation  which  the  philosopher  advised;  and  the  result  was 
a  close  and  permanent  friendship  between  them.  Locke  ac- 
companied him  to  London,  and  in  his  house  enjoyed  the  soci- 
ety of  the  duke  of  Buckingham,  the  earl  of  Northumberland, 
Lord  Halifax,  and  others  of  the  most  distinguished  characters 
of  the  time.  Ashley  united  engaging  manners  with  distin- 
guished ability,  and  was  an  admirable  talker;  and  Locke, 
whose  esteem  for  conversational  capacity  led  him  to  assign  it 
a  first  place  in  the  formation  of  a  man's  mind,  was  probably 
attached  in  this  instance  very  much  by  his  quality.  While 
residing  with  him,  he  superintended  the  education  of  his  son, 
and  subsequently  of  his  grandson,  the  third  earl  of  Shaftes- 
bury, the  elegant  philosophical  writer  of  Queen  Anne's  reign. 
In  1668  he  accompanied  the  earl  and  countess  of  Northumber- 
land on  a  tour  in  France,  and  after  his  return  was  employed 
by  Ashley  to  draw  up  the  fundamental  laws  of  Carolina,  which 
province  had  been  granted  to  him  and  seven  others.  The 
scheme  of  government  which  was  prepared,  aristocratic  and 
conformed  to  monarchy,  yet  tolerant  of  all  religions,  indicates 
the  cautious  and  practical  tendencies  of  his  mind,  since,  though 
a  lover  of  freedom,  he  proposed  to  establish  it  in  a  new  coun- 
try only  in  so  far  as  it  had  been  realized  in  England.  In  1670 
he  made  the  first  sketch  of  his  "Essay  concerning  Human 
Understanding,"  which  was  finished  in  1687  and  published  in 
1690.  In  a  discussion  with  five  or  six  friends  at  his  chambers 
in  Oxford,  he  suggested  that  the  dispute  and  perplexity  could 
only  be  solved  by  a  preliminary  examination  of  our  own  abili-

ties,  and  of  what  subjects  our  understandings  are  or  are  not 
fitted  to  deal  with.  He  set  down  several  thoughts  on  the  sub- 
ject previous  to  their  next  meeting,  and  the  work  thus  begun 
was  often  resumed  and  often  neglected  during  his  various  avo- 
cations, and  was  ultimately  completed  in  retirement  and  leis- 
ure. While  Shaftesbury  was  lord  chancellor,  Locke  held  the 
appointment  of  secretary  for  the  presentation  of  beneficies,  and 
afterward  of  secretary  to  the  board  of  trade.  In  1675  he  went 
to  France  for  the  benefit  of  his  health,  residing  at  Montpellier, 
where  he  became  acquainted  with  Mr.  Herbert,  afterward  earl 
of  Pembroke,  to  whom  his  "Essay"  is  dedicated,  and  in  Paris, 
where  his  conversation  was  welcomed  by  the  most  eminent 
literary  and  scientific  men.  He  was  recalled  to  England  when 
Shaftesbury  regained  power  for  a  brief  season  in  1679;  and 
when  that  nobleman  charged  with  high  treason  had  taken 
refuge  in  Holland,  he  followed  him  thither  in  1683.  He  con- 
tinued to  reside  there  after  the  death  of  Shaftesbury,  having 
incurred  the  hostility  of  the  court  by  his  connection  with  him. 
At  Amsterdam  he  kept  aloof  from  the  British  exiles  who  were 
plotting  the  rebellion  of  Monmouth,  auguring  their  ill  success, 
and  joined  with  Limborch,  Le  Clerc,  and  others,  in  the  forma- 
tion of  a  philosophical  society  for  the  weekly  discussion  of  im- 
portant business.  Spies  were  set  about  him  to  suggest  irri- 
tating topics,  and  to  report  his  words  to  his  ruin,  but  they 
were  foiled  by  his  steady  silence  concerning  the  politics  of  the 
day.  The  court  therefore  resolved  to  punish  him  in  the  only 
point  where  he  was  vulnerable,  and  ejected  him  from  his  stu- 
dentship in  Christchurch  College.  Still  he  refused  to  take  part 
in  the  schemes  of  invasion,  and  concealed  himself  at  Utrecht, 
where  he  was  employed  in  writing  his  letter  "On  Toleration." 
In  the  Bibliotheque  universalle  et  historique  of  Le  Clerc  he 
published  in  French  in  1686  a  "New  Method  of  a  Common- 
place Book,"  in  1687  an  abridgement  of  his  "Essay  on  the 
Human  Understanding,"  which  was  published  in  England  in 
the  same  year,  and  in  Latin  at  Gouda  in  1689.  Its  liberal  views 
were  attacked  by  an  Oxford  theologian,  and  were  defended  by 
Locke  in  two  additional  letters.  Adopting  the  theory  of  a 
compact,  he  maintained  that  the  state  relates  only  to  civil  inter- 
ests, has  nothing  to  do  with  matters  in  the  world  to  come, 
and  should  therefore  tolerate  all  modes  of  worship  not  im- 
moral in  their  nature  or  involving  doctrines  inimical  to  good 
government.  Conscious  of  no  crime,  he  refused  to  accept  a 
pardon  which  William  Penn  promised  to  obtain  for  him  from 
James  II.,  but  returned  to  England  after  the  revolution  of 
1688  in  the  same  fleet  which  brought  the  Princess  of  Orange, 
and  obtained  through  Lord  Mordaunt  the  office  of  commis- 
sioner of  appeals.  In  1690  appeared  his  "Essay  concerning 
Human  Understanding,"  the  first  work  which  attracted  atten- 
tion in  England  to  metaphysical  speculations,  except  on  the 
part  of  merely  studious  men,  and  one  of  the  greatest  contribu- 
tions in  modern  times  to  the  philosophy  of  the  human  mind. 
The  celebrity  of  the  author  as  a  friend  of  religious  liberty,  the 
attacks  upon  it,  and  the  attempts  made  at  Oxford  to  prevent 
the  students  from  reading  it.  were  among  the  secondary 
causes  of  its  success.  Six  editions  appeared  within  fourteen 
years,  and  through  translations  into  Latin  and  French  the 
fame  of  the  author  was  made  European.  He  published  in 
1690  two  "Treatises  on  Civil  Government,"  written  to  support 
the  principles  of  the  revolution  by  establishing  the  title  of 
King  William  upon  the  consent  of  the  people  as  the  only 
title  of  lawful  government.  In  1693  his  "Thoughts  Concern- 
ing Education,"  in  which  his  object  is  to  fashion  a  gentleman 
rather   than   a   scholar,   and   therefore   he   lays   less   stress   on 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  43 


learning  than  on  virtue,  breeding  and  practical  wisdom;  and 
in  1695  "The  Reasonableness  of  Christianity,"  the  object  of 
which  was  to  determine  what  points  of  belief  were  common 
to  all  the  Christian  sects,  in  order  to  facilitate  a  plan  of  the 
king  for  the  reconciliation  and  union  of  them  all.  He  pub- 
lished a  vindication  of  this  work  against  the  charge  of  So- 
cinianism,  and  conducted  a  controversy  with  Stillingfieet, 
who  in  his  work  on  the  Trinity  denounced  some  of  the  prin- 
ciples of  the  "Essay"  as  opposed  to  fundamental  Christian 
doctrines.  In  1700  he  resigned  his  commissionership  in  con- 
sequence of  his  failing  health,  and,  declining  a  pension  offered 
him  by  the  king  in  a  personal  interview,  returned  to  the  man- 
sion of  his  friend  Sir  Francis  Masham  at  Oates,  in  Essex, 
where  he  devoted  the  remainder  of  his  life  to  the  study  of  the 
Scriptures.  Among  the  fruits  of  his  later  labors  were  a  "Dis- 
course on  the  Miracles,"  "Paraphrases,  with  Notes,  of  the 
Epistles  of  St.  Paul,"  and  an  "Examination  of  Father  Male- 
branche's  Opinion  of  Seeing  all  Things  in  God,"  which  were 
published  posthumously.  His  excellent  treatise  on  the  "Con- 
duct of  the  Understanding,"  which  may  be  regarded  as  the 
ethical  application  of  his  "Essay,"  being  a  scheme  of  the  edu- 
cation which  an  adult  person  should  give  himself,  also  ap- 
peared after  his  death.  He  received  during  his  last  years, 
while  suffering  under  an  incurable  asthma,  the  affectionate 
attentions  of  Lady  Masham,  a  daughter  of  Ralph  Cudworth, 
and  died  ultimately  in  his  chair,  from  the  natural  decay  of  a 
constitution  originally  weak,  while  she  was  reading  the  Psalms 
to  him.  The  course  and  circumstances  of  Locke's  life  were 
in  every  respect  favorable  to  the  production  of  such  work  as 
the  "Essa"  Concerning  Human  Understanding."  Early  im- 
bued with,  zeal  for  liberty  and  with  the  principles  of  a  severe 
moi"ality,  1  5  whole  life  was  a  warfare  against  the  enemies  of 
freedom  ii  speculation,  freedom  in  worship,  and  freedom 
from  ever]  unnecessary  political  restraint.  Acquainted  by 
his  studies  both  with  scholastic  subtleties  and  the  physical 
sciences,  he  was  in  mature  age  admitted  to  the  society  of  wits 
and  politicians,  and  became  a  man  of  business  and  of  the 
world.  The  "Essay"  was  the  product  of  meditation  continued 
through  many  years,  was  composed  at  intervals,  and  is  in  a 
studied  colloquial  and  rather  racy  style,  which,  however  at- 
tractive to  the  reader,  is  too  figurative,  ambiguous,  various, 
and  even  contradictory,  for  the  purposes  of  philosophy.  The 
essential  character  and  tendency  of  his  system  has  therefore 
always  been  a  matter  of  dispute  between  metaphysicians  of 
difterenl  schools,  and  different  passages  suggest  very  opposite 
conclusions.  His  object  was  to  inquire  into  the  origin,  cer- 
tainty, and  extent  of  human  knowledge,  and  his  method  was 
purely  psychological,  by  the  patient  and  tentative  observa- 
tion of  the  phenomena  of  consciousness.  In  the  first  book  he 
confutes  the  Cartesian  doctrine  of  innate  principles  or  axioms, 
which  would  conflict  with  his  whole  theory  of  the  empirical 
origin  of  our  ideas.  This  theory  is  fully  developed  in  the 
second  book,  in  which  he  shows  that  our  natural  faculties  are 
capable  of  forming  every  notion  that  we  possess,  that  the 
action  of  these  faculties  takes  its  rise  from  experience,  and 
that  the  mind  may  therefore  be  compared  to  a  sheet  of  white 
paper  void  of  all  characters  till  the  events  of  time  inscribe 
them.  Having  thus  stated  the  principle  that  all  the  materials 
of  our  knowledge  come  from  experience,  he  explains  it  more 
particularly  by  making  a  distinction  between  sensation  and  re- 
flection as  sources  of  ideas.  The  former  is  observation  of  the 
external  world,  the  latter  of  our  own  mental  operations. 
Though  he  uses  the  term  reflection  in  a  wavering  and  indefi-

nite  sense,  it  does  not  plainly  appear  that  he  ascribed  to  it  any 
other  power  than  that  of  a  mere  formal  and  logical  mechan- 
ism, to  act  upon,  to  combine  and  compare,  and  to  extensively 
modify  the  materials  primarily  afforded  by  the  senses.  In 
long  and  acute  processes  of  reasoning  he  aims  to  bring  the 
ideas  of  space,  time,  infinity,  causality,  personal  identity,  sub- 
stance, and  good  and  evil  within  the  limits  of  experience.  The 
third  book  is  a  treatise  on  the  nature,  use  and  abuse  of  lan- 
guage. In  the  fourth  book  he  passes  from  ideas  to  knowl- 
edge, from  psychology  to  onthology,  treating  the  question 
as  to  the  adequacy  of  our  ideas  and  the  reality  of  our  knowl- 
edge. He  held  a  representative  theory  of  perception,  main- 
taining that  the  mind  does  not  know  things  immediately,  but 
by  the  intervention  of  ideas;  that  knowledge  is  real  only  in  so 
far  as  there  is  conformity  between  our  ideas  and  the  reality 
of  things:  and  that  ideas  may  be  entirely  inadequate,  however 
distinct  they  are,  thus  rejecting  the  criterion  of  Descartes. 
This  theory  contains  the  germ  of  utter  skepticism,  and  was  the 
ground  on  which  Berkeley  denied  the  existence  of  the  material 
world,  and  Hume  involved  all  human  knowledge  in  doubt. 
The  distinction  established  by  Kant  between  the  cause  and  the 
occasion  of  our  conceptions,  making  the  former  to  exist  in  the 
original  constitution  of  the  mind,  and  the  latter  in  the  circum- 
stances of  experience,  would  have  removed  the  fundamental 
error  involved,  perhaps  without  design,  in  the  system  of  Locke. 
There  are  indications  in  many  passages  of  his  work  that  he  was 
not  satisfied  with  that  tendency  to  sensationalism,  which  when 
rigidly  developed  bore  fruits  of  utilitarianism  in  morals,  ma- 
terialism in  metaphysics,  and  skepticism  in  religion.  A  biog- 
raphy of  Locke  was  published  in  1829  by  Lord  King,  a  lineal 
descendant  of  his  sister,  and  added  to  Bohn's  "Standard 
Library"  in  1858.  The  best  complete  edition  of  his  works  is 
in  10  vols.  (London,  182,3).  His  philosophical  works  have 
been  published  by  J.  A.  St.  John  (2d  ed.,  2  vols.,  London, 
1854).  A  new  biography  by  H.  R.  Fox  Bourne  was  announced 
in  1874.  Another  daughter  of  Elizabeth  (Fisk)  Bernard  married

to  Cotton  Mather  he  lived  in  the  reign  of  Queen  Mary  and  endured  grievous  per- 
secution. There  were  several  branches  of  Fiskes  in  the  southern  parts  of  the 
County  of  Suffolk,  England,  all  springing  from  a  Richard  Fiske,  who  lived  at 
Broad  Gates,  in  Laxfield,  a  rural  village  north  of  Framlingham,  where  the  inhab- 
itants were  so  zealous  for  the  reformation  that  one  of  them,  John  Noyes,  was 
most  barbarously  put  to  death  in  the  reign  of  Queen  Mary.  Fox.  in  his  account 
of  the  burning  of  Noyes,  speaks  of  Nicholas  Fiske,  who  was  one  of  the  sons  of 
Richard.  Two  other  of  his  sons,  Robert  and  William,  fled  in  the  time  of  that  ter- 
rible persecution.  It  does  not  appear  that  Nicholas  had  any  issue.  William 
who  had  fled  was  the  subject  of  a  parricide,  for  which  his  son,  Joseph  Fiske, 
suffered  the  penalty  of  death  at  Bury  St.  Edmunds.  Of  this  branch  of  the  family 
nothing  more  need  be  said,  or  of  the  descendants  of  other  sons  of  Richard,  than 
Robert,  from  whom  sprang  all  of  the  name  who  were  in  the  early  emigration. 
He  resided  in  Laxfield  and  made  his  will  Sept.  7,  1572,  which  was  proved  Nov.  5, 
1572.  His  wife  was  Agnes,  son  Elias,  daus.  Mary,  Margaret,  Anne,  Elizabeth

James  m  South  Elmham,  and  it  is  said  of  him  that  he  fled  with  his  father  for 
religion's  sake.  His  wife  was  Anne,  dau.  of  Walter  Anstye,  of  Tibbenham.,  Long 
Row  in  Norfolk.  They  had  John,  Nathaniel  and  Eleazer,  Eunice,  Hannah  and 
Esther.  Eunice  died  unmarried.  Esther  married  John  Challie,  or  Chalke,  of 
Road  Hall,  and  Hannah,  William  Candler,  and  was  the  mother  of  the  genealogist,

England,  were  related  to  the  Fiskes.  These  were  Joshua  and 
Anthony  Fisher,  who  took  their  freedom,  Joshua  in  1640  and 
Anthony,  Jr.,  in  1646.  They  were  brothers,  sons  of  Anthony 
Fisher,  of  Syleham,  by  his  wife  Mary,  who  was  another  dau. 
_0l_William_and__Anoe  Fisk^,  of  South  Elmham;  but  this  is 
another  insfafrce  in  which  we  have  to  regret  that  Candler  in 
his  manuscript  did  not  draw  his  pedigrees  with  more  precision. 
Candler  does  not  give  us  any  further  information  respecting 
them,  but  we  may  form  some  idea  of  the  class  of  society  from 
which  they  sprang  from  the  notice  which  he  takes  of  two  of 
their  brothers  who  appear  to  have  remained  in  England:  Cor- 
nelius, who  was  M.  A.  and  taught  the  school  at  East  Bergholt, 
and  Amos  wh6  farmed  an  estate  called  Custridge  Hall  in  the 
Parish  of  Wesley,  which  is  in  the  hundred  of  Tendring  between 
Colchester  and  the  sea.  Cornelius  left  no  issue,  and  his  widow 
remained  with  George  Smith  who  was  one  of  the  ministers  at 
Dedham,  a  famous  city  of  Puritan  piety.  Amos  married  Anne 
Morice,  the  relict  of  Daniel  Locke,  and  had  several  children,

1633.  His  wife  was  Anne,  daughter  of  Robert  Lantersee.  These  are  the  four 
persons  of  one  family,  two  brothers  and  two  sisters,  all  married,  and  who  Mather

1640.  Who  this  Francis  Chickering  was  I  know  not,  further 
than  is  to  be  found  in  the  Candler  manuscript  in  the  British 
Museum,  which  gives  no  description  of  him;  but  in  Savage's 
Winthrop,  note  to  Vol.  i,  page  84,  the  Rev.  Mr.  Chickering, 
mmister  of  Woburn,  is  mentioned,  who  might  be  supposed  to 
be  a  relative.  Candler,  in  his  manuscript,  speaks  of  another 
Chickering,  whose  Christian  name  was  unknown,  to  whom  he 
married  the  widow  of  a  first  cousin  of  Candler's  father,  Ben- 
jamin Smith,  farmer  of  Northall,  in  Wrentham.  (Our  Henry 
Chickering,  of  Dedham,  was  probably  a  brother  of  Francis.) 
This  Mr.  Chickering,  he  further  says,  went  to  New  England 
after  the  death  of  his  wife.  Benjamin  Smith  was  brother  to 
Sarah,  wife  of  David  Fiske,  emigrant.  They  res.  in  Dedham. 
He  belonged  to  an  artillery  company  in  1643  and  later  was 
Ensign.  He  was  representative  in  1644  and  1653.  Their  ch. 
were:  Ann  and  Mary,  b.  in  England;  Elizabeth,

four  ch.  born  in  New  England:  Martha,  Edmund,  Thomas, 
bap.  Feb.  12,  1643;  and  Hannah,  bap.  July  4,  1647.  They  re- 
turned to  England  and  resided  ?t  Yarmouth,  where  they  had 
three  ch.  born  to  them:  John,  Esther  and  John,  who  all  d.  in 
infancy.  Candler  informs  us  that  Captain  Thompson,  who  was 
a  sea  captain,  served  the  States  of  Holland  after  the  death  of 
King  Charles  the  First.  He  first  resided  in  Salem,  Mass.,  in

He  was  ofWatertown,  was  admitted  a  freeman  of  the  colony  in  Mar.,  1637-8.  He  had 
come  to  America,  probably  the  preceding  year,  as  he  was  not  a  proprietor  until 
Feb.,  1637.  Before  1644  he  was  a  grrmtee  of  one  lot  and  a  purchaser  of  six  other 
lots.  His  homestall  of  twenty-two  acres  was  granted  to  John  Kingsbury,  of  whom 
he  had  purchased  it  just  prior  to  his  removal  to  Dedham.  This  latter  property 
was  bounded  on  the  north  by  the  Cambridge  line  and  the  property  of  J.  Coolidge; 
south  by  the  highway  (Pond  Road) ;  west  by  land  of  J.  Coolidge,  and  east  by  that 
of  B.  Bullard.  The  total  amount  of  his  real  estate  was  227  acres.  He  was  a  man 
of  standing  in  the  community  and  early  held  office.     In   1639  he  was  elected  a

m.  2d  in  Wenham,  June  4,  1660,  Elizabeth  Easterick.  Phineas  Fiske,  a  freeman 
in  Wenham,  1642,  one  of  the  first  settlers,  and  until  his  death  a  leading  citizen  of 
that  town,  was  the  youngest  son  of  Thomas  Fiske.  of  England,  and  a  grandson 
of  Robert  and  Sybil  (Gould)  Fiske,  of  Laxfield,  County  of  Suffolk.  He  was  a 
captain  of  the  militia  in  Wenham,  and  constable  in  1644;  Representative  to  the 
General  Court  in  1653;  appointed  "Commissioner  to  end  small  causes" — probably 
a  Justice — in  1654;  and  his  estate  was  settled  upon  his  decease  in  1673.  Phineas 
Fiske  (sometimes  spelled  Phinehas)  was  twice  married.  His  first  wife,  Sarab, 
and  mother  of  his  children,  died  in  1659;  and  in  1660  he  married  Elizabeth  Easter- 
ick. His  will — the  first  of  the  Fiskes  found  on  the  I'ecords — was  made  in 
March  and  proved  in  June  of  1673,  in  which  mention  is  made  of  sons  James, 
John  and  Thomas  Fiske,  but  not  of  wife  (perhaps  deceased)  or  daughters. 
Among  his  legatees  were  "nephews  Samuel,  who  was  to  have  his  great  Bible, 
and  Mark  Fiske."  All  of  the  foregoing  were  evidently  born  in  England  some 
years  before  emigration,  for  son  James  was  freeman  same  year  with  his  father 
(1642),  and  Thomas,  the  youngest,  according  to  a  certain  deposition,  was  at  tint 
time  about  twelve  j^ears  old.  The  family  most  probably  came  out  in  company 
with  their  relatives,  Rev.  John  and  William  Fiske,  as  their  names  appear  simul- 
taneously (in  1641)  on  the  records  of  Salem  Church. 

Wenham,  Massachusetts,  where  he  resided,  was  the  last  of  the  seven  towns 
in  Essex  County  that  was  set  off  from  Salem,  and  is  situated  about  twenty-two 
miles  northeast  of  Boston.  The  general  surface  of  the  country  is  level,  the  soil 
fruitful,  well  watered  and  productive.  In  olden  times  the  village  of  Wenham 
was  recorded  as  remarkable  for  its  quiet  arcadian  beauty,  and  its  principal  lake

in  1643.  Its  settlers  and  principal  inhabitants,  like  'hose  of  the  most  of  the  older 
towns,  were  Puritans,  taken  from  the  great  middle  class  of  Englishmen  who  have 
always  been  the  backbone  of  the  nation.  Intelligent,  religious,  hardy  and  in- 
dustrious, they  were  undoubtedly  the  best  as  to  character  of  any  emigrants  ever 
brought  to  this  country.  Their  influence  in  shaping  the  destiny  of  the  nation  is 
apparent  in  the  high  rank  JNIassachusetts  has  always  taken  among  her  sister 
states.  From  the  Wenham  town  records  it  is  learned  that  "Phineas  Fisk  was 
the  first  constable,  and  he,  with  Charles  Gott  and  John  Fisk,  constituted  the  first 
board  of  selectmen;  Wm.  Fisk  was  town  clerk."  Capt.  Phinehas  was  repre- 
sentative to  the  general  court  in  1653.  His  will  was  proved  June  26,  1673.  One 
witness  was  Samuel  Fisk.  Legatees  son  James  to  have  one-half  the  house  and 
land,  sons  John  and  Thomas  to  have  the  remainder,  nephew  Samuel  to  have  his 
great  Bible,  and  Mark  Fisk  some  articles  of  bedding  (above  from  Salem  court 
records).     He  d.  June  7,  1673;  res.  England,  Salem  and  Wenham,  Mass.

The  earliest  of  the  Wenham  town  records  extant  is  a  grant  of  twenty  acres 
of  land  to  the  town,  one-half  of  it  by  Mr.  Smith,  on  one  side  of  the  meeting  house, 
and  the  other  half  by  Mr.  John  Fisk,  on  the  other  side  of  it.  This  grant,  which  was 
made  March  2,  1642,  appears  to  have  been  divided  into  two-acre  lots,  which  were 
given  to  actual  settleii  on  condition  of  building  upon  them  dwellings  for  them- 
selves and  their  families.  But  in  case  that  any  such  should  wish  to  remove  from 
the  village  they  were  required  to  oft'er  their  places  for  sale  first  to  "the  Plantation." 
The  object  of  this  arrangement  was  to  encourage  actual  settlers,  and  also  to  form 
a  village  about  the  middle  of  the  town.  From  these  votes  it  appears  that  a  meet- 
ing house,  at  least  a  temporary  one,  had  already  been  built.  It  is  supposed  to  have 
stood  on  or  near  the  spot  occupied  by  that  built  in  1664,  viz.,  upon  the  eminence 
near  the  house  at  one  time  belonging  to  Mr.  Henry  Tarr. 

There  cannot  be  a  doubt  that  John  is  the  "Mr.  John  Fiske"  who  was  made  a 
freeman  at  a  court  held  in  March,  1637-8  (Savage's  Winthrop,  Vol.  2,  p.  367). 
Mather  says  that  he  was  "the  elder  brother,"  and  that  he  died  Jan.  14,  1676. 
His  wife  was  Ann  Gipps,  of  Frinshall,  in  Norfolk.  They  had  a  child,  who  was 
born  at  Frinshall,  but  died  in  infancy.  A  son,  Nathaniel,  died  an  infant.  Three 
other  children,  John,  Sarah  and  Closes,  were  born  in  New  England,  and  here 
Candler's  account  in  his  manuscript  in  the  British  Museum  of  this  branch  of 
family  ends. 

Rev.  John  Fiske  (by  Cotton  Mather).  Among  the  writers  of  the  Gospel  with 
which  the  primitive  church  was  blessed  was  "Luke,  the  beloved  Physician,"  of 
whom  Jerom  elegantly  says  that  as  the  Apostles  from  fishers  of  fish  became 
fishers  of  men;  so  from  a  physician  of  bodies  Luke  was  made  a  physician  of  souls; 
and  as  his  book  is  read  in  the  church  his  medicine  will  not  cease.  So  among  the 
first  preachers  who  rendered  the  primitive  times  of  New  England  happy,  there 
was  one  who  might  likewise  be  called  a  "beloved  physician,"  one  to  whom  there 
might  also  be  given  the  eulogy  which  the  ancients  think  was  given  to  Luke,  a 
brother  whose  praise  was  the  gospel  throughout  all  the  churches.  This  was  Mr. 
John  Fiske.  Mr.  Fiske  was  born  in  the  Parish  of  St.  James,  in  the  County  of 
Suffolk,  England,  about  the  year  1601,  of  pious  parents.  His  grandparents  and 
great-grandparents  were  eminently  zealous  in  the  true  religion.  In  the  reign  of 
Queen  Mary,  of  six  brothers  of  this  name,  three  were  Papists  and  three  were 
Protestants.     Tw'o  of  the  latter  were  grievously  persecuted.     The  one  from  whom

John,  the  subject  of  this  memoir,  descended,  was,  to  avoid  burning,  hid  many 
months  in  a  wood  pile  and  afterward  half  a  year  in  a  cellar,  where  he  wrought  by 
candle  light  at  manufactures  and  remained  undiscovered.  But  his  many  hardships 
brought  on  excessive  bleeding,  which  shortened  his  days  and  added  to  "the  cry 
of  the  souls  under  the  altar."  John  was  the  eldest  of  four  children,  who  all  came 
with  him  to  New  England  and  left  posterity  with  whom  God  established  His  Holy 
Covenant.  His  parents  having  devoted  him  to  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  sent  him 
first  to  a  grammar  school  at  a  distance  of  two  miles  from  their  abode.  Being 
there  fitted  for  the  university,  he  was  sent  to  Immanuel  College,  Cambridge, 
where  he  resided  until  he  took  his  first  degree.  Having  spent  some  considerable 
time  in  preparatory  studies  he  entered  upon  the  work  to  which  he  had  been  de- 
voted and  which  was  his  favorite  object,  the  preaching  of  the  Gospel.  In  this 
pursuit  he  would  have  continued  had  not  Satan  hindered  him.  The  conformity 
act  was  odious  to  him.  Its  friends  and  supporters  "breathed  out  slanders  and  the 
silencers  pressed  so  hard  upon  him  for  his  non-conformity,  that  upon  the  advice 
of  his  friends  he  relinquished  the  ministry  and  turned  his  attention  to  the  study  of 
physics.  After  a  thorough  examination  he  obtained  license  for  public  practice. 
At  the  age  of  28  years  he  married  a  virtuous  and  amiable  woman,  who  did  him 
good  and  not  evil  all  her  days.  She  was  the  sharer  and  soother  of  all  his  tribula- 
tions until  about  three  years  before  his  death,  when  she  left  him  to  go  to  be  with 
Christ.  In  1633  his  father  died  and  left  him  in  charge  of  his  mother,  two  sisters 
and  yoimger  brother.  This  event  dissolved  the  strongest  ties  that  bound  him  to 
his  native  soil  and  removed  every  obstruction  that  seemed  to  be  in  the  way  to  the 
engagement  of  his  favorite  pursuit.  He  resolved  on  going  to  New  England,  where 
he  saw  an  opportunity  for  the  quiet  exercise  of  his  ministry.  He  went  on  board  a 
ship  in  disguise  to  avoid  the  fury  of  his  persecutors.  After  they  had  passed  the 
land's  end,  he  entertained  the  passengers  with  two  sermons  a  day,  besides  other 
agreeable  discourses  and  devotional  exercises,  which  filled  the  voyage  with  so  much 
religion  that  one  of  the  passengers  being  examined  about  his  trying  to  divert 
himself  with  a  hook  and  line  on  the  Lord's  daj'',  protested  that  he  did  not  know 
when  the  Lord's  day  was;  he  thought  every  day  was  a  Sabbath  day,  for  they  did 
nothing  but  pray  and  preach  all  the  week  long.  Mr.  Fiske  arrived  in  New  Eng- 
land in  the  year  1637.  His  aged  mother  died  quickly  after  he  came  on  board,  and 
his  only  infant  quickly  after  he  came  on  shore.  He  came  well  stocked  with  ser- 
vants and  all  sorts  of  tools  for  husbandry  and  carpentry,  and  with  provisions  to 
support  his  family  in  a  wilderness  three  years;  out  of  which  he  charitably  let  a  con- 
siderable quantity  to  the  country,  which  he  then  found  in  the  distresses  of  a  war 
with  the  Pequot  Indians. 

The  most  prominent  name  among  the  first  settlers  of  the  town  of  Wenham 
was  that  of  Fisk.  Rev.  John  Fisk,  who  came  from  the  County  of  Suffolk,  in 
England,  was  the  first  minister  of  the  place.  As  the  parish  of  Wenham,  in  Eng- 
land, lies  in  the  same  county,  it  is  not  unlikely  that  the  name  of  the  town  was 
taken  from  the  original  residence  of  this  family.  Rev.  Mr.  Fisk,  after  a  residence 
of  twelve  years  in  Wenham,  removed  to  Chelmsford,  where  he  died.  Besides 
him,  three  others  of  the  name  of  Fisk  were  among  the  original  settlers,  and  did 
not  leave  with  the  colony  that  removed  to  Chelmsford.  They  appear  to  have 
been  men  of  property,  and  acted  an  important  part  in  the  infant  settlement.  Capt. 
Phineas  and  John  Fisk  were  two  of  the  first  board  of  selectmen,  and  Hon.  Wm. 
Fisk  was  the  first  town  clerk.  From  the  frequency  with  which  the  name  occurs 
in  the  early  records  of  baptisms,  the  descendants  of  the  family  appear  to  have 
been  numerous,  and  for  an  hundred  years  or  more  they  acted  a  prominent  part 
in  town  affairs.  Three  of  them,  at  different  periods,  held  the  oiilice  of  deacon  of 
the  cluirch.  Out  of  thirty-five  times  that  the  town  sent  a  deputy  to  the  General 
Court,  before  1720,  it  was  represented  twenty  times  by  some  one  of  this  name. 
The  first  schoolmaster  and  the  first  commander  of  the  militia,  appointed  in  Wen- 
ham, was  Capt.  Thomas  Fisk,  who,  for  a  period  of  twenty  or  thirty  years,  appears 
to  have  been  the  most  important  man  in  the  town.  As  early  as  1655  he  was  ap- 
pointed town  clerk,  and  two-pence  granted  to  him  for  every  order  he  should 
record.  The  first  book  of  the  town  records  is  mostly  in  his  hand-writing,  which 
is  not  quite  as  legible  as  that  of  the  best  writing  masters.  He  was  a  prominent 
actor  in  the  series  of  measures  which  resulted  in  the  division  of  the  common 
lands.  There  continued  to  be  several  of  the  name  in  the  place  until  the  latter 
part  of  the  last  century,   when  it  was  reduced  to  a  single  family.     Several  farms 


54  FISKE  GENEALOGY. 

have  been  at  different  times  in  possession  of  the  family.  The  place,  however, 
where  they  lived  longest,  and  which  is  the  most  identified  with  their  name,  was 
on  a  lane  leading  from  the  Ober  place  (so-called)  towards  Wenham  causeway. 
An  old  cellar  alone  remanis  to  mark  the  spot,  where  generations  lived,  labored, 
and  passed  away. 

The  next  year,  Mr.  John  Fisk,  who  had  taught  the  first  grammar  school 
established  in  Salem,  and  while  thus  engaged  had  occasionally  assisted  Mr.  Peters 
in  his  ministerial  labors,  removed  to  Wenham,  and  through  his  efforts  a  church 
was  regularly  organi;:ed  on  the  8th  of  October,  1644.  He  at  once  became  its  pas- 
tor, and  continued  his  labors  in  the  town  till  1656,  apparently  much  to  the  satis- 
faction of  the  people.  To  the  duties  of  the  pastor  he  added  those  of  physician,  bO 
that  Cotton  Mather  remarks  concerning  him:  "Among  the  most  famous  preachers 
and  writers  of  the  gor.pel,  with  whom  the  primitive  church  was  blessed,  there  was 
Luke,  the  beloved  physician,  the  blessed  scholar  and  colleague  of  the  Apostle 
Paul."        . 

I'his  appears  like  higii  eulogy,  but  for  the  times  in  which  he  lived,  Mr.  Fisk 
was  evidently  a  superior  man.  He  was  descended  from  pious  ancestry,  and  was 
early  devoted  to  the  service  of  Christ  and  the  church.  His  parents,  after  carefully 
instructing  him  at  home,  sent  him  to  the  giammar  school  and  afterwards  to  the 
university.  He  graduated  at  Lnmanuel  College,  Cambridge,  and  after  studying 
theology  was  engaged  for  several  years  in  the  work  of  the  ministrj'.  In  conse- 
quence, however,  of  the  persecution  then  carried  on  against  the  Puritans  and  the 
difficulties  and  annoj^ances  in  the  way  of  preaching,  in  accordance  with  the  advice 
of  his  friends,  he  turned  his  attention  to  medicine,  and  obtained  the  usual  license 
to  practice  as  a  physician.  Yet  he  was  still  so  desirous  to  resume  the  labors  of 
the  ministry  that  he  determined  to  remove  to  America.  He  had  previously  mar- 
ried a  lady  of  high  rank  and  uncommon  worth.  To  her  parents  his  purpose  to 
come  to  America  was  so  disagreeable  that  they  resolved  to  deprive  him  of  several 
hundred  pounds,  which  were  the  just  share  of  his  wife  in  her  father's  estate.  At 
the  call  of  duty,  however,  he  did  not  hesitate  to  sacrifice  property  and  all  the  en- 
dearments of  home  and  kindred.  Disguising  himself  to  escape  the  fury  of  his 
persecutors,  he  embarked,  in  company  with  the  Rev.  John  Allen,  afterwards  the 
first  minister  of  Dedham. 

After  arriving  in  this  country,  Mr.  Fisk  appears  to  have  taught  some  years 
in  Cambridge,  and  afterwards  in  Salem.  Of  his  services  in  the  latter  city,  the 
Mayor  of  Salem,  in  a  public  address  in  1842  says:  "'We  may  all  be  proud  of  the 
honest  fame  of  the  first  teacher  of  our  grammar  school.  He  was,  by  the  concur- 
rent testimony  of  the  most  learned  and  honored  of  his  day  and  generation, 
ranked  high  in  the  list  of  able,  useful  and  devoted  ministers  of  the  gospel.  One 
of  his  scholars  was  Sir  George  Downing,  who  was  a  member  of  the  first  class 
that  graduated  at  Harvard  College,  and  who  was  afterwards  minister  for  Crom- 
well and  Charles  H.  j.t  The  Hague."  His  pupils,  it  is  said,  were  fitted  "to  read 
any  classical  authors  into  English,  and  readily  make  and  speak  true  Latin,  and 
write  it  in  verse  as  well  as  prose,  and  perfectly  to  decline  the  paradigms  of  nouns 
and  verbs  in  the  Greek  tongue." 

Preferring,  however,  the  w^ork  of  the  ministry  to  the  labors  of  the  teacher, 
he  gave  up  his  school  in  1643,  and,  removing  to  Wenham,  joined  his  fortunes  to 
those  of  the  infant  plantation.  Upon  what  salary  he  was  settled  we  have  no 
means  of  ascertaining.  A  piece  of  land  appears  to  have  been  granted  to  him, 
and  in  addition  to  this,  he  had  probably  such  contributions  as  the  people  were 
able  to  raise.  It  is  stated  that  "he  drew  largely  upon  his  own  estate  for  the  ben- 
efit of  the  new  plantation."  (In  164J  he  gave  ten  acres  of  land  for  the  benefit  of 
the  church  and  society).  In  1654  it  was  voted  by  the  town  that  "the  yearly  main- 
tenance of  our  minister  shall  bee  fortie  pounds  a  year,  whether  Mr.  Fisk  stay 
among  us,  or  we  procure  another;"  and  again,  that  "Mr.  Gott,  James  Moulton 
and  John  Fisk  are  chosen  to  go  to  Mr.  Miller,  to  give  him  a  call  in  case  Mr.  Fisk 
leaveth  us."  December,  1655,  it  was  ordered  "that  in  case  Mr.  Brock  be  secured 
to  stay  amongst  us,  whatsoever  the  town  hath  engaged,  or  shall  be  levied  on  any 
land,  shall  be  paid,  two-thirds  part  in  wheat,  barley  or  peas,  butter  or  pork,  and 
the  other  third  part  in  Indian  corn."  In  consequence  of  the  extreme  scarcity  of 
money,  taxes  and  contributions  were  very  generally  paid  in  produce.  According 
to  the  expenses  of  living  and  the  means  of  the  people,  £40  a  year  would  seem  to 
be  full  as  large  a  salary  as  is  now  usually  paid  in  country  towns. 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  55 


From  the  previoDS  votes,  it  appears  that  Mr.  Fisk  had  already  formed  the 
purpose  of  leavmg  Wcnham.  He  remained,  however,  till  1656,  when,  with  a  ma- 
jority of  the  church,  ne  removed  to  Chelmsford,  where  he  lived  for  twenty  years, 
discharging  the  duties  at  once  of  the  minister  and  the  physician.  "For  twenty 
years,"  says  Cotton  Mather,  "did  he  shine  in  the  golden  candlestick  of  Chelms- 
ford, a  plam,  but  an  able,  powerful  and  useful  preacher  of  the  gospel,  rarely,  if 
ever,  by  sickness  hindered  from  the  exercise  of  his  ministry."  He  died  m  his  new 
field  of  labor  in  1676,  at  the  advanced  age  of  75. 

Rev.  W.  Allen,  in  his  history  of  Chelmsford,  has  given  high  testimony  to  the 

value  of  Mr.  Fisk's  labors  in  that  town.     The  trials  and  hardships  which  he  was 

there  called  to  endure,  might  have  disheartened  youthful  vigor,  but  were  borne 

\  with  fortitude  and  even  cheerfulness.     For  the  use  of  his  flock,  he  wrote  a  cate- 

•  chism  entitled,   "Watering  of  the   Olive  Plants  in   Christ's   Garden."     This  little 

\  work  IS  moderate  m   doctrine,   catholic  in  spirit,  and  admirably  designed."     His 

)  epitaph  in  Latin  is  as  iollows:     "vixi  et  quem  dederas  cursum  mihi  Christe  peregi, 

'  pertaesus  vitae,  snaviter  opto  mori."     (I  have  lived  and  finished  the  work  which 

Thou,  Saviour,  didst  give  me;  weary  of  life,  I  long  to  depart  in  peace.) 

.  Rev.  John  Fiske,  of  Chelmsford,  made  his  will  June  18,  1674,  which  was  proved 
by  Samuel  Foster,  Sr.  and  Jr.,  Feb.  22.  1676.  The  other  witness  was  Edward 
Spalding.  The  inventory  of  the  estate  was  taken  2,  11.  1676  by  Samuel  Adams, 
Samuel  Foster,  Sr.,  and  Abraham  Parker.  £703-3-10,  made  oath  to  by  his  son

testator,  had  built  a  house  for  him;  meadow  purchased  of  Capt.  James  Parker;

household  goods,  also  "bees."  He  gave  to  son  John,  who  was  the  eldest  son,  and 
at  that  time  had  wife  Lydia  had  a  certain  legacy  which  if  they  deceased  leaving  no 
children,  one-half  of  it  was  to  go  to  son  Moses  and  one-half  to  daughters  Sarah 
Martha  Burton  and  Anne  Thompson,  who  were  then  of  Salem,  and  each  a  legacy, 
from  Mr.  John  Evered,  alias  Web.  deceased.  She  was  the  youngest  daughter,  also 
unmarried,  and  Moses,  her  brother,  was  to  be  her  guardian. 

Daughter  Sarah  was  then  the  wife  of  John  Farwell,  of  Concord,  but  at  that 
time,  it  seems,  had  no  children. 

Brother  William,  late  of  Wenham,  deceased,  left  William  for  his  eldest  son

164.  HON.  WILLIAM  FISKE  (John,  William,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  Wil- 
liam, Symond),  b.  England,  about  1613;  m.  at  Salem,  1643,  Bridgett  Muskett  of 
Pelham,  England.  After  his  death  she  m.  2d,  Nov.  3,  1661,  Thomas  Rix  of  Salem, 
surgeon.  They  had  one  child,  Theophilus,  b.  Aug.  20,  1665.  "William,  the  other 
son  of  John  senior,  and  brother  of  John  junior,  who  emigrated,  is  probably  the 
William  Fiske,  who,  in  1642,  was  admitted  a  freeman."  (Candler's  Manuscript  in 
the  British  Museum.)  I  shall  now  forbear  special  reference  to  Mr.  Savage's  vol- 
ume of  these  admissions.  William  died  in  New  England  in  1654.  He  married 
Bridgett  Muskett  of  Pelham,  by  whom  he  had  William,  Samuel,  Joseph,  Benjanun 
and  Martha.  William  Fiske  was  of  Salem  in  1637,  which  year  he  arrived  from 
England  and  was  brother,  of  Rev.  John,  with  whom  he  came  over.  He  had  a 
grant  of  land  that  year  and  was  made  freeman  May  18,  1642,  and  member  of  the 
Salem  church  July  2,  1641.  Soon  after  he  removed  to  Wenham,  where  he  was 
the  first  town  clerk  or  clerk  of  the  writs,  from  1643  to  1660.  In  the  Colonial  Record 
is  a  settlement  of  rights  between  William  and  his  brother  John,  by  which  it  seems 
he  was  under  24  years  of  age  in  Sept.,  1638.  Endicott,  Hathorne,  and  two  others 
of  the  men  of  Salem  made  the  terms  of  agreement.  He  was  elected  representative 
to  the  General  Court  of  the  Commonwealth  in  1647  and  continued  in  that  office 
until  the  year  1652,  being  annually  re-elected.  He  enjoyed  to  a  large  extent  the 
esteem  and  confidence  of  his  fellow  citizens.  He  died  quite  suddenly  in  1654,  having 
served  his  townsmen  in  all  the  of^ces  in  the  town.  He  died  intestate,  prob- 
ably his  death  was  caused  by  some  disease.  Letters  of  administration  were  granted 
by  the  court  to  "Widow  Bridget  Fiske  July  16,  1654,  and  provision  made  for  the 
children,  viz.:  Wm.,  Samuel,  Joseph,  Benjamin  and  Martha.  There  are  no  rec- 
ords of  births  in  Wenham  prior  to  1686. 

In  1643,  according  to  the  Wenham  town  records,  Wm.  Fisk  received  liberty 
from  the  General  Court  to  keep  an  ordinary  (public  house),  and  in  1646  was 
licensed  "to  sell  wine  and  strong  water;"  which  privileges  were  a  few  years  later 
transferred  to  Phineas  Fisk.  One  of  the  appraisers  of  his  property  was  Phinehas 
Fisk  and  one  of  the  items  was  a  "sign  with  the  sign  post."

band was  probably  the  Martin  Underwood  who  had  his  free-

her  marke  March  3,  171 7. 

Seaborn  Fiske,  only  surviving  daughter  and  heir  of  Mr.  Theophilus  Wilson,

father.  Oct.  6,  1663,  the  court  allowed  him  los.  each  for  seven  wolf's  whelps 
heads. 

David,  says  Paige,  in  his  History  of  Cambridge,  rem.  from  Watertown  to 
Camb.  about  1646,  and  i^es.  on  the  northerly  side  of  Linnaean  street,  near  the 
Botanic  Garden,  which  estate  he  sold  to  Joseph  Daniel  13  Dec.  1660,  and  prob. 
rem.  to  the  Farms  (Lex.)  about  the  same  time.  He  was  a  wheelwright,  but  much 
employed  in  public  service,  especially  as  a  surveyor  of  lands.  He  was  Selectman 
1688,  and  Representative  in  the  critical  period  of  1689.  He  was  one  of  the  most 
prominent  men  in  the  settlement  at  the  Farms;  precinct  clerk  and  assessor;  the 
first  subscriber  for  erecting  a  meeting  house  there,  and  the  first  named  member 
of  the  Church.  In  1675  the  work  of  settlement  at  Worcester  was  prosecuted  with 
vigor,  about  the  middle  of  April  surveys  were  made  of  the  lands  by  David  Fiske, 
of  Cambridge.  Partial  surveys  were  made  in  May,  1685  (at  Worcester),  a  lot 
was  laid  out  for  Gookin  of  100  acres  on  the  east  side  of  Pakachoag  Hill  and  an- 
other lot  of-  80  acres  on  Raccoon  Plain.  There  were  present  at  this  time  David 
Fiske,  the  surveyor,  and  others.     [History  of  Worcester.] 

"David  Fiske,"  says  Hudson,  in  his  Hist,  of  Lex.,  "was  not  only  one  of  the 
first  settlers,  but  became  one  of  the  most  prominent  and  useful  men  in  the  pre- 
cinct. He  headed  the  subscription  for  a  meeting  house  in  1692,  and  on  the  organ- 
ization of  the  parish  the  year  after,  he  was  chosen  clerk,  and  one  of  the  selectmen 
or  assessors.  He  was  also  chosen  chairman  of  a  committee  to  purchase  of  the 
town  of  Camb.  a  lot  of  land  for  the  support  of  the  ministry.  These  and  other 
similar  olifices  he  frequently  held  under  the  Parish.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the 
church  organized  in  1696,  and  his  wife  immediately  after  removed  hei  relation 
from  the  church  in  Camb.  to  the  church  gathered  in  the  precinct.  He  not  only 
served  his  fellow-citizens  in  a  civil  and  religious,  but  also  in  a  military  capacity, 
as  appears  by  the  prefix  Lieut.,  which  is  often  in  the  records  connected  with  his 
name.  He  was  often  employed  by  the  colony  as  a  surveyor.  He  resided  on  Han- 
cock St."  A  handsome  monument  was  erected  in  1856  by  Benj.  Fiske,  Esq.,  with 
this  inscription: 

111  memory  of  David  Fisko,  who  (tied  Feb.  14,  1710,  and  bis  descendants.

173.     SERGT.  JAMES  FISKE  (Phinehas,  Thomas,   Robert,  Simon,   Simon, 

William,   Symond),  b.   Sufi'olk  Co.,   England,  ;     m.   Anna  ;     m.  2d 

Hannah  Pike.  James  Fiske,  Sr.,  eldest  son  of  Phineas,  was  born  in  England, 
emigrated  in  1637,  joined  Salem  Church  1642,  was  same  year  freeman,  and  shortly 
after  the  family  were  established  in  Wenham,  he  removed  to  Haverhill,  Mass., 
where  he  had  several  grants  of  land,  the  first  being  m  1646.  He  was  a  number  of 
times  a  Selectman  in  Haverhill. 

In  the  general  division  of  lands,  in  1661,  James  Fiske  does  not  appear 
among  the  grantees;  had  probably  then  removed,  as  in  1669  he  was  one  of  a 
committee  in  Chelmsford  appointed  "to  lay  the  land  northerly  of  Groton,"  in 
which  latter  place  he  died.  .  In  his  will  in  the  Middlesex  probate  office  dated  June 
14,  1689,  proved  July  26,  1689,  all  of  the  above  children,  save  Ann  and  James,  are 
mentioned  as  legatees,  but  other  parties  were  executors.  James  Fiske,  and  Samuel 
Fiske,  who  appear  on  Groton  records  as  heads  of  families — the  first  m  1690,  the 
latter  in  1704 — were  sons  of  the  above.  Among  the  descendants  of  Samuel,  in  the 
third  and  fourth  generations,  may  be  mentioned  Hon.  Levi  Fiske,  of  Jaffrey,  and 
Hoa.  Thomas  Fiske,  of  Dublin,  N.  H.,  the  former  a  State  Senator,  1835-6;  the 
latter,  1859-60. 

The  following  data  relative  to  James  Fiske  while  residing  in  Haverhill  is  taken 
from  the  town  records:     Attending  town  meetings  was  evidently  considered  by 


60  FISKE  GENEALOGY. 


our  ancestors  as  a  duty  each  voter  owed  to  the  community  in  which  he  lived, 
and  for  the  neglect  of  which  he  deserved  punishment.  They  even  considered, 
tardiness  in  attending  as  meriting  rebuke,  as  we  find  by  the  record  of  Feb.  13,  1647, 
that  John  Ayer,  Sr.,  and  James  Fiske  were  fined  "for  not  attending  the  town  meet- 
ing in  season." 

Considerable  land  was  this  year  granted  to  individuals  west  of  Little  River, 
on  the  Merrimack,  and  among  others  James  Fiske  had  liberty  to  lay  down  his 
land  in  the  plain,  "and  have  it  laid  out  over  Little  River,  Westward." 

It  was  voted  this  year  by  the  town  "that  all  the  meadows  shall  be  laid  out  by 
the  I2th  of  June  next,  to  each  man  his  proportion  according  to  his  house  lot." 
At  the  same  meeting  it  was  "ordered  that  a  committee,  of  which  James  Fiske 
was  one,  shall  view  the  upland  that  is  fit  to  plough,  by  the  last  of  March  or  the 
tenth  of  April  next,  and  that  they  bring  in  their  intelligence  to  the  town  by  that 
time."  It  was  also  ordered  "that  all  the  undivided  land,  after  all  the  meadows 
and  second  division  of  plough  land  is  laid  out.  shall  remain  to  the  same  inhabit- 
ants the  proprietors  of  the  three  hundred  and  six  acres,  to  every  one  according  to 
honest  and  true  meaning,  all  commons  remaining  in  general  to  them." 

James  Fiske  and  Anne,  his  wyfe,  of  Haverhill,  for  100  pounds,  sold  to  Rev. 
John  Ward,  of  Haverhill,  Nov.  22,  1659.  a  Dwelling  house  and  house  lot  of  nine 
acres  in  Haverhill,  bounded  by  land  of  Richard  Littlehale  on  the  west,  by  Mr. 
Ward's  on  the  east  and  south,  by  Michael  Emerson  on  the  north,  etc.,  also  five 
acres  of  planting  land  in  the  Playne,  bounded  on  the  south  by  Merrimack  river 
and  north  by  the  common,  etc. ;  two  acres  of  east  meadow,  bounded  on  the  east 
by  a  river;  two  acres  of  west  meadow,  with  commonages,  etc. 

Following  are  the  names  of  those  who  received  a  share  in  this  division:  "The 
lots  or  draughts  for  the  second  division  of  plough  land,  with  the  number  of  each 
man's  accommodation:     John  Fiske,  four  acres. 

Among  the  noteworthy  incidents  may  be  mentioned  the  case  of  Robert  Pike, 
of  Salisbury.  The  court  had  prohibited  Joseph  Peasley  and  Thomas  Macy,  of  Sal- 
isbury, from  exhorting  the  people  on  the  Sabbath,  in  the  absence  of  a  minister. 
Pike  declared  that  "such  persons  as  did  act  in  making  that  law,  did  break  their 
oath  to  the  country,  for  it  is  against  the  liberty  of  the  country, 
both  civil  and  ecclesiastical."  For  expressing  himself  in  this  manner, 
he  was  disfranchised  by  the  General  Court,  and  heavily  fined.  At  the 
next  May  Court,  a  petition  was  presented  from  a  large  number  of  the  inhabitants 
of  Hampton,  Salisbury,  Newbury,  Haverhill  and  Andover.  praying  that  Pike's 
sentence  might  be  revoked.  Among  the  names  of  the  Haverhill  signers,  as  copied 
from  the  original  petition  in  the  State  Archives,  is  that  of  James  Fiske. 

The  lots  in  the  fifth  division  of  land  were  drawn  Nov.  20,  1721,  and  it  shows 
who,  or  rather  whose  representatives,  were  the  commoners  at  this  time.  James 
Fisk  is  the  forty-second  in  the  list  of  fifty.  They  were  the  heirs  and  assigns  of  the 
original  purchasers,  and  were  at  this  time  considered  to  be  the  proprietors  of  the 
undivided  lands  in  the  town.     (P.  257,  Hist,  of  Haverhill.) 

From  the  Groton  records  are  found  the  following  entries: 

Due  to  James  ffisk  &  Joh.  Nuttin  twenty  shillings  for  laying  out  the  hie-way 
to  Chelmsford  when  they  haue  perfeted  the  work  wh.  they  promise  to  doe  as  soone

James  Fisk,  the  second  town  clerk,  was  an  original  proprietor  of  Groton,  and 
the  owner  of  a  twenty-acre  right.  He  wrote  a  good  hand,  and  held  the  office 
during  one  year. 

At  a  town  meeting  held  6th  May,  1667.  The  towne  hauing  another  meeting

John  Prescott:  for  to  build  the  towne  a  mill;  namely  the  500  acres  of  vpland  and 
twenty  of  meadow  together  with  the  mill  should  be  freed  from  all  towns  charges 
whatsoeuer  for  the  space  of  twenty  years:  and  this  was  the  vaote  of  the  major 
part  of  the  town  that  was  present  at  this  meeting:  fouer  men  manifested  their 
Descent  at  y  time  one  of  whom  was  James  Fisk.

Waite,  Elizabeth  and  Remember.  He  was  familiarly  known  as  "John,  the  Con-

Fairfield  in  1646,  also  to  will  of  Christ.  Yongs  in  1647,  and  in  1679  a  John  Fiske

ing  from  the  Enemj',  informed  that  a  confiderable  body  of  Indians  had  (30)  feated 
themfelves  not  far  from  Pacomtuck,  and  that  they  were  very  fecure:  fo  that  fhould 
Forces  be  fent  forth  against  them,  many  of  the  Enemy  would  (in  probabiUty)  be 
cut  ofif,  without  any  difficulty.  Hereupon  the  Spirits  of  Men  in  thofe  Towns  were 
raifed  with  an  earneft  defire  to  fee  and  to  try  what  might  be  done.  They  fent  to 
their  neighbors  in  Conn,  for  a  fupply  of  men,  but  none  coming,  they  raifed  about 
an  hundred  and  four  fcore  out  of  their  onw  towns,  who  arrived  at  the  Indian  Wig- 
wams betimes  in  the  morning,  finding  them  fecure  indeed,  yea  all  afleep  without 
having  any  Scouts  abroad,  fo  that  our  Souldiers  came  and  put  their  Guns  into  their 
Wigwams,  before  the  Indians  were  aware  of  them,  and  made  a  great  and  notable 
flaughter  amongft  them.  Some  of  the  souldiers  affirm,  that  they  numbred  above 
one  hundred  that  lay  dead  upon  the  ground,  and  befides  thofe,  others  told  about 
an  hundred  and  thirty,  who  were  driven  into  the  River,  and  there  perifhed,  being 
carried  down  the  Falls.  The  River  Kifhon  swept  them  away,  that  ancient  river, 
the  river  Kifhon,  O  my  foul  thou  haft  troden  down  ftrength.  And  all  this  while 
but  one  Englifh-man  killed,  and  two  wounded.  But  God  faw  that  if 'things  had 
ended  thus,  another  and  not  Chrift  would  have  had  the  Glory  of  this  Victory,  and 
therefore  in  his  wife  providence,  he  fo  difpofed,  as  that  there  was  at  laft  fomewhat 
a  tragical  iffue  of  this  expedition.  For  an  Englifh  Captive  Lad  who  was  found 
in  the  wigwams  fpake  as  if  Philip  were  coming  with  a  thoufand  Indians  which  falfe 
report  being  famed  (Fama  bella  ftant)  among  the  Souldiers,  a  pannick  terror  fell 
upon  many  of  them,  and  they  hafted  homewards  in  a  confuted  rout:  In  the  mean 
while  a  party  of  Indians  from  an  Ifland  (whole  coming  on  fhore  might  eafily  have 
been  prevented,  and  the  souldiers  before  they  fet  out  from  Hadly  were  earneftly 
admonifhed  to  take  care  about  that  matter)  affaulted  our  men;  yea,  to  the  great 
difhonor  of  the  Englifh,  a  few  Indians  purfued  our  Souldiers  four  or  five  miles, 
who  v/ere  in  number  near  twice  as  many  as  the  Enemy.  In  this  diforder,  he  that 
was  at  this  time  the  chief  Captain,  whofe  name  was  Turner,  loft  his  life,  he  was 
purfued  through  a  River,  received  his  fatal  ftroke  as  he  paffed  through  that  which 
is  called  the  Green  River,  etc.  as  he  came  out  of  the  Water  he  fell  into  the  hands 
of  the  Uncircumcifed,  who  ftripped  him  (as  fome  who  faw  it  affirm)  and  rode  away 
upon  his  horfe;  and  between  thirty  and  forty  more  were  loft  in  this  Retreat. 

Thefe  Falls  we  once  fuggefted  fhould  have  been  named  Maffacre  Falls:  but  in 
all  recent  geographies  and  hiftories  they  are  known  as  Turner's  Falls,  and  we  heart- 
ily acquiefce  in  thus  defignating  them,  as  it  commemorates  a  brave  and  excellent 
man.  I  do  not  remember  to  have  met  with  an  Indian  name  for  Thefe  Falls.  In 
early  accounts  they  are  called  fimply  The  Falls,  the  Falls  in  the  Conn,  etc.  They 
were  by  fome  called  Miller's  Falls,  as  they  were  not  far  from  Miller's  river;  they 
have  alfo  been  called  Deeriield  Falls." 

The  power  of  the  Indians  was  broken  in  this  battle,  but  the  war  still  continued 
in  a  desultory  manner  for  two  years.  In  these  contests  the  people  of  Wenham 
bore  their  part  in  contributions  of  man  as  well  as  of  money.  The  manner  in  which 
the  state  used  to  pay  the  services  of  its  old  and  faithful  soldiers  may  be  seen  from 
the  following  order  of  the  General  Court,  Mar.  18,  1684:  "In  answer  to  the  peti- 
tion of  John  Fisk,  of  Wenham,  a  sore  wounded  soldier  in  the  late  Indian  war,  and 
thereby  incapacitated  to  get  his  living,  humbly  desiring  the  favor  of  this  honored 
General  Court  (having  the  approbation  of  the  selectmen  of  said  Wenham),  to 
grant  him  a  license  to  keep  a  public  house  of  entertainment,  therewith  freedom 
from  county  rates,  and  also  to  sell  drink  free  from  imposts  and  excises."  Consent 
was  given.

NOTE — Massachusetts  was  divided  into  four  counties  in   1643,   viz.:    Essex, 
Middlesex,  Suffolk  and  Norfolk.     The  last  named,  included  all  the  towns  north 
of  Merrimack   River,   in    Massachusetts,   and   New   Hampshire   as   far  as    Ports- 
mouth at  first;  but  after  the  line  between  Massachusetts  and  New  Hampshire  was

established  what  was  left  in  Massachusetts  was  annexed  to  Essex  County.  Some 
years  later  when  more  counties  were  made  outside  of  Middlesex  and  Suffolk  one 
was  named  Norfolk.  (See  map  of  Massachusetts.)  At  first  records  were  kept  at 
Ipswich  and  at  Salem,  but  now  all  records  of  the  county  are  at  Salem. 

175.     CAPT.  THOMAS  FISKE  (Phinehas,  Thomas,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon, 

William,  Symond),  b.  England  in  1632;  m.  Peggy  .     She  d.,  and  he  m.  2d, 

in  Boston,  by  Rev.  Charles  Morton,  of  Charlestown,  May  14,  1695,  Martha  Fitch, 
of  Boston.  "Thomas  Fiske,  youngest  son  of  Phineas  Fiske,  of  Wenham,  was 
born  in  England  in  1630,  was  a  freeman  in  1661,  and  for  above  forty  years  after- 
ward a  citizen  of  great  influence  in  Wenham.  He  participated  very  largely  in 
public  affairs,  was  repeatedly  a  representative  to  the  General  Court,  and  died  in 
1705,  'the  Patriarch  of  the  town,'  as  he  was  called,  being  in  his  seventy-sixth 
year.  By  wife  Peggy,  he  had  eight  children.  All  the  sons  died  while  young, 
except  the  first,  Thomas."  From  the  Judicial  Court  records  of  Essex  County 
it  is  stated  that,  "The  wife  of  Thomas  Fiske  was  presented  for  wearing  a  tiffany 
hoode,"  and  was  sentenced  to  pay  10  shillings  fine  and  two  shillings  six  pence 
fees  to  the  court  in  Oct.,  1652.  Verily  the  court  must  have  had  a  royalty  on 
another  make  of  "hoodes."  He  came  with  his  father  from  England,  in  his  early 
youth.  He  was  one  of  the  prominent  men  of  the  town  of  Wenham.  Was  repre- 
sentative 1671-72  and  often  after,  especially  in  the  revolutionary  times  of  1689-91. 
Was  captain  of  the  Colony  forces.  Was  foreman  of  the  jury  in  that  sad  case 
of  Rebecca  Nurse,  when  after  a  verdict  of  not  guilty  had  been  given  was  prevailed 
on  to  convict  by  the  wonderful  perversity  and  extraordinary  ignorance  of  the 
court.  His  shocking  confession  against  himself  and  the  judges  is  in  Hutch,  II.,  52, 
Until  1719  one  public  school  sufficed  for  the  inhabitants  of  Wenham,  which  for 
many  years  was  put  under  the  charge  of  Capt.  Thomas  Fiske.  For  the  better 
protection  of  the  community  "a  trained  band"  was  organized.  Thomas  Fiske  was 
captain,  and  William  Fiske,  lieutenant.  The  emolument  to  military  position  in 
those  days  far  exceeded  the  modern  estimate,  for  in  seating  the  congregation  (the 
pew  system  being  not  yet  introduced)  the  officers  of  the  military  next  to  the  dea- 
cons always  had  precedence.  In  1686  the  town  of  Wenham  instructed  Capt. 
Thomas  Fiske  to  keep  a  record  of  births,  marriages  and  deaths,  and  he  began 
this  registration. 

In  169s  Capt.  Thomas  Fisk  was  paid  "for  going  representative,  for  service 
as  an  assessor,  and  a  day  going  to  Ipswich,  £2  9s.,  by  the  town  of 
Wenham.  He  held  every  office  in  the  gift  of  his  fellow  citizens.  Represented 
the  town  in  the  Great  and  General  Court,  1671-72-78-79-80-86-94-97.  Was  moder- 
ator of  the  town  meetings,  1700-04  and  1705;  town  clerk  from  1661  to  1694,  over 
thirty-three  years.  His  age  is  determined  froin  a  deposition  in  regard  to  Joseph 
Axey  willing  property  to  Joseph  Fisk  in  1670.  He  then  calls  himself  about  forty 
years  of  age.  As  stated  above  Capt.  Fiske  was  foreman  of  the  jury  that  tried 
Mrs.  Rebecca  Nurse,  a  respectable  old  lady  in  Salem,  on  the  absurd  charge  of 
being  a  witch.  He  subsequently  made  a  confession,  of  which  the  following  is  a 
copy: 

July  4th,  1692. — I  Thomas  Fisk  the  subscriber  hereof,  being  one  of  them  that 
were  of  the  jury  the  last  week  at  Salem  Court,  upon  the  trial  of  Rebekah  Nurse, 
etc.,  being  desired,  by  some  of  the  relations  to  give  a  reason  why  the  jury  brought 
her  in  guilty,  after  the  verdict  not  guilty;  I  do  hereby  give  my  reasons  to  be  as 
follows,  viz.:  When  the  verdict,  not  guilty,  was  given,  the  honoured  court  was 
pleased  to  object  against  it,  saying  to  them,  that  they  think  they  let  slip  the 
words  which  the  prisoner  at  the  bar  spake  against  herself,  which  were  spoken 
in  reply  to  Goodwife  Hobbs  and  her  dau.  who  had  been  faulty  in  setting  their 
hands  to  the  Devil's  book,  as  they  had  confessed  formerly;  the  words  were, 
"What  do  these  people  give  in  evidence  against  me  now?  They  used  to  come 
among  us?"  After  the  honoured  court  had  manifested  their  dissatisfaction  of  the 
verdict,  several  jury  declared  themselves  desirous  to  go  out  again,  and  thereupon 
the  honoured  court  gave  leave;  but  when  we  came  to  consider  the  case,  I  could 
tell  how  to  take  her  words  as  an  evidence  against  her,  till  she  had  a  further  oppor- 
tunity to  put  her  sense  upon  them,  if  he  would  take;  and  then  going  into  court, 
I  mentioned  the  words  aforesaid,  which  by  one  of  the  court  were  affirmed  to  have 
been  spoken  by  her,  she  being  then  at  the  bar,  but  made  no  reply  nor  interpreta- 
tion of  them;  whereupon  these  words  were  to  me  a  principal  evidence  against  her. 

THOMAS  FISKE. 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  66 

Mrs.  Nurse,  being  informed  of  the  use  which  had  been  made  of  her  words, 
gave  in  a  declaration  to  the  court,  that  "when  she  said  Hobbs  and  her  daughter 
were  of  her  company,  she  meant  no  more  than  that  they  were  prisoners  as  well 
as  herself;  and  that,  being  hard  of  hearing,  she  did  not  know  what  the  foreman  of 
the  jury  said."     But  her  declaration  had  no  effect. 

The  minister  of  Salem,  Mr.  (Nicholas)  Noyes,  was  over  zealous  in  these 
prosecutions.  He  excommunicated  this  honest  old  woman  after  her  condemna- 
tion. One  part  of  the  form  seems  to  have  been  unnecessary;  delivering  her  over 
to  Satan.  He  supposed  she  had  delivered  herself  up  to  him  long  before.  But  her 
life  and  conversation  had  been  such  of  which  many  testimonies  were  given,  that 
the  remembrance  of  it,  as  soon  as  the  people  returned  to  the  use  of  their  reason. 
must  have  wiped  off  all  the  reproach  which  had  been  occasioned  by  the  manner 
of  her  death.

Pleasant  Poond  &  Goodman  Edward  Lummus  was  the  first  one  who  lived  on  Col. 
Saltonstalls  farm. 

Capt.  Thomas  Fiske  of  Wenham  made  his  will  Apr.  24,  1705,  which  was 
proved  Sept.  i,  1707,  by  all  three  of  the  witnesses,  viz.:  Jacob,  James,  Jr.,  and 
Hannah  Brown,  all  of  Ipswich,  legatees.  Wife  Martha  was  to  have  by  contract 
when  he  married  her  one  hundred  pounds  in  money  in  one  year  after  his  decease; 
to  have  her  wood  from  his  land  joining  Pleasure  Pond,  &c.  Son  Thomas  Fiske

belonged  was  to  have  five  pounds  in  money.  Son-in-law  John  Perkins  for  his

Capt.  Daniel  Gookin,  assistant,  Sarah  Symmes,  dau.  of  William  of  Charlestown 
and  Woburn;  d.  Dec.  2,  1692;  m.  2d,  Jan.  7,  1701,  Mrs.  Ann  (Shepard)  Quincy, 
widow  of  Daniel  of  Boston,  and  dau.  of  the  distinguished  Rev.  Thomas  Shepard 
of  Charlestown;  d.  July  28,  1708.  Sarah  Symmes  was  the  daughter  of  William, 
Jr.,  b.  Jan.  10,  1627,  and  his  first  wife,  as  his  servant,  John  Warner,  testified  that 
his  master  was  a  widower  when  this  daughter  married  in  1671.  Of  William's 
mother  Capt.  Johnson  says:  "Among  all  the  Godly  women  that  came  through 
the  perilous  seas  to  war  their  warfare,  the  wife  of  this  zealous  teacher  shall  not  be 
omitted."  He  was  b.  in  Wenham,  a  village  in  Salem,  Mass.,  and  baptized  at  the 
latterplace  in  June,  1642.  He  w-as  son  of  John  Fiske,  who  was  born  in  the  Parish  of 
St.  James  in  South  Elmham,  a  subdivision  of  the  Hundred  of  Wangford  in  the 
County  of  Suffolk;  came  to  Boston  in  disguise  in  1637  with  his  wife  (Ann  Gipps) 
and  children,  sat  down,  first  at  Cambridge.  Removed  the  same  year  to  Salem, 
was  ordained  Oct.  8,  1644,  as  minister  of  Wenham,  and  in  1655  became  minister  at 
Chelmsford,  where  he  died  Jan.  14,  1677.  The  son's  charges  in  college,  extending 
from  3-7-58  to  3-7-59  are  for  tuition,  gallery,  detriment  and  sizing,  and  he  is 
credited  by  59  pounds  of  butter  and  5  sheep.  His  part  on  taking  his  second 
degree  at  commencement  in  1665,  has  been  noticed  elsewhere.  Not  long  after- 
ward he  was  at  Dover,  N.  H.,  perhaps  as  a  preacher.  In  1666  he  was  made  free- 
man. From  1668  to  1671  he  officiated  as  Pastor  at  Woronoco,  now  Westfield, 
Mass.  After  the  death  of  the  Reverend  William  Thompson,  in  the  part  of  Brain- 
tree  now  Quincy,  the  church  there  was  so  divided  that  the  people  could  not  effect 
a  settlement  for  a  successor.  Accordingly,  "at  a  County  Court  held  at  Boston 
by  the  adjournment  the  23d  of  Nov.,  1671,  the  court  having  taken  into  considera- 
tion the  many  means  that  have  been  used  with  the  Church  of  Braintree,  and  hith- 
erto nothing  done  to  effect,  as  to  the  obtaining  the  ordinances  of  Christ  amongst 
them,  this  Court  therefore  orders  and  desires  Mr.  Moses  Fiske  to  improve  his 
labors  in  preaching  the  word  of  Braintree  until  the  church  there  agree  and  obtain 
supply  for  the  work  of  the  ministry,  or  this  court  take  further  order."  In  the 
Braintree  records,  as  stated  by  Lunt,  Fiske  writes:  "Being  ordered  by  the  court 
and  advised  by  the  Reverend  Elders  and  other  friends,  I  went  up  from  the  hon- 
ored Mr.  Edw'd  Tyng's  with  two  of  the  brethren  of  this  church,  sent  to  accom- 
pany me  (2,  ID  mo.,  1671),  being  the  Saturday,  to  preach  God's  word  unto  them." 

"3>  10,  71  (Dec.  3,  1671).  After  evening  exercises  was  ended  I  apologized  as 
to  my  coming,  etc. 

"4,  10,  71.  About  twenty  of  the  brethren  came  to  visit  at  Air.  Flynt's,  mani- 
festing (in  the  name  of  the  church)  their  read}^  acceptance  of  what  the  Honored 
Court  had  done  (having  received  and  perused  their  order,  with  letters  sent  to  their 
Townsmen  respecting  their  duty  toward  their  minister)  and  thanking  me  for  my 
complience  therewith. 

"24,  12,  71.  The  church  by  their  messengers  (Capt.  Brackett,  Lieut.  Quin- 
sej\  Deacon  Bass,  John  Doscet.  sen.,  Gregory  Belchar,  Will  Veazy,  sen.,  Saml. 
Tompson)  did  jointly  and  unanimously  desire  my  settlement  amongst  them,  and 
that  in  order  to  office. 

"14.  2,  72.     Having  advised,  I  gave  the  church,  after  evening  exercise  was  fin- 
ished (being  often  urged  thereto),  an  answer  of  acceptance  through  God's  assist-  ■ 
ance,  understanding  the  concurrence  of  the  neighbors  which  was  partly  expressed, 
and  part  tacit.

house  provided  for  the  ministry.  And  the  house  and  land  bought  by  the  town 
of  brother  Samuel  Tompson,  being  about  five  acres  and  a  half  or  six  acres,  to  be 
fences  and  housing  set  in  good  repair. 

Aug.  18,  1672,  iiaving  obtained  letters  of  recommendation  and  dismission  from 
the  church  at  Chelmsford,  he  joined  the  church  in  Braintree  and  gave  his  "answer 
of  aceptance  to  their  call  to  office,  the  Rev.  Elders  and  others  advising  and  often 
renewing  their  request  to  that  end."  He  was  ordained  Sept.  11,  1672.  "Mr.  Eliot 
prayed  and  gave  the  charge;  Mr.  Oxenbridge  and  the  Deacons  joined  in  laying 
on  hands;  Mr.  Thatcher  gave  the  right  hand  of  fellowship.  Dep.  Gov.  Leveret, 
Mr.  Danforth,  Mr.  Tynge  and  Mr.  Stoughton  were  present."  Probably,  accord- 
ing to  the  custom  of  the  day,  he  preached  his  own  ordination  sermon.  Oct.  26, 
1674,  the  majority  at  a  public  town  meeting  voted  that  he  "should  have  £80 
for  the  year — 74,  in  wood  part  and  corn,  at  the  Country  rate  price,  which 
was  barley  4s.,  pease  4s.,  Indian  3s.,  malt  4s."  Aug.  7,  1704,  it  was  "90  pounds  in  or 
as  money"  (he  finding  himself  with  wood),  to  be  annually  paid  to  him,  or  his 
assigns,  during  his  performing  ye  work  of  the  ministry  in  the  town,  from  the  first 
of  Mar.,  1704."  During  the  last  years  of  Fiske's  ministry  his  comfort  was  disturbed 
by  a  controversy  between  two  sections  of  Braintree.  The  population  had  out- 
grown the  capacity  of  the  meeting  house,  and  the  southern  portion,  for  many 
years,  had  petitioned  without  success  for  a  larger  one  to  be  situated  near  to  them. 
The  distance  for  them  to  travel  was  long,  the  roads  bad,  particularly  in  winter,  and 
the  Lord's  day  became  one  of  labour  instead  of  rest.  The  population  of  the  two 
sections  was  nearly  equal.  The  northern  section  vigourously  opposed  the  project 
and  the  other  began  to  build  for  themselves,  promising  to  be  at  the  whole  cost  of 
the  meeting  house  and  to  maintain  their  own  minister.  This,  and  propositions  to 
pay  ID  pounds  and  afterward  20  pounds  of  the  90  pounds  of  Fiske's  salary,  were 
declined.  Particulars  may  be  found  in  Adams,  Lunt,  ^Marshall,  and  Pattee, 
and,  according  to  depositions  of  parties  interested  there  were  questionable  meas- 
ures resorted  to.  "After  long  and  serious  differences  the  members  of  the  first  par- 
ish were  compelled  to  yield  to  a  division,"  and  then  there  was  a  litigation  respect- 
ing Fiske's  salary.  About  one-half  of  the  parishioners  and  supporters  were  with- 
drawn on  forming  the  south  precinct,  where  Hugh  Adams,  H.  U.,  1697,  was  settled 
at  the  gathering  of  a  church,  Sept.  10,  1707,  at  Alonotoquod,  now  Braintree.  Dur- 
ing Fiske's  ministry  there  were  147  persons  admitted  to  his  church  and  799  bap- 
tized. From  a  diary  in  the  library  of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society  which 
was  kept  by  John  Marshall,  a  mason,  though  formerly  thought  to  be  one  Fairchild, 
it  appears  that  Fiske  "continued  till  his  dying  day,  a  dilligent,  faithful  Labourer  in 
the  harvest  of  Jesus  Christ.  Studious  in  the  holy  scriptures,  having  an  extraor- 
dinary Gift  in  prayer,  above  many  good  men  and  in  preaching  equall  to  the  most; 
inferior  to  few,  zealously  dilligent  for  God  and  the  good  of  men,  one  who  thought 
no  Labour,  Cost  of  Suffering  too  dear  a  Price  for  the  good  of  his  people;  his 
publick  preaching  was  attended  with  Convinceing  Light  and  clearness  and  pow- 
erful affectionate  aplication,  and  his  private  oversight  was  performed  with  impar- 
tiallity,  humility  and  unwearied  diligence;  he  lived  till  he  was  near  65  years  of  age, 
beloved  and  honored  of  the  most  that  knew  him;  on  the  i8th  of  July,  being  the 
Lord's  day,  he  preached  all  day  in  publick.  But  he  was  not  well.  Going  home 
from  his  publick  Labors  he  went  ill  to  bed.  The  distemper.  Continued  proved  a. 
malignant  feaver.  So  that  Litel  hopes  of  recovery  apearing  his  church  assembled! 
together  and  earnestly  besought  the  Great  Shepherd  of  the  sheep,  that  they  might 
not  be  deprived  of  him.  But  heaven  had  otherwise  determined  for,  on  Tuesday,. 
Aug.  10  (1708),  he  dyed  about  one  afternoon."  He  was  m.  Sept.  9,  1671,  by  Capt.. 
Gookin,  assistant,  to  Sarah,  dau.  of  William  Symmes,  of  Charlestown  or  Woburn.

Mr.  Fiske  was  placed  in  the  tomb  where  lie  his  two  wives  and  his  successor, 
Joseph  Marsh,  H.  U.,  1705,  besides  others.     On  his  tombstone  is  this  inscription: 
"Braintree!     They  prophet's  gone,  this  tomb  inters 

The  Rev.  Moses  Fisk  his  sacred  herse. 

Adore  heaven's  praiseful  art,  that  formed  the  man, 

Who  souls  not  to  himself,  but  Christ  oft  won;

In  the  library  of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society  a  manuscript  sermon 

delivered  before  the  Ancient  and  Honorable  Artillery  Company  in  1694.     The  text 

is  taken  from  Eph.  vi.,  14.     "Stand  them  therefore  so."     It  is  noticeable  that  one 

item  in  the  inventory  of  Fiske's  is  "His  Armour."

The  ministerial  tomb  was  erected  by  the  Rev.  Moses  Fiske,  the  third  minister 
of  the  first  church,  in  which  he  and  his  two  wives  were  buried.  After  his  death 
this  tomb  was  selected  as  the  ministerial  sepulcher  in  which  all  the  ministers  of  the 
first  church  have  been  interred  with  the  exception  of  Mr.  Thompson  and  Mr.  Flint. 
Over  the  grave  of  the  latter  was  placed  a  large  flat  stone,  as  was  then  the  custom, 
to  prevent  the  wild  beasts  from  removing  the  remains  of  the  dead  from  their 
last  resting  place.  Not  long  before  the  decease  of  the  Rev.  Peter  Whitney  the 
monument  over  the  tomb  was  renewed  by  the  ladies  of  Quincy,  with  granite,  and 
the  freestone  tablet  that  surmounted  it  was  preserved."

187.  DEA.  WILLIAM  FISKE  (William,  John,  William,  Robert,  Simon, 
Simon,  William,  Symond),  bap.  Wenham,  Mass.,  June  4,  1642-43;  m.  there,  Jan. 
IS,  1662,  Sarah  Kilham,  b.  1649;  d.  Jan.  26,  1737.  Austin  Kilham,  with  his  brother 
Daniel,  emigrated  from  the  Parish  of  Kilham,  Yorkshire,  England,  the  same  year, 
and  probably  in  company  with  the  Fiskes.  Both  settled  and  were  freemen  in 
Wenham  before  1645,  and  are  presumed  to  be  the  ancestors  of  all  New  England 
families  of  that  name.  Austin,  by  wife  Alice,  had  Lot,  born  Sept.  11,  1640,  who 
settled  and  died  in  Enfield;  and  Sarah,  born  Jan.  24,  1642,  who  married  Deacon 
William  Fiske,  and  died  Jan.  26,  1737  (as  the  record  says),  "aged  98."  Her  father, 
and  probably  his  brother,  followed  Rev.  John  Fiske  to  Chelmsford,  1657.  Her 
cousin,  Daniel  Kilham,  Jr.,  figured  conspicuously  in  town  affairs  for  many  years, 
and  his  son,  Hon.  Daniel  Kilham  (a  democrat),  was  the  formidable  antagonist 
of  Hon.  Timothy  Pickering  in  many  a  hotly  contested  campaign  in  Essex  politics. 
Killim  Austin  made  his  will  2d  4  mo  1667  which  was  proved  Sept  24  1667  Inv 
of  his  estate  taken  nth  4  mo  1667  and  Allace  widow  of  Austin  Killum  made  her 
will  July  3,  1667.  In  his  will  is  mentioned  sons  Lott  &  John — She  in  her  will 
mentions  son  Daniel — dau.  Elizth  Hutten  who  then  had  a  daughter  named  Elizth 
— Daughter  Sarah  Fisk  Daughters  Mary  &  Ruth — Daniel's  wife — granddaughter 
Mary  Killum  &  son  Lott. 

He  was  a  weaver  bytrade.  He  held  a  number  of  town  ofifices;  was  representative 
in  1701-04-11-13  and  1714;  was  moderator  in  1702-03,  1712-13  and  1714.  He  was  also 
called  lieutenant.  He  was  elected  deacon  of  the  Congregational  church  in  1679. 
They  were  the  parents  of  fourteen  children,  ten  of  whom  grew  up  and  had  families. 
Of  these  seven  were  sons.  He  died  universally  esteemed  and  lamented.  His  son 
Ebenezer  was  executor  of  his  will.

Samuel  Senr,  and  his  occupation  is  mentioned  as  a  tailor.  He  was  frequently 
elected  to  offices  of  selectman,  tythhigman,  constable,  etc.,  and  he  acquired  a  lar^a

five  sons. 

From  Wenham  Town  Records:  1699.  "Sam'l  Fiske,  Jr.,  is  accepted  as  a

205.  JAMES  FISKE  (James,  Phinehas,  Thomas,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon, 
William,  Symond),  b.  Haverhill,  Mass.,  Aug.  8,  1649;  m.  per  Middlesex  Co.  Rec- 
ords, Feb.  2,  1686,  Tabitha  Butterick.  He  was  not  mentioned  in  his  father's  will. 
James  Fiske  and  Samuel  Fiske  were  among  the  early  settlers  of  Groton,  Mass., 
and  are  supposed  to  have  been  brothers.  But  little  is  known  of  their  history. 
It  is  not  definitely  known  where  they  originated,  nor  what  became  of  them.  No 
record  or  monument  of  their  deaths  or  emigration  has  been  found.  The  same  is 
true  of  their  immediate  descendants,  with  one,  or  at  most,  two,  exceptions.  It  is 
believed,  however,  that  James  and  Samuel  Fiske  were  sons  of  James  Fiske,  of 
Haverhill,  Mass.,  who  was  the  grandson  of  Thomas,  the  third  son  of  Robert  and 
Sibyl  (Gould)  Fiske,  of  England.  Some  of  the  considerations  that  have  lead  to  this 
belief  are  as  fellows:  It  has  been  ascertained  that  James,  of  Haverhill,  had  two 
sons  named  James  and  Samuel;  that  James  was  born  in  1649  and  Samuel  in  1658, 
but  all  trace  of  them  appears  to  have  been  lost,  unless  James  and  Samuel  of  Groton 
are  the  same,  and  if  the  same,  James  would  have  been  41  years  old  when  his  first 
child  was  born  in  Groton  and  56  when  his  last.  Samuel  would  have  been  46  when 
his  eldest,  and  62  when  his  youngest  child  was  born.  This  is  not  improbable. 
They  may  have  married  late  in  life,  or  may  have  had  children  before  coming  to 
Groton.  The  circumstance  that  two  persons  should  disappear  from  one  section  of 
the  country,  and  that  two  about  the  same  time  should  appear  in  another  section 
not  very  remote,  bearing  the  same  names  and  of  similar  ages,  is  pretty  strong 
evidence  that  they  are  identical,  and  further  the  name  Samuel  seems  not  to  have 
been  very  common  in  the  early  history  of  the  Fiskes  in  this  country,  and  if  the 
two  above  mentioned  are  identical,  the  lineage  of  all.  or  nearly  all,  bearing  that 
name  can  be  traced.  There  were  subsequently  other  families  of  Fiskes  in  Groton, 
but  with  a  single  exception  it  is  not  known  that  they  were  connected  with  those 
of  James  and   Samuel.     In  the  history  of   Groton,   the  name   Fiske  is   uniformly

Doctor  Fiske  was  a  physician  of  respectability  and  was  accounted  skillful  in

certificates  of  commendation  copied  from  the  original  papers  preserved  among  the 
state  papers  of  Connecticut  at  Hartford.  We  also  have  his  own  petition  to  the 
General  Court  for  a  license,  which  was  granted  after  his  removal  to  Milford.  His 
professional  reputation  gave  him  an  elevated  position  among  his  medical  brethren 
in  his  new  field  of  labor.  His  widow  Hannah  and  second  son  Ebenezer  adminis- 
tered on  his  estate.

These  may  certify  all  whom  it  may  concern,  that  Mr.  John  Fiske,  late  of  Wen- 
ham, in  the  County  of  Essex  in  N.  E. ;  hath  for  many  years  with  good  success, 
practiced  in  the  arts  of  physick  and  chirurgery  &  hath  made  many  notable  cures 
among  us  &  hath  generally  been  accounted  one  of  good  skill  &  understanding 
in  many  maladies  &  their  remedies  of  which  some  of  us  have  had  experience 
(&  others)  credible  information  &  doe  therefore  hereunto  subscribe  our  names 
this  2ist  of  Feb.,  1695.     William  Fiske,  Samuel  Appleton  and  ten  others. 

My  opinion  is  of  small  weight,  but  being  desired  I  can  say  that  I  have  so 
much  acquaintance  with  Mr.  Fiske  that  makes  me  desire  that  he  may  have  a 
license  to  practice  in  physic  &  chirurgic,  in  the  Colony,  which  I  hope  may  be  for 
the  good  of  many.  Apr.  4,  1695,  I  also  am  of  the  same  mind,  Samuel  Mather  and 
two  others. 

According  to  the  Connecticut  Colonial  records  of  May,  1695,  John  Fisk  was 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  77 


granted  liberty  to  practice  phissick  and  chirurgery.  A  note  states  Mr.  John 
Fisk  had  practiced  medicine  several  years  in  Wenham,  Mass.,  but  has  now  settled 
in  Milford. 

At  the  general  assembly  session  of  Oct.,  1702,  "Mr.  John  Fisk  informs  this 
court  that  he  had  received  a  considerable  wound  in  the  former  Indian  wares, 
therefore  requested  this  court  release  him  from  the  payment  of  the  country  rates 
for  the  future,  it  is  therefore  ordered  that  said  John  Fisk  be  freed  Irom  paying 
Countrey  rates  for  the  future,  viz.,  during  his  natural  life."

House  in  New  York,  where  so  many  perished  through  the 
inhumanity  of  the  British.  He  was  reduced  to  a  mere  skel- 
eton, but  finally  released,  and  brought  home  by  men  upon  a 
hand  litter  from  New  York.  He  died  soon  after.  I  think

236.  REV.  JOHN  FISKE  (Moses,  John,  John,  William,  Robert,  Simon, 
Simon,  William,  Symond),  b.  Braintrec,  Mass.,  Nov.  26,  1684;  m.  Nov.  26,  1717, 
Abigail  Hobart,  dau.  of  Rev.  Nehemiah  Hobart,  of  Newton,  Alass.  He  was  born 
in  that  part  of  Quincy  subsequently  incorporated  as  Braintree,  educated  at  the 
public  schools  and  by  his  father  and  graduated  at  Harvard  in  1702.  After  his 
father's  death  he  preached  in  the  Braintree  church  and  was  ordained  pastor  of 
the  church  in  Killingly,  Conn.,  Oct.  19,  1715,  his  brother-in-law.  Rev.  Joseph 
Baxter,  of  Medfield,  preaching  the  sermon.  There  remained  until  1741,  when  dis- 
affection arose  in  the  church.  He  was  dismissed  by  council  and  subsequently 
retired  upon  his  large  landed  estate  in  Killingly,  where  he  died. 

July  16,  171 1,  the  town  of  Killingly  agreed  to  give  Mr.  Fiske  three  hundred 
and  fifty  acres  of  land  for  his  encouragement  to  settle  in  the  work  of  the  ministry. 
James  Leavens  and  Sampson  Howe  were  appointed  a  committee  to  lay  out  the 
land;  Eleazer  Bateman  and  Ephraim  Warren  to  survey  it.  Two  hundred  acres 
were  laid  out  to  him  on  French  River,  beyond  the  bounds  of  Killingly  as  it  after- 
wards proved.  Seventy-five  acres  for  the  homestead  were  selected  on  the  eastern 
slope  of  Killingly  Hill,  and  seventy-five  on  Assawaga  or  Five-Mile  River. 
Stated  religious  services  w-ere  probably  held  after  this  date  by  Mr.  Fiske,  though 
some  years  passed  before  his  settlement. 

In  the  summer  of  1714  the  meeting-house  was  raised  and  covered.  Its  site 
was  east  of  the  Plainlield  road,  about  one-fourth  of  a  mile  south  of  the  present 
East  Putnam  meeting-house.  Nothing  is  known  of  its  size  and  appearance,  or  of 
the  circumstances  of  its  building.  In  the  ensuing  summer  it  was  made  ready  for  oc- 
cupation and  preparations  made  for  church  organization.  Sept.  15,  1715,  was 
observed  in  Killingly  as  a  day  of  solemn  fasting  and  prayer,  preparatory  to  the 
gathering  of  a  church  and  the  ordination  of  a  pastor. 

"October  19,  171^.  a  church  was  publicly  gathered  in  Killingly  and  John  Fiske 
ordained  the  pastor  of  it."  Mr.  Dwight,  of  Woodstock,  opened  the  service  with 
prayer.  Reverend  Mr.  Baxter,  of  Medfield,  preached  from  Romans  i:  16.  Rev. 
Mr.  Thatcher,  of  Milton,  gave  the  charge  to  the  minister  and  made  the  preceding 
and  subsequent  praycis.  The  first  marriage  recorded  by  the  young  minister  was 
that  of  William  Earned  to  Hannah,  the  first  of  the  seven  notable  daughters  of 
Simon  Bryant.  Mr.  Fiske  was  himself  married  to  Abigail,  daughter  of  Rev. 
Nehemiah  Hobart,  of  Newton,  Mass.,  and  sister  of  Mr.  Samuel  Estabrook,  of 
Canterbury.  The  only  incident  of  his  domestic  life  that  has  come  down  to  us, 
is  the  burning  of  his  house  and  all  its  contents  one  Sabbath,  when  the  family 
were  attending  public  worship.  The  ministry  of  Mr.  Fiske  was  acceptable  and 
prosperous,  and  large  numbers  were  added  to  the  church.  His  pastoral  charge 
comprehended  also  the  inhabitants  north  of  Killingly,  who  were  allowed  to  pay 
church  rates,  if  not  other  town  charges.  Mr.  Fiske  was  remarkably  minute  and 
methodical  in  the  registry  of  church  records,  keeping  separate  lists  of  those  unit- 
ing with  the  church  by  profession  and  by  letter  and  of  those  owning  the  covenant. 
Very  full  lists  of  marriages  and  baptisms  were  preserved  by  him,  which  acquired 
additional  value  from  the  total  lack  of  town  records  during  the  greater  part  of  his 
ministry.  Of  the  salary  and  settlement  allowed  to  him  nothing  further  is  known, 
save  that  the  hundred  acres  of  land  given  by  Capt.  Chandler  to  the  first  settled 
minister  of  Killingly,  "which  land  by  the  ordering  of  Divine  Providence  appertains 
to  John  Fiske" — were  laid  out  to  him  in  1721,  west  of  Five-Mile  River,  a  half  mile 
east  of  the  meeting-house. 

Killingly's  persistent  attempts  to  secure  posses^i^on  of  this  land  occasioned 
much  trouble  and  confusion.  Two  hundred  acres  promised  by  the  town  to  the 
Rev.  Mr.  Fiske,  were  laid  out  in  Thompson's  land,  and  Hascall  and  Spalding 
were  encouraged  in  their  unlawful  appropriations  of  Cotton's  and  Collin's  grants. 
In  1721  the  selectmen  of  Killingly  without  permission  from  Government  pro- 
ceeded to  lay  out  this  colony  land  and  apportion  it  among  her  own  inhabitants 
and  its  consenting  residents.  The  Mass.  Government  wrote  to  Conn,  in  behalf 
of  Cotton  and  Collins  and  received  assurance  that  their  claims  should  be  made  up 
to  them  in  the  ungranted  land  near  Woodstock.  In  1726  Paul  and  William  Dud- 
ley, Josiah  Wolcott  and  Samuel  Morris  represented  to  the  General  Court,  "that 
Killingly,  by  what  right  they  knew  not,  had  laid  out  large  quantities  of  land  north 
of  her  prescribed  bound,  which  was  unjust  and  destructive  of  their  rights,"  and 
begged  relief.  Joseph  Leavens  and  Joseph  Cady  were  summoned  to  answer  in 
behalf  of  Killingly  proprietors,   and  insisted  that  the  land  thus  laid  out  was  in- 


80  FISKE  GENEALOGY. 


eluded  within  their  patent.  The  court  pronounced  their  plea  sufficient,  but 
ordered  patents  to  be  granted  and  executed  to  such  grantees  "as  shall  show 
grants  and  surveys  made  by  Mass."  Though  this  decision  admitted  Killingly's 
claim  to  Connecticut's  share  of  this  colony  land,  she  was  still  dissatisfied,  and 
persisted  in  her  efforts  to  recover  the  tracts  to  Massachusetts'  grantees. 

The  various  public  enterprises  in  which  Killingly  engaged,  and  her  expensive 
controversy  with  Thompson  and  Massachusetts  proprietors,  absorbed  much  of 
her  income,  and  she  often  found  it  difficult  to  meet  her  ordinary  expenses.  In 
1734  the  town  voted  "If  any  person  or  persons  shall  have  money  sufficient  to  pro- 
cure a  book  for  ye  record  of  deeds  of  the  town,  they  shall  have  ye  same  refunded, 
and  repaid  them  again."  Shepherd  Fisk  and  Jacob  Dresser  were  able  to  advance 
the  requisite  sum,  which  was  repaid  them  after  a  long  interval.  Simon  Bryant, 
chosen  in  1731  "to  wait  on  the  Rev.  John  Fiske  in  case  he  goes  to  Hartford,  and 
to  assist  him  and  to  represent  him  in  his  absence  in  case  the  said  Mr.  Fiske  cannot 
go."  after  ten  years'  delay  was  reimbursed  the  four  pounds  expended  in  that 
service. 

The  ministry  to  Mr.  Fiske  was  acceptable  and  profitable  to  his  people  until 
a  rupture  occurred,  from  some  cause  not  now  manifest.  "At  a  regular  meeting 
of  the  first  church  of  Killingly,  July  8,  1741,  after  the  meeting  was  opened  by 
prayer,  Mr.  Fiske  upon  the  advice  of  neighboring  ministers,  moved  to  the  church 
to  dismiss  him  from  his  pastoral  relations."  His  request  was  granted  by  a  clear 
majority.  The  Windham  County  association  was  called,  "To  consider  and  deter- 
mine the  differences  and  difficulties  between  Rev.  Fisk  and  the  church,  arising 
from  several  scandalous  reports  spread  abroad  concerning  Mr.  Fiske."  Deacon 
Bateman,  Justice  Leavens,  Samuel  Danielson,  Ebenezer  Knight  and  Gideon 
Draper  were  appointed  a  committee  to  represent  the  church  and  provide  for  the 
council.  No  record  of  the  result  is  given,  but  it  probably  confirmed  the  dis- 
missal of  Mr.  Fiske.  The  nature  of  the  charges  against  him  is  not  declared,  but 
a  succeeding  pastor,  with  opportunity  of  judgment,  was  of  opinion  that  they  were 
not  of  any  immorality.  The  church,  at  this  date,  numbered  over  four  hundred 
members.  Mr.  Fiske,  during  his  ministry,  performed  763  baptisms,  admitted  254 
into  full  communion,  and  148  to  the  half-way  covenant.  Aug.,  1741,  the  com- 
mittee of  the  church  applied  to  the  Association  for  a  minister,  and  were  rec- 
ommended to  several  candidates,  but  did  not  succeed  in  securing  one. 

The  loss  of  the  minister  was  soon  followed  by  a  protracted  and  violent  con- 
troversy respecting  a  meeting-house.  The  rude  church  edifice  of  1715  was  quite 
inadequate  for  the  populous  and  thriving  township  of  1741,  and  the  inhabitants  of 
the  south  society  were  called  together,  Sept.  13,  to  see  if  they  would  vote  to  build 
a  new  meeting-house. 

Mr.  Fiske,  the  former  pastor,  was  one  of  the  new  pastor's  constant  hearers, 
having  built  himself  a  pew  in  the  new  meeting-house  and  bearing  his  part  in  all 
society  charges.

He  was  the  youngest  son  of  Rev.  Moses  Fiske,  of  Braintree,  educated  at  the 
public  schools  and  was  graduated  at  Harvard  College  in  1708,  where  his  name  ap- 
pears on  the  roll  without  the  e.  He  was  ordained  minister  of  the  first  church  in 
Salem  in  Oct.,  1718.  Says  Bentley,  in  his  Memorial  Sermon:  Rev.  Samuel  Fiske 
was  a  man  of  eminent  talents  in  the  pulpit,  of  a  firm  and  persevering  mind,  and 
held  in  high  esteem  till  dissensions  sprang  up  in  the  society  from  the  ill-defined 
discipline  then  existing  in  our  churches.  He  was  a  preacher  of  real  abilities,  but 
his  high  notions  of  church  authority  were  repugnant  to  many  persons  and  pre- 
vented his  usefulness.  He  was  dismissed  from  the  First  Church  in  1735  and  ac- 
cepted the  charge  of  a  new  society  established  by  his  friends.  He  preached  the 
first  centenary  lecture  of  the  First  Church  Aug.  6,  1729.  The  election  sermon 
delivered  by  him  before  the  Governor  and  Legislature  in  1731  may  be  ranked 
among  the  best.  It  was  published  and  a  copy  of  it  is  preserved  among  the  State 
archives.  Rev.  Mr.  Fiske  was  dismissed  from  the  Third  Church  in  1745,  when 
he  retired  from  the  public  ministry.  He  was  connected  by  marriage  with  one  of 
the  most  flourishing  families  in  Salem.

chase of  the  common.  He  was  ad.  to  the  church  in  1736.  His  residence  was  on 
Hancock  street,  where  his  father  David  had  resided,  and  was  one  of  the  first  set- 
tled places  in  the  township.    The  present,  which  is  probably  the  second  house  on 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.

that  spot,  was  erected  in  1732.  Robert  Fiske  was  a  physician,  and  probably  the 
first  of  the  profession  in  that  place.     His  wife  survived  him  but  a  few  years. 

The  inventory  of  his  estate  sheds  light  upon  the  manners  and  customs  of  the 
age.  Among  other  things,  we  find  the  following:  Hat  and  wig  iocs;  Arms — 
yellow  stock  gun,  8£  10s;  little  gun  5^;  carbine  50s;  brass  pistols  50s;  rapier  and 
belt  I2s;  three  staves  20s;  two  cans  and  two  piggens  15s;  one  loom,  quill  wheel  and 
warping  bars,  50s;  two  pairs  snow  shoes  30s.  Books — General  Practice  of  Physic, 
30s;  English  Dispensatory  or  Synopsis  of  Medicine  30s.  The  Structure  and  Condi- 
tion of  Bones  15s.  By  these  items,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  doctor  was  quite  as  well 
armed  for  the  art  of  war  as  for  the  art  of  healing. 

In  the  distribution  of  the  estate  of  Dr.  Robert  Fiske,  all  of  the  real  estate  went 
to  the  older  brothers  of  John,  so  that  no  deed  from  him  appears  to  have  been 
thereafter  needed  and  in  fact  has  not  been  found.  25  April,  1757,  Robert  Fiske  of 
Woburn,  Physician,  gave  to  Joseph  Fiske  of  Lexington,  Physician  and  Jonas 
Parker  of  Lexington,  laborer,  a  bond  for  £27,  conditioned  that  David  Fiske  on 
coming  of  age  would  convey  to  Jonas  Parker  and  Joseph  Fiske  his  share  in  that 
one  third  of  the  estate  of  Robert  Fiske,  Physician  of  Lexington,  deceased,  which 
had  been  set  ofif  to  his  mother,  Mary  Fiske,  widow  of  the  said  Robert.  The  sure- 
ties were  John  Fiske  of  Lexington,  Dr.  Jonathan  and  David  Fiske  of  Woburn, 
John  Buckman  of  Lexington  and  Mary  his  wife,  and  Lydia  Wilson,  widow  of 
Lexington.  These  sureties  were  evidently  the  brothers  and  sisters  of  Robert, 
Joseph  and  David  Fiske,  mentioned  in  the  body  of  the  bond.  5  December,  1757. 
John  Buckman  of  Lexington,  filed  his  bond  as  administrator  of  that  part  of  the 
estate  of  Dr.  Robert  Fiske,  left  unadministered  by  his  widow,  Mary,  the  sureties 
on  the  bond  being  John  Fiske,  Physician,  of  Lexington  and  John  Fiske  of  Wo- 
burn, yeoman.     He  died  Apr.  18,  1753;  res.  Lexington,  Mass.

house  upon  the  red  coats  after  they  had  attacked  the  Americans 
upon  the  common,  and  some  of  the  clapboards  to  this  day

appears  to  have  been  popular  in  his  day,  having  been  called  to  fill  many  ofiices  in 
the  town.  He  was  selectman  ten  years,  between  1739  and  1758.  He  resided  on  the 
road  to  Concord,  a  little  more  than  a  mile  from  the  common,  at  the  easterly  side 
of  a  large  swell  of  land,  which  from  his  residence  and  ownership  has  taken  the 
name  of  "Fiske  Hill."  It  was  at  this  house  that  the  gallant  Hayward  of  Acton 
met  a  British  soldier  coming  from  the  well,  between  whom  shots  were  exchanged, 
with  fatal  efifect  on  both  sides.  Benjamin,  my  son,  "was  to  have  my  negro  boy

ford, and  executor  of  his  will,  was  born  in  Wenham,  settled  in  Milford  upon  the 
paternal  estate,  where  were  born  to  him  a  family;  but  died  at  the  residence  of  his 
son,  Ebenezer,  in  New  Milford,  same  state. 

May  21,  1709,  John  Fisk  of  Milford  deed  to  his  son  Ebenezar  Fisk  one  half 
right  in  certain  lands  in  New  Milford.  After  May  19,  1737,  Ebenezar  Fisk  is  re- 
corded of  New  Milford. 

We  find  the  following  under  the  heading  of  "Sketches  of  Prominent  Men" 
in  the  history  of  New  Milford:  "Ebenezer  Fisk,  Sen.,  came  from  Milford  in  1737, 
and  settled  on  Second  hill,  or  on  the  west  side  of  Town  hill.  His  father,  Doct. 
John  Fisk  of  Milford,  bought  a  Right  of  land  in  New  Milford,  in  1709,  and  gave 
half  of  it  to  his  son  Ebenezer,  the  same  year,  but  the  latter  did  not  settle  here 
until  1737.  Ebenezer,  Sen.,  had  a  son  Ebenezer  Jr.  who  married  and  had  a  son 
Ichabod,  born  in  1747,  and  apparently  removed  from  the  town  not  many  years 
after.

cessor of  Rev.  Jer.  Hobart,  and  died  there,  after  a  very  successful  pastorate  of 
twenty-four  years.  Rev.  Dr.  D.  D.  Field,  in  his  biographies  of  the  early  Connecti- 
cut clergy,  speaks  of  him  in  high  praise.  "He  was  a  man  of  piety  and  wisdom, 
sound  in  the  faith,  pleasant  in  intercourse,  plain  in  reproof.  His  talents  were 
solid,  rather  than  brilliant;  his  sermons  better  calculated  to  inform  the  understand- 
ing than  to  remove  the  passions.  A  man  of  scientific  attainments,  of  good  literary 
abilities,  and  of  true  Christian  deportment,  his  name  was  long  remembered  with 
sincere  respects,  in  Haddam."  Rev.  Phinehas  Fiske  was  married  in  Saybrook,  and

of  John  and  Elizabeth  (Staats)  Wendell  and  grandson  of  Evart  Jansen  and  

Wendell,  who  came  from  Embden,  Prussia  in  1645  and  settled  in  Albany.  Sarah's 
mother,  Elizabeth  Quincy,  was  daughter  of  Hon.  Edmund  and  Dorothy  (Flint) 
Quincy  of  Braintree,  who  died  in  London  in  1737:  and  granddaughter  of  Col.  Ed- 
mund and  Elizabeth  Gookin  (Elliot)  Quincy.  Her  daughter  Sarah  Gerry  m.  in  1785

Gerry,  who  was  father  of  Hon.  Elbridge  Gerry,  at  one  time  vice  president  of 
the  United  States.  Gen.  John  Fiske  was  born  in  Salem,  April  loth,  1744;  was  son 
of  the  Rev.  Samuel  Fiske,  who  was  ord.  at  Salem.  8  Oct.  1718,  when  his  was  the 
only  Church  within  the  limits  of  the  town.  He  died  April  7th,  1770,  ae.  81.  The 
venerable  Nathan  Bucknam  of  Medway,  who  died  Feb.,  1795,  ae.  92,  was  uncle 
to  Gen.  Fiske,  whom  he  baptized  at  Salem,  6  JMay  (1744).  Gen  Fiske  "early  en- 
gaged in  the  business  of  the  Sea."  In  1775  he  was  a  master  mariner  and  became 
captain  of  the  "Tyrannicide,"  the  first  war-vessel  commissioned  by  the  state  of 
Massachusetts,  8  July,  1776.  He  made  many  successful  cruises  in  her,  and  was 
engaged  in  several  sanguinary  combats.  On  10  Dec,  1777  he  took  command 
of  the  state  ship  "Massachusetts,"  a  larger  and  a  better  vessel.  After  the  Rev.  war 
he  engaged  in  commercial  pursuits  and  acquired  property.  At  the  commence- 
ment of  the  American  Revolution,  his  knowledge  of  the  sea  and  personal  in- 
trepidity brought  him  into  notice,  and  he  was  commissioned  the  first  commander 
of  a  vessel  of  war  by  the  government.  At  the  close  of  the  war,  upon  the  reor- 
ganization of  the  State  militia,  he  was  commissioned  a  Colonel,  then  a  Brigadier, 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  103 


and  finally,  in  1792,  a  Major  General,  which  position  he  held  until  his  death,  in 
September,  1797. 

He  was  a  man  of  princely  hospitality,  of  enterprising  spirit,  and  benevolent 
impulses.  '  He  took  a  great  interest  in  the  various  religious  and  charitable  move- 
ments of  his  day,  and  contributed  freely  to  their  support. 

There  are  more  transfers  of  property  on  the  Salem  records  of  deeds  from  Gen. 
John  Fiske  than  any  other  one  of  this  name,  and  in  ten  volumes  of  the  records  he 
is  about  the  only  Fiske  mentioned.  He  was  a  very  large  property  owner  and 
was  continually  buying  and  selling  real  estate.  I  give  these  few  transfers  to  show 
something   of  his   purchases:

Upton,  Jan.  28,  1739,  Dorcas  Tyler,  an  aunt  of  President  John  Tyler. 

The  original  Indian  name  of  the  territory,  embraced  in  the  town  of  Shelburne, 
was  "Quabbin."  On  the  30th  of  June,  1732,  the  General  Court  granted  seven 
townships  of  land,  si.x  miles  square  each,  to  the  descendants  of  the  soldiers  \yho 
destroyed  the  Narraganset^fort,  on  the  19th  of  Dec,  1675.  The  number  of  soldiers 
was  840.  This  gave  a  township  of  six  miles  square  to  each  120  soldiers.  These 
townships  were  granted  on  condition  that  each  township  should  settle  at  least 
60  families  on  its  territory  within  seven  years  after  the  grant,  settle  a  learned 
Orthodox  minister,  and  lay  out  a  lot  of  land  for  him  and  one  for  the  school. 
If  these  conditions  were  not  complied  with  the  grant  was  to  be  void.  On  the  6th 
of  June,  1733,  the  proprietors  met  on  Boston  Common,  at  2  o'clock  in  the  after- 
noon, when  they  voted  that  the  grantees  should  be  divided  into  seven  societies, 
one  township  to  be  given  to  each  society.  Narraganset  township  No.  4  was  first 
laid  out  in  New  Hampshire,  but  the  committee  reported  that  it  was  not  fit  for  a 
settlement.  Accordingly,  on  the  I4,th  of  Jan.,  1737,  the  General  Court  granted 
to  the  proprietors  of  No.  4  the  territory  of  Quabbin  in  exchange  for  the  New 
Hampshire  township.  After  surveying  Quabbin,  it  was  found  to  contain  consid- 
erably less  than  six  miles  square.  So  the  Court  granted  a  tract  of  land  lying  west 
of,  and  adjoining  to,  Hatfield,  sufiticient  to  make  up  the  full  amount  of  territory 
to  which  the  grantees  were  entitled.  This  tract  is  now  embraced  within  the 
boundaries  of  Chesterfield.  The  territory  of  Shelburne  was  originally  included  in 
Deerfield,  and  was  at  first  called  "The  Deerfield  Pasture,"  and  afterward  "Deerfield 
North  West."  It  l^egan  to  be  settled  not  far  from  1756.  The  first  two  settlements 
were  made  near  Shelburne  Falls,  by  families  from  Deerfield.  The  early  settlers 
were  soon  obliged  to  retire,  on  account  of  the  French  and  Indian  war.  The  first 
permanent  settlements  are  supposed  to  have  been  made  about  1760.  Among  the 
first  settlers  was  Ebenezer  Fisk.  The  town  was  incorporated  June  21,  1768,  and 
was  named  after  Lord  Shelburne  of  England,  who,  according  to  the  usual  tradi- 
tion, gave  the  town  a  bell  which,  as  usual,  was  lost  after  it  had  arrived  at  Boston. 
The  first  town  meeting  was  held  Oct.  31,  1768,  at  the  house  of  Daniel  Nims.  Capt. 
John  Wells,  from  Deerfield,  was  the  first  town  clerk;  Ebenezer  Fiske,  constable. 
Among  the  descendants  of  Ebenezer  and  Dorcas  were  seven  who  entered  the 
Christian  ministry,  inclusive  of  Rev.  Pliny  Fiske,  of  the  Syrian  mission.  Rev. 
Dr.  Ezra  Fiske,  of  Goshen,  N.  Y.,  and  Rev.  Dr.  D.  T.  Fiske,  of  Newburyport, 
Mass. 

A  valuable  cane,  supposed  to  have  been  brought  from  England  and  willed  by 
the  Deacon  to  his  second  son,  has  been  inherited  by  a  male  in  this  family  in  every 
generation  since,  the  last  possessor  being  Ebenezer  Fiske  of  Adrian,  Mich.  Eben- 
ezer and  Dorcas  resided  in  Upton,  later  moving  to  Grafton,  thence  to  Hardwick, 
and  finally  locating  in  Shelburne,  where  he  died.

25,   1749,   Susannah   Batchelder,   of   Wenham.     blie   m.   2d,   Benjamin   Davis.     She 
was  b.  1731;  d.  1810. 

Joseph  Bachelder,  the  first  representative  from  Wenham  (1644),  emigrated  in 
1638,  in  company  with  his  brothers,  Henry  and  Joshua,  who  went  to  Ipswich,  and 
John,  who  settled  with  him  at  Salem.  Joseph  soon  after  removed  to  Wen- 
ham, and,  according  to  Dr.  Allen,  his  descendants  continue  there  to  this  day. 
Among  his  children  (probably)  were  Joseph,  Mark,  David,  John  and  Ebenezer. 
Ebenezer  was  constable  in  1714,  and  Mark  was  one  of  the  five  drafted  in  King 
Philip's  war  and  perished  in  the  fierce  assault  upon  the  fort  of  the  Narragansetts, 
1675.  David  Bachelder,  a  grandson  of  Joseph,  Sen.,  by  wife  Susanna,  had  sons 
David,  Joseph,  Amos,  Nehemiah  and  Abraham,  and  daughters  Alary  and  Susanna. 
The  latter  married  William  Fiske,  Sen.,  of  Amherst.  Her  brothers  Joseph,  Amos, 
and  cousins  Israel,  Josiah  and  Ebenezer,  were  Revolutionary  soldiers.  The  name 
on  the  records  is  frequently  spelled  Batcheller  and  Bachelor. 

David  Batchelder  made  his  will  Aug.  25,  1759.  which  was  proved  Mar.  11, 
1766.  Wife  Susannah  to  have  the  Easterly  end  ot  the  house  &c,  son  David,  son 
Joseph,  son  Nehemiah — son  Abraham — Daughter  ]\Iary  to  have  ten  shillings  &c — 
Daughter  Susannah  to  have  ten  shillings  to  be  paid  at  the  end  of  one  year  after 
my  decease  also  my  largest  Brass  Kettle — son  Amos  to  have  the  whole  estate 
excepting  the  above  legacy,  to  be  executor. 

Wm  resided  in  Wenham,  Mass.,  and  in  1774  removed  to  Amherst,  N.  H., 
where  they  settled  on  a  tract  of  land  on  the  south  side  erf  Walnut  Hill.  He  was 
the  executor  of  his  father's  will.  He  was  the  founder  of  the  Amherst,  N.  H., 
branch.  He  resided  at  the  ancient  homestead  in  Wenham,  where  probably  his 
father,  himself  and  his  own  children  were  all  born,  after  the  decease  or  removal 
of  his  parents  and  immediate  relatives.  Of  himself  personally,  little  is  known, 
except  that  in  his  character  and  principles  he  was  a  stanch  Puritan.  His  father 
and  grandfather  were  successively  deacons  in  the  original  Wenham  church  for 
upwards  of  seventy  years;  the  same  ancient  church  of  which  Rev.  John  Fiske 
himself  was  the  original  pastor.  More  remotely  still  the  family  had  been  identified 
with  that  great  reformatory  struggle  in  England,  from  which  were  fathered  the 
rich  fruits  for  a  purer  faith  and  constitutional  liberty. 

Having  been  appointed  sole  executor  of  his  will  and  principal  heir  by  Deacon 
Ebenezer  Fiske,  William  Fiske  remained  in  Wenham  long  enough  to  settle  the 
estate  and  dispose  of  the  homestead  and  various  tracts  of  land,  when  (in  1773  or  4) 
he  removed  to  Amherst,  N.  H.,  with  his  wife  Susanna,  nine  children  and  two 
daughters-in-law,  Mary  Bragg,  the  wife  of  their  son  Jonathan  and  Eunice  Nourse, 
wife  of  their  son  William.  The  father.  William,  Sen.,  purchased  a  tract  of  land  in 
Amherst.  The  situation  was  cozy,  well  sheltered  and  watered,  but  the  country 
then  was  mostly  a  wilderness  and  the  land  rough,  rocky  and  heavily  timbered, 
requiring  immense  labor  and  sturdy  courage  to  clear  it.  off.  The  fatigue  and  ex- 
posure incidental  to  establishing  the  new  home  under  such  straitened  cir- 
cumstances, doubtless  bore  hard  on  all  the  members  of  the  family,  and  must  have

contributed  directly  to  the  father's  death,  as  he  lived  but  a  few  years  after.  But 
they  were  glad  to  get  away  from  the  disturbances  then  thickening  along  the  sea- 
board, and  in  hopes  that  the  distance  from  the  seat  of  impending  (British)  war, 
would  in  a  measure  secure  them  from  its  horrors  that  are  attended  with  every  war, 
its  privations  and  hardships. 

Mr.  Fiske  lived  to  see  his  country  proclaimed  free  and  independent  and  his 
family  settled  in  comparative  comfort,  and  died  in  1777,  in  the  82d  year  of  his  age. 
His  widow  Susanna  was  appointed  administratrix  of  his  estate  June  ID,  1777. 
His  widow,  surviving  many  years,  married  again  and  died  about  1810  at  quite  an 
advanced  age.  Of  their  sons  and  daughters  all  except  Anne  married,  and  she 
and  two  others  excepted  William  and  David  remained  in  Amherst,  and  settled 
elsewhere.  Some  of  them  raised  large  families  and  all  more  or  less  prospered  in 
circumstances  and  the  good  esteem  of  their  fellow-citizens.  Of  them  all  it  is 
believed  that  it  may  be  truly  said  that  their  lives  were  blameless  and  their  end  calm 
and  full  of  peace.

Dec.  II,  1737,  Judith  Noyes,  of  Newbury. 

During  the  French  and  Indian  conflict  we  find  the  names  of  some  of  the 
Boxford  men  who  wore  in  the  service.  They  were  in  the  company  of  Capt.  Joseph 
Frye,  of  Andover,  doing  service  at  Scarborough.  The  time  of  service  of  Samuel 
Fiske  was  from  April  27,  1748,  to  May  i.  1749.  His  wife  was  sick  while  he  was 
serving  as  soldier  in  the  French  and  Indian  war.  Mrs.  Fiske  had  probably  gone 
to  the  fort  to  help  take  care  of  the  sick,  and  fell  a  victim  to  the  disorder.  The 
winter  was  close  upon  them,  and  considerable  snow  having  already  fallen,  the 
soldiers  proceeded  to  Ticonderoga,  where  they  encamped  over  night  and  hurried 
on  their  homeward  way  next  morning.  They  marched  in  as  direct  a  line  as  pos- 
sible, through  Vermont  and  New  Hampshire,  and  reached  home  just  before  the 
first  of  December.

^757)  Jemima  Adams,  dau.  of  Obadiah  of  Mendon.  She  d.  in  Upton,  Oct.  3,  1813. 
He  was  born  in  Wenham,  Mass.,  in  the  town  where  his  ancestors  settled  on  com- 
ing to  this  country  from  England.  On  moving  to  Upton  he  was  united  in  mar- 
riage and  ever  after  resided  there.  The  births  of  his  children  are  recorded  in 
Grafton  also.  During  the  Revolutionary  War  he  was  lieutenant  in  the  Upton 
company.  He  served  the  town  in  various  public  offices  of  trust  and  honor;  was 
a  member  of  the  Congregational  church,  and  highly  respected  in  the  community. 

A  descendant  in  writing  from  Grafton  says:  On  his  Gravesfone  is  inscribed 
"In  Memory  of  Lieut  William  Fisk  who  died  ]March  9,  1818  Aged  85  years"  He 
served  in  the  Revolutionary  War  was  with  Washington  when  a  part  of  the  British

a  meat  Tub  which  was  made  in  England  &  brought  to  xA-merica  by  one  of  his 
Ancesters  which  is  still  in  use  at  the  old  Homestead  has  never  been  repaired  but 
appears  to  be  sound  &  in  order  for  future  use. 

The  old  inhabitents  of  Upton  (Those  who  descended  from  the  first  setlers

Conn,.  Dec.  25,  1723.  Elizabeth  Durkee. 

He  was  born  in  Watertown,  Mass.,  and  while  a  young  man  emigrated  to  the 
colony  of  Connecticut  and  located  in  Windham,  one  of  the  oldest  places  in  that 
state,  where  he  ever  after  resided.  Eli  C.  Fisk,  of  Havanna,  111.,  in  writing  in  re- 
lation to  his  ancestor  said:  "Our  ancestor  dropped  the  final  e  from  the  family 
name  and  settled  first  in  Mass.,  and  when  Hooker  went  to  Conn,  in  1636  he  ac- 
companied him.  Many  of  his  descendants  still  remain  in  Conn.,  but  in  the  early 
days  some  went  into  Rhode  Island.  Hence  the  early  Conn,  and  R.  I.  Fisks  dropped 
the  final  vowel  from  their  names.  In  the  fall  of  1867  or  spring  of  1868  James 
Fisk  (one  of  my  father's  brothers)  of  Omro,  Wis.,  paid  me  a  visit;  he  also  told  me 
the  same  story  in  respect  to  our  ancestors  being  one  of  Hooker's  party  and  that 
he  was  the  person  that  dropped  the  final  e  of  the  family  name.  Also  my  father 
told  me  the  same,  and  it  came  in  this  way.  I  received  a  letter  from  Stephen  Fisk 
(another  brother  of  my  father)  of  Wales,  Mass.,  who  lived  on  the  old  homestead 
there  that  signed  the  letter  e  to  his  son's  name.  Both  of  my  parents  said  it  did 
not  belong  there,  and  that  the  Fisk  that  emigrated  to  Windham,  Conn.,  with 
Hooker  dropped  it,  and  none  of  the  family  had  ever  assumed  it  since.  Now  you 
have  my  authority  for  my  statement." 

He  was  a  farmer.    He  d.  Mar.  25,  1748;  res.  Windham,  Conn.

was  daughter  of  Jason  and  Abigail  (Clark)  Rice,  and  was  born  in  Sudbury. 
The  father  died  there  Feb.  19,  1729,  ae.  38.  The  widow  then  married  Dec.  7,  1741, 
Nathaniel  Haven  of  Framingham.  Soon  after  the  death  of  Jason,  the  widow 
was  appointed  guardian  of  the  three  children.  Nov.  23,  1741,  Abigail,  with  the 
other  two  children,  chose  Jason  Gleason  in  her  stead.  Jason  Rice  was  the  son 
of  Dea.  Edmund  and  Joyce  (Russell)  Rice  of  Cambridge.  When  the  father  died 
the  other  heirs  deeded  the  Sudbury  property  to  Jason,  upon  which  he  subse- 
quently resided,  and  where  he  died.  Nathaniel  Haven  was  a  member  of  the 
Framingham  church  when  constituted;  was  constable  in  1707;  selectman  in  1706. 
He  d.  July  20,  1746.  Samuel  was  born  nine  years  after  the  marriage  of  his  par- 
ents; he  was  the  third  and  youngest  child,  the  other  two  being  Jason  and  Hepzi- 
bath.  He  was  b.  Feb.  8,  1762,  and  went  from  Sherburne  to  Barre  with  his  parents 
when  he  was  about  nine  years  old,  and  died  there  in  1832.  His  father  Samuel, 
and  son  Samuel  are  also  buried  in  Barre,  I  believe.  He  d.  in  Barre,  Mass.;  res. 
Sudbury,  Sherburne  and  Barre,   Mass. 

By  the  will  of  his  father,  Johnathan,  who  died  in  1740,  he  was  given  "26  acres 
of  land  in  Sudbury  on  the  east  side  of  the  river  called  the  Neck."  He  moved 
to  Sudbury  and  was  married  there,  and  soon  afterward  sold  his  26  acres  and  moved 
to  Sherborn,  moving  later  to  Barre,  Mass.,  where  he  died.

Sudbury,  Dec.  5,  1750,  Ruth  Noyes.  He  was  a  native  of  Sudbury,  but  early  was 
a  resident  of  Holden.  He  was  one  of  the  prominent  men  in  the  town  and  for 
years,  from  Mar.  31,  1762,  was  deacon  of  the  church.  Among  papers  belonging  to 
the  Rev.  Mr.  Avery,  pastor  of  the  church,  I  have  found  a  small  memorandum 
book,  which  contains  some  entries  of  peculiar  interest.  The  book  bears  date 
1782.  That  was  a  period  of  great  distress  among  the  people.  The  war  had 
been  long.  Money  was  scarce,  and  it  was  with  some  difficulty  that  Mr.  Avery 
received  his  annual  salary.  His  parishioners,  however,  were  disposed  to  share 
with  their  pastor,  the  good  things  of  life.  "Memorandum  of  gifts  received."  "Of 
Deacon  Hubbard,  a  piece  of  beef;  a  pail  of  soap;  a  loaf  of  bread;  a  few  candles; 
two  quarts  of  milk;  a  cheese,  and  four  pounds  of  butter."  "Of  Mr.  Abbott,  a 
piece  of  beef  and  of  pork;  also  a  spare-rib;  three  candles;  some  malt  and  a  piece 
of  bread,  also  two  wash  tubs  and  thirty  nails,  and  a  few  hops."  "Of  Lieut.  Hub- 
bard, a  piece  of  beef,  a  cheese  and  some  malt."  "Of  Mr.  Ebn.  Estabrook,  a  leg 
of  pork."     "Of  Deacon  Fiske,  a  piece  of  beef,  Jan.  Sth." 

The  ladies  of  that  day  were  equally  thoughtful  in  regard  to  the  wants  of  the 
Parish  Priest.  "Of  Mrs.  Benj.  Flagg,  a  cheese."  "Of  Mrs.  Fiske,  a  lb.  of  combed 
flax."     "Of  Mrs.  Elisha  Hubbard,  some  flax." 

David  Fiske  was  town  clerk  1783-6-8-9;  selectman,  1761-2-9-71-77-78-83;  asses- 
sor, 1 767-9-71-7-8-83-5-7-8.  When  the  census  of  the  town  was  taken  in  1773  his 
family  consisted  of  eight  persons.  He  served  in  the  local  militia  company  as  pri- 
vate before  and  during  the  Revolutionary  War.

Grover,  m.  2d,  Betty ,  d.  Dec.  14,  1770.  There  is  no  recoid  of  his  death.  He 

was  in  Lex.  in  1764,  and  she  was  a  widow  in  1767;  he  must  have  died  between  these 
periods.  In  1767  Wid.  Betty  Fiske  bought  eighty  acres  of  land  in  Lex.  bounded 
easterly  on  the  Woburn  line  and  westerly  by  land  of  Lemuel  Simonds.  Her  will, 
dated  Dec.  4,  1770,  and  proved  in  1771,  mentions  sons  Robert,  John  and  David 
and  daus.  Betty  and  Ruth.  The  record  of  this  family  is  quite  defective.  Like 
his  father,  he  was  a  physician  by  profession,  and  appears  to  have  resided  in  many 
places.  In  1760  he  was  in  the  French  and  Indian  war.  In  1757  in  Woburn,  and  in 
1764  he  ret.  to  Lex.

to  any  great  extent.  There  is  not  any  record  of  his  marriage  on  the  Lexington 
records.  He  was  in  Lex.  in  1752  and  later  as  one  of  the  heirs — "Dr.  John  Fiske" — 
he  sold  land  to  Jonas  Parker.  In  1754  he  was  in  the  French  and, Indian  war,  and 
it  is  said  later  he  was  of  Pomfret,  town,  a  housewright  and  bought  in  1753  of 
Nathaniel  Abbott  of  Pomfret  land  lying  partly  in  Pomfret  and  partly 'in  Ashford. 
In  1756  he  sold  to  William  Legg  of  Mendon  30^-^  acres  in  Mendon  North  Purchase, 
now  Milford. 

John  Fiske,  carpenter,  first  appears  on  Pomfret  records  21  January,  1753,  when 
for  ii450  bills  of  public  credit,  he  bought  of  Nathan  Abbott  of  Pomfret,  54^  acres 
of  land  lying  partly  in  Pomfret  and  partly  in  Ashford.  Fiske  sold  this  land  the 
following  year  to  Jonathan  Lyon  of  Promfret  for  £1660.  old  tennor,  buying  of 
Lyon  at  the  same  time  for  £1700,  35  acres  in  Pomfret.  John  Fiske  married  9  Jan., 
1755,  Mary  b.  at  Pomfret  6  Nov.,  1735,  daughter  of  John  and  Mary  (Willis)  In- 
galls. On  Pomfret  records  Fiske  is  frequently  called  Lieutenant.  He  died  at  Pom- 
fret 6  Aug..  1790.  His  will  (original  on  file  at  Pomfret),  dated  28  July.  1790, 
mentions  wife  Mary  for  whom  a  provision  was  made  during  her  natural  life  and 
gives  one  half  of  the  residue  of  the  estate  to  son  Daniel,  dividing  the  other  half 
between  his  three  daughters,  Mary,  Sarah  and  Alice;  Sarah's  share  was  to  be  deb-

was  not  very  plenty  in  his  day,  he  contributed  greatly  to  thin  off  the  deer,  bears,

To  show  how  little  one  knows  of  their  ancestors  I  give  this.  A  great-grand- 
son of  Dr.  Fiske  in  writing  to  the  compiler  in  1896  says:  "Our  branch  of  the 
Fisk  family,  unfortunately,  I  have  been  unable  to  trace  back  beyond  the  landing 
in  New  York  about  1781.  My  great-grandfather  was  a  physician,  evidently  from 
a  prominent  English  family.  The  place  from  which,  and  the  date  of  his  departure 
from  England,  we  cannot  discover,  nor  do  we  know  his  name,  as  he  died  on  the

passage  over.  He  was  a  widower  with  three  small  children,  but  his  mother 
attended  him  on  the  passage.  The  names  of  the  three  orphan  children  who 
landed  in  New  York  about  1781,  under  the  care  of  their  grandmother,  were:  Eben- 
ezer  Fisk,  Isabella  Fisk  and  Cotton  Fisk.  The  evidence  that  our  great-grandfather 
came  from  a  wealthy  family  in  England  is  supposed  from  the  fact  that  among  his 
effects,  landing  in  New  York,  which  jny  grandfather  had,  was  a  great  chest  con- 
taining a  costly  wardrobe,  a  number  of  velvet  suits,  etc.,  a  tortoise  shell  jewel  box 
with  many  jewels,  and  his  medical  and  surgical  instruments.  This  jewel  case  is

ard, of  Shelburne,  and  was  ordained  as  an  Evangelist  in  1810. 
He  preached  as  a  missionary  in  Georgia  for  two  or  three 
years,  and  there  he  married  a  daughter  of  the  venerable  Dr. 
Francis  Cummins.  In  1813  he  was  permanently  settled  in  the 
ministry  at  Goshen,  N.  Y..  where  he  sustained  a  beloved  pas- 
toral relation  with  his  people  for  upward  ol  twenty  years,  when 
he  was  compelled,  by  an  affection  of  the  lungs,  to  intermit  his 
labors,  and  seek  relief  by  a  winter's  residence  at  the  South. 
During  his  absence  he  was  appointed  to  but  declined  the  ofhce 
of  General  Agent  of  and  elected  Professor  of  Ecclesiastical 
History  and  Church  Government,  in  the  Western  Theological 
Seminary  in  Pennsylvania,  which  position,  upon  his  return 
north,  he  accepted.  On  the  4th  of  November,  1833,  while  on 
the  way  to  his  new  field  of  labor,  he  was  taken  suddenly  and 
fatally  ill,  at  Philadelphia,  just  after  the  close  of  an  impressive 
discourse.  Sabbath  evening,  from  the  text  (Col.  i.  12)  "Giv-

byterian General  Assembly,  in  1833;  was  long  a  director  of 
Princeton  Theological  Seminary,  and  from  1823  to  1833  was  a 
trustee  of  Williams  College.  He  received  his  doctorate  from 
Hamilton  College,  and  was  highly  esteemed  for  his  ripe  schol- 
arship, for  the  acumen  and  strength  of  his  mind,  and  for  his 
Christian  integrity.  He  was  the  author  of  several  published 
sermons  and  a  valuable  series  of  essays  on  Mental  Science. 
Few  men  were  better  read  in  the  Hebrew  and  Classics,  and 
in  the  realm  of  Mental  Philosophy  he  had  no  superiors  in  his 
church.  As  a  preacher  he  was  always  master  of  his  theme  and 
audience.  His  style  was  logical,  polished,  always  forcible,  and 
at  times  impassioned;  his  eloquence,  the  rich  overflow  of  a  well- 
stored  mind  sanctified  by  grace.  He  labored  to  win  souls,  not 
to  himself  but  to  Christ,  and  not  many  have  had  more  seals  to

their  ministry.  Nearly  six  hundred  sound  and  permanent  cun- 
versions  were  the  fruits  of  his  devoted  labors.  In  his  ais- 
courses  he  was  accustomed  to  address  both  the  understanding 
and  the  feelings,  the  reason  and  the  passions  of  men.  To  a 
personal  dignity  and  nobleness  of  manner,  he  added  a  purity 
of  purpose,  sweetness  of  temper  and  benignity  of  heart  irresist- 
ibly fascinating.  No  one  ever  doubted  his  piety,  his  sincerity 
or  devotion;  and  he  lived  in  Goshen  twenty  years  without  mak-

Theological  Seminary  in  1818.  He  was  appointed,  with  Levi 
Parsons,  by  the  American  board,  to  the  Palestine  Mission,  in 
1818,  and  sailed  from  Boston  for  Smyrna,  Nov.  3,  1819.  On 
his  arrival  in  Smyrna,  he  spent  some  time  in  perfecting  his 
knowledge  of  the  oriental  languages,  and  then  traveled  through 
Egypt,  Arabia,  Palestine  and  Syria,  preaching,  holding  confer- 
ence meetings  and  distributing  copies  of  the  Bible.  He  resided 
at  various  times  in  Jerusalem,  Damascus,  Antioch,  Alexandria 
and  Beyrut  where  he  died.  After  traveling  extensively  in 
Greece,  Egypt,  Palestine  and  Syria,  he  joined,  in  May,  1825, 
the  mission  already  established  at  Beyrut,  and  died  there  of 
fever  in  the  following  October.  Mr.  Fisk  was  eminently  fitted 
to  be  a  missionary  in  the  east,  as  he  preached  in  Italian,  French, 
Greek  and  Arabic.  On  the  day  of  his  death,  he  completed  an 
"English  and  Arabic  dictionary,"  and  wrote  numerous  papers 
for  the  "Missionary  Herald."  A  life  of  Pliny  Fisk  was  pub- 
lished by  Alvin  Bond  (Boston,  1828).

Apr.  18,  1813.  She  d.  Apr.  22,  1892.  John  R.  Whitney  was 
born  on  the  farm,  owned  and  occupied  by  him  till  his  death, 
about  one  mile  north  of  Wadham's  Mills.  His  father,  John 
Whitney,  was  one  of  the  pioneers  who  settled  that  region  early 
in  the  present  century,  coming  about  1808.  Among  these  set- 
tlers were  Benjamin  Whitney  and  Daniel  Safford,  who  married 
Sally  Whitney.  John  was  a  shoemaker  by  trade.  He  was  one 
of  the  pioneers  in  the  temperance  cause,  and  his  house,  still 
standing,  was  the  first  building  in  that  region  raised  without 
intoxicating  liquor  (1829).  He,  with  others,  responded  to  the 
call  for  the  militia  in  1812-14,  but  arrived  at  Plattsburg  too  late 
to  participate  in  the  fight.  Taken  away  ni  the  prime  of  life, 
1834,  he  left  an  honored  name  to  his  family.  After  the  death  of 
his  father,  John  Russell  Whitney  was  obliged  to  assume  the  care 
of  the  home,  and  lived  with  his  widowed  mother  several  years. 
He  was  married,  Mar.  3,  1840,  to  Elmina  E.  Fisk,  daughter 
of  Dea.  Moses  Fisk,  of  Waitsfield,  Vt.  Having  been  deprived 
of  educational  privileges  in  his  younger  days,  he  was  deter- 
m.ined  to  give  his  family  every  possible  advantage,  often  mak- 
ing great  sacrifices  to  secure  school  privileges  to  his  children; 
for  several  winters  he  had  a  family  school.  He  was  deeply 
interested  in  the  Congregational  church  at  Wadham's  Mills, 
of  which  he  became  a  member  at  the  early  age  of  fourteen. 
He  was  elected  deacon  about  1863,  to  fill  a  vacancy  caused 
by  the  death  of  the  senior  deacon,  and  held  this  ofifice  till  his 
death  in  1880.  He  was  especially  active  in  all  church  afifairs, 
and  did  much  for  the  maintenance  of  public  service.  Enjoying 
the  advantages  provided  for  them,  his  children  sought  to  im- 
prove themselves,  and  have  all  honored  the  name  and  memory 
of  their  parents.  Dea.  Whitney  passed  away  after  a  severe  and 
painful  illness  of  heart  disease.  He  d.  July  23,  1880;  res.  Wad-

563.  JUDGE  JONATHAN  FISKE  (William,  Ebenezer,  William,  William, 
John,  William,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Symond),  b.  Wenham,  Mass.,  May 
I,  1751;  m.  Nov.  26,  1772,  Mrs.  Mary  Bragg,  b.  1752,  d.  1826.  Jonathan  Fiske,  the 
eldest  son  of  William  Fiske,  Sr.,  of  Amherst,  established  himself  in  the  northwest 
parish  of  that  town,  since  known  as  Alt.  Vernon.  After  a  few  years  he  removed 
thence  to  Francestown,  N.  H.,  where  he  resided  several  years,  and  where  his 
younger  children  were  born.  In  1790  he  was  chosen  deacon  of  the  Congregational 
church  in  Francestown  and  officiated  in  that  capacity  until  1794,  when  in  September 
he  removed  to  Williamstown,  Vt.,  where  he  seems  to  have  in  time  acquired  pop- 
ularity and  social  influence,  to  have  been  again  elected  deacon  and  to  various  other 
offices,  which  he  filled  to  the  general  satisfaction  of  his  constituents. 

A  correspondent  writes:  "Judge  Fiske  was  a  justice  of  the  peace  and  town 
clerk  in  Williamstown  from  my  earliest  recollection  until  a  brief  period  before 
his  death,  and  as  such  made  public  all  the  marriages,  and  did  most  of  the  marry- 
ing. He  represented  that  town  in  the  state  legislature,  I  think,  over  twenty  years 
in  succession,  and  afterward  at  various  times.  He  was  also  judge  of  probate 
at  an  early  date,  and  continued  in  that  office  until  his  sight  failed  and  until  too  old 
and  otherwise  infirm  to  discharge  its  duties.  He  was  also  a  deacon  in  the  Congre- 
gational church  at  Williamstown  further  back  than  I  can  remember,  and  when  he 
died  his  mantle  fell  on  two  of  his  worthy  sons  now  living."  From  a  file  of  the 
Wenham  records  it  appears  that  Judge  Jonathan  Fiske  was  married  to  Mrs.  Mary 
Bragg  by  Rev.  Joseph  Swain  in  Dec,  1772.  They  were  the  parents  of  twelve  chil- 
dren, eight  sons  and  five  daughters,  all  of  whom  except  one  matured,  married,  and 
had  families,  and  all  excepting  three  lived  to  be  over  seventy  years  of  age.  Their 
grandchildren  number  upward  of  seventy,  fifty-three  of  whom  are  still  living 
(1867),  including  the  fourth  generation.  Their  living  descendants  will  probably 
reach  one  hundred  souls.  Judge  Fiske,  after  living  to  see  his  children  all  married 
and  comfortably  settled  in  life,  died  in  1825 — his  wife  the  following  year — both  at 
the  age  of  seventy-four.  Their  closing  days  were  spent  with  their  son,  Samuel, 
who  then  resided  in  Berlin,  Vt.,  and  after  their  deaths  their  remains  were  taken 
to  Northfield  for  burial.  The  sons,  Nathaniel,  William,  John,  Samuel,  and  daugh- 
ters Elizabeth  and  Anna  were  married  by  their  father  in  Williamstown,  where  most 
of  the  family  appear  to  have  originally  settled.  Some  of  them  afterward  removed 
to  Northfield,  where  a  number  of  their  descendants  yet  remain,  Amherst,  N.  H., 
is  situated  in  Hillsborough  County,  forty-seven  miles  from  Boston  and  twenty- 
eight  from  Concord,  the  state  capital.  The  town  had  its  origm  in  a  grant  of  the 
general  court  of  Massachusetts  to  the  surviving  officers  and  soldiers  of  the  Nar- 
ragansett  war  and  to  the  posterity  of  those  now  living.  The  claimants  had  seven 
towns  awarded  them.  Amherst  was  principally  settled  by  people  from  Wenham 
and  adjoining  towns  and  incorporated  in  1760.  In  1771  Amherst  became  the  shire 
town  of  Hillsborough  County,  and  after  many  years  was  one  of  the  most  flourir.h- 
ing  villages  in  the  state.  Its  residents  contained  many  people  who  later  attained 
prominence  in  the  state  and  nation,  among  the  number  being  President  Franklin 
Pierce,  Horace  Greeley  and  Daniel  Webster.

Frances,  born  in  1837.  He  resided  in  Chicago,  111.     His  daugh- 
ter Frances,  married  a  Mr.  Hall.     They  had  three  or  four  chil- 
dren.    Rev.    David   Worthington   in   early   life   identified   him- 
self with  the  M.  E.  Church,  and  at  the  early  age  of  twenty-two 
entered  upon  the  work  of  the  ministry.     His  labors  in  this  call- 
ing were  mostly  confined  to  the  limits  of  the  Iowa  conference, 
where  his  zeal  and  talents  soon  placed  him  in  the  front  rank 
of  the  clergy  of  that  state.     Several  years  since  Mr.  Worthmg- 
ton received  the  appointment  of  presiding  elder  for  Mt.  Pleas- 
?nt  district,  and  was  continued  in  that  position  until  his  death, 
by   consumption,    which   took   place   in   Mar.,    1866.     A   sound 
preacher,    and    a    devoted    evangelist,    he    went    to    his    grave 
according  to  his  wish  with  the  harness  on.     Mr.  Worthington 
was   twice   married,    and   left    four   children   by   his   first   wife, 
Arinda  Lee,  the  eldest  of  whom.  Jason,  died  while  in  the  service 
of  his   country   during   the   late   war.     Theodore  Worthington

family.

Apr.  20,  175s;  m.  Oct.  28,  1773,  Eunice  Nourse,  b.  May  2,  1752,  d.  Mar.  13,  1819; 
m.  2d,  Nov.  28,  1819,  Hannah  Walker  of  Concord,  N.  H.;  d.  Dec.  10,  1841.  Dea- 
con Francis  Nourse  of  Danvers,  Mass.,  whose  eldest  daughter,  Eunice,  and 
granddaughters  Abigail  and  Harriet  Nourse,  married  Amherst  Fiskes,  was  a  lineal 
descendant  of  Francis  and  Rebecca  Nourse,  original  settlers  in  Salem,  Mass. 
Francis  Nourse  died  in  1695,  aged  ^y  years;  his  wife,  Rebecca,  July  19,  1692 — one 
of  the  sad  victims  of  the  Salem  witchcraft.  The  jury — Capt.  Thomas  Fiske,  fore- 
man   "were  compelled  to  convict,  against  their  better  judgment  and  belief, 

through  the  singular  infatuation  and  perversity  of  the  judges."  In  Apr.,  1779,  Mr. 
Fiske  located  himself  and  wife  on  a  farm  situated  on  the  turnpike  leading  from 
Amherst  village  to  Bedford,  and  for  some  years  occupied  a  small  tolling  house. 
His  farm  was  limited  in  extent  and  his  land  rough  and  rocky.  Mr.  Fiske  and 
wife  became  members  of  the  Congregational  Church  in  Amherst,  Nov.  6,  1776, 
and  lived  exemplary  Christian  lives  to  the  day  of  their  death.  Besides  having 
for  some  years  command  of  the  military  company,  Mr.  Fiske  was  in  Mar.,  1792, 
elected  town  clerk  of  Amherst  and  re-elected  every  year  in  succession  for  twenty 
years.  In  Mar.,  1794,  he  was  chosen  chairman  of  the  board  of  selectmen  of 
Amherst  and  held  that  office  till  1815,  twenty-one  consecutive  years.  He  was 
chosen  representative  of  the  town  at  the  general  court  in  1798-99,  1804-5-6-7-8-9. 
He  was  elected  state  senator  for  the  Seventh  senatorial  district  in  1810-11-12-13. 
He  was  then  appointed  one  of  the  justices  of  the  court  of  common  pleas  of  the 
county  of  Hillsborough,  but  a  remodeling  of  the  courts  by  the  state  soon  after  by 
legislature   (a  political   change  occurring  in   that  body),   by  which  all  the  judges 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  137 

were  displaced  to  make  room  for  new  favorites,  prevented  his  accepting  the 
appointment.  In  1815  he  was  appointed  United  States  Assessor  of  direct  taxes 
for  the  county  of  Hillsborough.  In  1824  he  was  chosen  one  of  the  electors  of 
president  and  vice-president,  and  cast  his  vote  for  John  Quincy  Adams.  Having 
attained  the  good  old  age  of  three  score  and  ten,  he  then  retired  from  public  life, 
and  spent  the  remainder  of  his  days  in  the  quiet  of  home  where  he  died.  He  was 
twice  married.  His  first  wife  was  Eunice  Nourse  and  the  mother  of  his  children. 
A  few  years  after  he  married  iMiss  Hannah,  daughter  of  James  Walker,  Esq.,  of 
Concord,  N.  H.,  but  had  no  children  by  her.  In  personal  appearance  Mr.  Fiske 
was  rather  commanding,  being  six  ■  feet  in  height  and  well  proportioned.  His 
features  were  strongly  molded  and  intellectual.  Of  Puritan  descent,  he  was  in 
principles,  habits  and  manners  a  Puritan  of  the  straitest  sect,  rendered  straiter 
perhaps  by  his  severe  and  excessive  labors.  In  his  family  and  on  his  farm  his 
right  to  rule  no  subordinate  ever  presumed  to  question.  By  his  strict  yet  judi- 
cious exercise  of  authority  his  children  were  trained  to  admirable  obedience. 
The  homestead  in  which  Hon.  William  Fiske  resided  was  erected  in  1795,  and  was 
ranked  among  the  finest  and  most  desirable  in  that  section.  It  is  located  two  and 
a  half  miles  northeasterly  from  Amherst  on  the  old  stage  road  between  that  place 
and  Manchester  and  Concord.  To  the  south  lies  Walnut  Hill,  200  feet  high,  to 
the  north  Chestnut  Hills  flanking  them  on  the  right  and  left  and  at  a  distance  of 
from  three  to  five  miles  tower  the  granite  peaks  of  "Joe  English"  and  "Uncanoo- 
nucks"  and  southeast  Babboosack  Pond.     He  d.  June  4,  1831;  res.  Amherst,  N.  H.

eleven  years  of  age,  and  resided  in  that  place  until  his  majority.  Owing  to  the 
reduced  circumstances  of  the  family,  caused  by  the  bankruptcies  of  his  father's 
brother-in-law  (White),  for  whom  his  father  had  largely  endorsed.  Eben  lost  the 
opportunity  for  enjoying  educational  privileges.  He,  however,  inherited  a  re- 
markable physical  frame  and  strong  intellect,  and  possessed  good  sterling 
qualities  and  an  indomitable  will.  Many  and  remarkable  are  the  feats  of  strength 
recorded  of  him  when  in  the  prime  of  his  powers,  while  his  excellent  common 
sense  and  well-known   integrity  made  him  a  counselor  among  his   fellow  towns-

men  in  Mt.  Vernon,  where  he  subsequently  resided  and  for  many  years  filled 
various  local  offices.  In  1782  he  married  Abigail  Woodbury,  born  in  Beverly, 
Mass.,  March  7,  1766,  and  second  daughter  of  James  Woodbury  of  Mt.  Vernon. 
N.  H.,  near  Amherst,  to  which  place  he  at  once  removed.  Miss  Woodbury  was  of 
an  excellent  family,  and  a  relative  of  Judge  Levi  Woodbury  of  Portsmouth,  N.  H., 
a  farmer  of  the  state  and  secretary  of  the  United  States  Treasury  under  President 
Jackson.  Mr.  Fiske,  like  the  most  of  his  ancestors,  was  blessed  with  a  large 
family,  six  sons  and  six  daughters,  all  of  whom,  except  a  son  who  died  in  infancy, 
lived  to  mature  age. 

All  of  these  except  the  two  last  were  born  in  Mt.  Vernon.  After  residing  for 
some  years  in  this  place,  Mr.  Fiske  removed  to  Warner,  N.  H.,  where  he  pur- 
chased a  farm,  and  later  located  on  a  farm  on  the  "Wilmot  Flat"  in  Wilmot,  N.  H. 
Later  in  life  he  moved  to  the  hills  in  the  northwestern  part  of  the  town,  called 
North  Wilmot,  and  near  wnere  a  meeting  house  afterward  stood.  Here  he  and 
the  wife  of  his  youth  grew  old  together,  sustained  and  cheered  by  the  consola- 
tions of  the  gospel,  and  by  the  tender  love  and  care  of  their  son,  Calvin,  who,  with 
most  filial  affection,  watched  over  and  cared  for  them  to  the  day  of  their  death. 
Ebenezer  Fiske  was  a  man  of  decided  and  conscientious  and  fixed  and  exemplary 
principles,  and  the  resolute  energy  and  courage  that  always  rises  superior  to  the 
difficulties  of  the  occasion.  During  the  most  of  his  life  he  was  a  member  and 
deacon  of  the  Congregational  Church.     He  d.  May  8,  1838;  res.  Wilmot,  N.  H.

Ephraim  Fisk  w^as  born  in  Scituate,  R.  I.  He  early  rem.oved  to  Killingly, 
Conn.,  where  he  afterward  resided.  He  was  a  prominent  citizen,  deacon  for  a 
number  of  terms,  and  held  a  number  of  important  offices,  and  was  respected  and 
esteemed  in  the  community  where  he  lived.  He  was  married  twice.  By  his  first 
wife  he  had  six  children,  four  being  born  at  one  time.  The  children  all  lived,  but 
the  mother  died.  By  his  second  wife,  ten  children.  He  died  above  80  years  old, 
greatly  respected;  he  was  a  man  of  superior  physical  and  mental  abilities,  and  like 
his  brother  Isaac,  was  known  as  a  peacemaker  in  society. 

Upon  the  alarm  following  the  capture  of  Fort  William  Henry  by  Montcalm, 
four  volunteer  companies  marched  from  Windham  County  commanded  by  Abner 
Baker,  Ashford;  John  Carpenter,  Woodstock;  Isaac  Coit,  Plainfiield;  John  Gros- 
vener,  Pomfret.  These  volunteers  were  mostly  men  advanced  in  life,  the  fathers 
of  the  towns,  showing  that  most  of  the  men  were  already  in  service.  Among  the 
number  was  Ephraim  Fiske.

624.  JUDGE  ISAAC  FISKE  (Joseph,  Samuel,  Joseph,  William,  John,  Will- 
iam, Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Symond),  b.  Johnston,  R.  I.,  June  15,  1757; 
m.  there  in  1775,  Marcy  Fenner,  dau.  of  Richard,  b.  Feb.  24,  1758,  d.  July  7,  1820. 
He  was  born  on  the  old  homestead  in  Johnston,  R.  I.,  and  received  an  ex- 
cellent education  for  those  early  days.  Before  he  had  obtained  his  majority  he  en- 
listed in  the  Continental  Army  under  Gen.  Greene,  of  Rhode  Island.  He  was  sta- 
tioned at  Prospect  Hill  in  Cambridge,  not  far  from  Bunker  Hill  in  Charlestown. 
His  grandson,  Geo.  R.  Fiske,  Esq.,  of  Roxbury,  has  two  letters  of  his  written  the 
time  he  was  in  the  army.  One  is  dated  Sept.  3,  1775,  and  the  other  Oct.  26,  1775, 
which  he  sent  to  his  father,  Joseph  Fiske. 

This  is  the  inventory  of  his  estate:  1824,  Aug  14  Inventory  of  Isaac  Fiske' 
$1303.40  viz.  carding  machine,  turning  lath,  linen  wheel,  wooden  wheel,  quilt  wheel, 
cash  $38.50,  silver  watch,  cooper's  tools,  blacksmith's  tools,  pepper  mill,  coffee 
mill,  white  horse,  2  cows,  i  heifer,  chaise,  writing  desk,  2^  stacks  rye,  4  stacks 
clover,  clover  in  barn,  $100.  It  is  evident  that  he  left  home  against  the  will  of 
his  parents,  or  certainly  not  with  their  approval,  for  he  says  he  will  not  enlist 
again  when  his  time  is  up.  He  was  then  18  yrs.  old,  and  the  letters  are  very 
pathetic,  showing  the  lack  of  almost  everything  among  the  troops,  especially  am- 
munition. I  have  also  another  letter  of  his  written  five  years  later,  when  he  was 
very  active  in  religious  matters,  probably  had  become  a  member  of  the  Society  of 
Friends,  which  he  certainly  was  later  on.  In  later  life  he  was  always  called  Judge 
Fiske;  twenty  years  Judge  of  Probate  and  later  Judge  of  the  Court  of  Common 
Pleas,  and  the  high  estimation  in  which  he  was  held  by  his  neighbors.  "My  father 
once  took  me  to  the  graves  of  his  father  and  mother,  when  I  was  a  lad  of  about 
ten  years,  and  I  well  remember  with  what  great  respect  he  spoke  of  his  father  and 
mother."

June  23,  1723,  a  precinct  was  erected,  extending  three  miles  into  Worcester, 
three  into  Oxford,  three  into  Leicester,  and  one  mile  and  a  half  into  Sutton, 
measured  from  the  place  designated  for  the  new  meeting  house,  along  the  roads 
then  traveled.  This  district,  which  was  denominated  the  South  Parish  of  Wor- 
cester, was  incorporated  April  10,  1778,  as  the  town  of  Ward,  receiving  its  name 
from  Artemus  Ward,  Esq.,  a  brave  general  of  the  Revolution,  member  of  the 
council  of  the  Provincial  Congress,  judge  of  the  County  Courts,  and  representative 
in  Congress.  About  thirty  families  were  thus  separated  from  Worcester.  The 
boundaries  of  the  parish  and  new  town  were  nearly,  though  not  precisely,  coinci- 
dent. The  act  provided  that  certain  individuals  included  by  the  latter,  but  not 
within  the  limits  of  the  former,  might  retain  their  relations  to  the  towns  of  their 
original  settlement,  until  it  was  their  pleasure  to  express  in  writing,  intention  to 
unite  with  the  new  corporation.  Ten  persons  by  this  exception  were  permitted  to 
continue  their  former  connections,  and  among  this  number  was  Jonathan  Fiske. 

He  d.  in  Worcester  and  was  buried  there  Jan.  8,  1781;  res.  Worcester  and

following:  October  2nd,  1785,  baptized  four  children  of  Daniel  Fisk  and  wife,  their 
names  Abijah,  Amos,  Moses  &  Lydia. 

"January  i6th,  1788,  Buried  Sarah  wife  of  Daniel  Fisk  in  the  45th  year  of  her 
age. 

"November  30th,  1799.  Daniel  Fisk  aged  69  he  died  Thanksgiving  Day  the 
28th;  going  to  public  worship  he  was  seized  with  a  pain  in  his  stomach,  he  had 
strength  to  return,  and  leave  his  body  in  his  own  house. 

"I  think,  however,  this  which  has  been  recorded  leaves  no  doubt  but  that  he 
was  a  member  of  the  church,  as  it  has  not  been  customary  to  baptize  children  of 
those  outside  the  church.  Neither  would  there  be  any  likelihood  of  the  records 
of  his  wife's  death,  nor  of  his  own." 

In  1790,  Daniel  Fisk  of  Wendell  conveyed  land  in  Wendell.  In  1792,  Daniel 
Fisk  of  New  Salem  had  land  in  Wendell  conveyed  to  him.  In  1793,  Daniel  Fisk 
of  Deerfield  conveyed  land  in  Deerfield.  In  1794,  Daniel  Fisk  3d  of  Wendell  had 
land  in  Wendell  conveyed  to  him.  In  1798,  Daniel  of  Wendell  conveyed  land  in 
Wendell. 

These  are  the  earliest  records  on  the  Franklin  County  Registry  of  Deeds. 
Still  earlier  records  of  that  county  are  in  Springfield,  where,  pe-haps,  might  find

646.  CAPT.  ASA  FISK  (David,  John,  John,  Nathaniel,  Nathaniel,  William, 
Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Symond),  b.  Windham,  Conn.,  May  26,  1733;  m. 
there  Mar.  19,  1755,  Elisabeth  Knight  of  Norwich,  Conn.,  dau.  of  Joseph  and  Eliz- 
abeth (Tracy)  Knight.  She  d.  Mar.  6,  1818.  Capt.  Asa  Fisk  emigrated  to  Wales 
from  Hampton,  Conn.,  thereafter  abode  and  died  there;  when  first  he  came  or  soon 
after  he  acquired  the  ownership  of  the  premises  constituting  and  connecting  with 
the  "Oliver  Wales  Tavern  Stand."  There  he  dwelt,  and  for  some  time  kept  an 
inn  or  house  of  public  entertainment.  Subsequently  he  disposed  of  that  estate 
and  purchased  a  large  tract  of  land  in  the  southern  part  of  the  town,  upon  which 
he  established  and  through  after  life  maintained  his  family  home.  That  tract  was 
upon  the  elevated  ground  or  high  land  situated  a  little  distance  off  the  direct 
road  to  Stafford  in  our  approachment  of  Stafford  line.  That  elevation  received 
from  him  the  significant  name  of  Fisk  Hill.  His  old  premises,  or  rather  the  cen- 
tral and  main  part  thereof,  are  now  owned  by  Moses  Davis,  and  dwelt  upon  by 
him,  and  derive  from  him  their  modern  name  of  Davis  Place.  He  possessed 
much  strength  and  penetration  of  mind,  solidity  of  judgment  and  inflexibleness 
of  purpose  mixed  up  with  some  of  the  spirit  of  domination  and  arbitrariness.  As 
an  agriculturist  he  was  judicious,  skillful,  thoroughgoing.  As  a  townsman,  he  was 
prominent,  conspicuous,  influential.  As  a  military  officer,  he  was  manly  and 
commanding  in  his  mien,  well  informed  in  tactics,  resolute  and  efficient  in  dis- 
cipline. One  occurrence  in  his  life  opened  a  doorway  through  which  to  question 
his  patriotism:  In  the  time  of  "Shay's  war"  he  took  sides  with  the  party  opposed 
to  the  government  and  was  appointed  a  captaincy  in  the  opposing  and  rebellmg 
forces,  but  as  he  had  enough  of  that  "better  part  of  valor,"  discretion,  to  restrain 
him  from  the  commission  of  any  overt  act  of  rebellion,  he  finally  got  out  of  the 
scrape  without  being  overwhelmed  or  greatly  damaged  thereby.  All  things  con- 
sidered, Capt.  Fisk  must  be  set  down  as  a  very  good  man  for  this  town.  Let  us 
not  be  found  undervaluing  his  virtue,  says  the  Wales  historian:  "Elizabeth, 
Fidelity  is  compelling  us  to  say  her  virtues  were  many  and  must  be  unforgot." 
Another  correspondent  says:  He  kept  a  country  store  on  the  hill  where  he 
lived,  and  that  he  owned  in  his  farm  400  acres,  and  that  Shay's  war  cost  him 
considerable  property.  Also  that  he  sent  two  sons,  aged  14  and  16,  to  the  Revolu- 
tionary war.  My  grandfather  Elisha  was  one.  Both  were  drummers.  The  com- 
pany that  they  were  in  arrived  at  Cornwallis  surrender  one  hour  after  the  sur- 
render. He  was  lieutenant  in  the  company  of  minute  men  \yhich  marched  to  the 
Lexington  alarm,  and  was  afterward  and  for  some  time  captain  in  the  Continental 
army.     His  gravestone  is  as  follows:

He  was  born  in  Watertown,  and  with  his  brother,  Lieut.  Henry,  became  an 
early  resident  and  one  of  the  first  proprietors  of  Sturbridge;  was  elected  deacon 
of  the  church  and  held  many  town  offices,  selectman,  assessor,  etc.  His  will  is 
dated  Mar.  14,  1778,  and  is  on  record  in  the  Worcester  Probate  office  (see  Bar- 
bour Hist.  Collections  of  Massachusetts). 

Henry  and  Daniel  Fisk  went  from  Watertown,  Mass.,  to  New  Medfield,  later 
called  Sturbridge,  Alass.,  and  commenced  a  settlement  on  what  is  now  called  Fisk- 
hill,  in  the  year  1731.  While  clearing  m  the  timber  one  day  they  heard  some  one 
chopping  on  the  other  side  of  the  Quinnebog  river.  They  did  not  know  of  any 
white  man  being  near  them,  so  they  went  to  the  bank  of  the  river  and  shouted 
until  a  man  replied  and  came  to  the  opposite  bank  and  said  his  name  was  Hyde. 
Daniel  Fisk  proposed  to  make  a  bridge  so  they  could  cross  over  and  become 
acquainted,  so  Fisk  and  Hyde  felled  a  tree  from  each  bank  of  the  river  and  the  tops 
locked  together  so  thnt  persons  could  cross,  for  a  number  of  years,  and  was  there- 
fore of  great  convenience  to  the  people.  When  high  water  came  this  bridge  would 
stir,  or  move  down  the  river,  therefore  when  they  named  the  town  they  named  it 
Sturbridge,  after  the  above  described  bri.dge.  Two  joining  towns  are  called  North- 
bridge  and  Southbridge.  The  Fisks  also  named  Fiskhill,  Fiskdale  and  Fiskfac- 
tories,  all  of  which  they  once  owned  and  occupied. 

Daniel  Fisk  kept  -i  record  of  Remarkable  Events,  and  in  that  book,  among 
others,  is  found:  Rcn-arcable  Dark  Day  May  19th  1780 — Baptist  Meeting  House 
raised  on  Fiskhill,  Sturbridge,  Mass.,  June  3d,  1784— Terrible  Huricane  Aug.

soldier  in  the  Rev.  war.  8  ch.,  one  Dolly,  b.  Dec.  25,  1788:  m. 
Hon.  William  Earned  Marcy.  He  was  born  Dec.  12.  1786,  in 
Southbridge,  Mass.,  and  died  in  JBallston  Spa.,  N.  Y.,  July  4, 
1857.  He  was  graduated  at  Brown  in  1808,  and  studied  law 
in  Troy,  N.  Y.  Was  later  admitted  to  the  bar  there  and  at 
once  began  the  practice  of  his  profession.  In  the  war  of  1812 
he  served  as  First  Lieutenant  and  achieved  distinction  by 
capturing  the  Canadian  forces,  being  the  first  prisoners  taken 
on  land,  and  their  flag  was  the  first  captured  in  the  war.  At 
the  close  of  the  war  he  had  attained  the  rank  of  Captain,  and 
returned  to  the  practice  of  the  law.  He  held  minor  political 
city  offices,  was  at  one  time  editor  of  the  "Troy  Budget."  In 
1821  he  was  appointed  Adj.  Gen.  of  the  State  Militia  by  Gov. 
Van  Buren.  In  1823  he  was  comptroller  of  the  State,  and  in 
1829  he  was  appointed  one  of  the  associate  justices  of  the  Su- 
preme Court  of  New  York.  One  of  the  most  important 
cases  before  him  was  the  trial  of  the  alleged  murderers  of 
William  Morgan,  of  anti-masonic  fame.  He  continued  on  the 
bench  until  1831,  when  he  was  elected  to  the  United  States 
Senate.  He  resigned  in  1833  to  become  Governor  of  the  State 
of  New  York,  which  office  he  held  for  three  terms,  imtil  1839. 
In  1840  he  was  appointed  bj'  President  Van  Buren  one  of  the 
commisssioners  to  decide  upon  the  claims  against  the  govern- 
ment of  Mexico.  Upon  the  election  of  James  K.  Polk  as  Pres- 
ident, he  was  appointed  Secretary  of  War,  which  position  he 
filled  with  great  credit  President  Pierce  selected  him  as  Sec- 
retary of  State.  At  the  close  of  Pierce's  administration  he 
returned  to  private  life,  and  four  months  afterward  he  was 
found  dead  one  evening  in  his  library  with  an  open  volume 
before  him.  Mr.  Marcy  had  the  reputation  of  being  a  shrewd 
politician  and  tactician,  and  probably  has  never  been  sur- 
passed in  this  respect  by  any  one  in  New  York  except  ^lartin 
Van  Buren.  He  was  regarded  among  his  countrjMnen  of  all 
parties  as  a  statesman  of  the  highest  order  of  administrative 
and  diplomatic  ability.

Apr.  17,  1715;  m.  at  Willington,  Conn.,  Aug.  5,  1742,  Prudence  Farley;  m.  2d, 
(published)  June  26,  1758,  Anna  (Bradish)  Green,  of  Hardwick.  He  was  bap- 
tized in  Weston,  Mass.,  with  his  brother.  His  father  and  his  mother,  whose 
maiden  name  was  Eunice  Jennings,  moved  to  Willington,  Conn.,  where  her 
brother,  Stephen  Jennings,  had  previously  located  on  a  large  tract  of  land. 
Stephen  married  his  first  wife  in  Connecticut,  and  resided  in  Willington,  where 
he  was  town  clerk  for  nine  years,  from  1744  to  1753  inclusive.  After  her  death 
he  married  a  second  wife  in  Hardwick,  Mass.,  and  located  in  Greenwich,  Mass., 
where  he  died.  He  resided  in  that  part  now  Enfield,  and  was  town  clerk  from 
1758  to  1763. 

Rev.  Lucius  R.  Paige,  of  Cambridgeport,  Mass.,  who  wrote  the  History  of 
Hardwick,  Mass.,  writes,  "on  page  386  of  that  work  it  is  suggested  that  Annie 
Green  may  have  been  the  widow  of  John  Green,  and  the  mother  of  two  children 
by  him."  John  Green  was  the  son  of  Thomas,  and  was  born  in  Shrewsbury,  Mass., 
Mar.  2,  1726.  He  m.  Anna  Bradish  Dec.  7,  1751.  She  was  b.  June  6,  1729,  the  dau. 
of  Dea.  James  and  Damaris  (Rice)  Bradish  (see  Conant  Genealogy,  -Hist,  of 
Hardwick  and  Hist,  of  Shrewsbury).  Stephen  and  his  second  wife  were  married 
in  Hardwick,  he  of  Greenwich  and  she  of  that  town  in  Worcester  County.  There 
is  a  tradition  in  the  family  that  Stephen's  widow  was  married  to  a  Mr.  Chase,  for 
her  second  husband.  This,  I  think,  is  incorrect,  for  at  Warwick,  Mass.,  Jan.  16, 
1770,  the  intention  of  marriage  of  Ezra  Conant  and  Anna  Fisk  (Stephen's  widow) 
was  published.     She  died  in  Vermont,  and  lived  to  be  nearly  100  years  old 

A  descendant  in  writing  of  her  says  this:  "My  grandfather  Fisks  Mother, 
died  in  Claremont  N.  H.  over  one  hundred  years  old.  Dont  know  the  date,  but 
have  heard  my  Father  say  so.  When  she  was  well  along  in  life,  and  a  widow,  she 
married  Mr  Chase  then  a  widower,  and  an  old  man  Father  of  Bishop  Philemon 
Chase,  Dudley  Chase,  U.  S.  Senator  from  Vt.  and  Ithamar  Chase,  who  was 
father  of  Salmon  B  Chase,  the  famous  member  of  Lincolns  Cabinet."  Ezra 
Conant  married  for  his  first  wife  in  Dudley,  Mass.,  Jan.  i.  1745,  Melicent  Newell, 
b.   Dec.    19,   1725,   d.  July,    1769.     He  married  Mrs.   Anna  Fisk  at  Warwick.     In

1772  Anna  Conant,  formerly  Fisk,  guardian  of  Stephen  and  James  Fisk,  sons  of 
Stephen  Fisk,  late  of  Greenwich,  Mass.,  in  Hampshire  County,  petitions  to  sell 
land  of  her  late  husband.  (Cheshire  Co.  Court  Records,  Ezra  Conant,  Dec.  7, 
1804). 

The  children  of  Ezra  and  Anna  were:  i,  Anna,  b.  May  26,  1771;  m.  Sept.  13, 
1791,  Charles  Conant,  at  Warwick,  Mass.  2,  Clark,  b.  June  23,  1773,  at  Warwick, 
Mass.  Anna  (Green)  (Fisk)  Conant,  when  very  old,  used  to  ride  from  Claremont, 
N.  H.,  horseback,  some  50  or  60  miles,  to  East  Randolph,  to  visit  her  son  Stephen, 
and  always  before  going  home  again  used  to  ride  on  horseback  also  three  or  four 
miles  up  to  Randolph  Centre  Village,  to  see  Dudley  Chase,  who  lived  there.  Dud- 
ley was  uncle  to  Judge  Salmon  P.  Chase.  Another  brother  of  Dudley's  was  70  years 
ago,  or  more,  an  Episcopal  clergyman,  Philemon,  having  a  little  wooden  church, 
quite  secluded,  on  the  edge  of  the  town  of  Bethel,  some  three  miles  up  stream 
toward  West  Randolph,  from  Bethel  Village.  This  Philemon  Chase  became  first 
Episcopal  bishop  of  Ohio.  With  him  in  Ohio  lived  for  awhile  his  afterward 
famous  nephew,  when  a  boy,  Salmon  P. 

The  Hampshire,  Mass.,  probate  records  show  that  April  7,  1767,  Capt  Jeremiah 
Powers  was  appointed  guardian  of  Rufus  Fisk  a  minor  under  14  years,  on  July 
7,  1767,  said  Powers  resigned  his  trust  for  the  reason  that  said  Rufus  was  living 
in  the  Colony  of  Connecticut,  on  the  7th  of  April  1767  said  Powers  was  ap- 
pointed guardian  of  Olive  Fisk  and  Mary  Fisk  minors  over  14  years  old,  and 
on  the  6  of  November  1764  Anna  Fisk  was  appointed  guardian  of  Stephen  Fisk 
and  James  Fisk  minors  under  the  age  of  14  years  all  said  minors  are  children  of 
Stephen  Fisk.

Simon,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Symond),  b.  Lexington,  Dec.  25,  1752;  m.  July  31, 
1794,  Elizabeth  Stone,  b.  Nov.  13,  1770,  d.  Mar.  6,  1842.  He  was  a  young  man  at 
the  battle  of  Lexington,  not  quite  twenty-three  years  of  age.  He  assisted  his 
father  who  was  also  a  doctor  and  whose  name  was  the  same,  to  dress  the  wounded 
soldiers  on  that  day.  He  studied  medicine  and  surgery  with  his  father,  and  in 
later  years  with  Dr.  John  Warren  and  his  son,  Surgeon  J.  C.  Warren.  He  was  led 
by  his  patriotic  spirit  to  accept  the  commission  of  surgeon's  mate  in  Col.  Vose  in 
the  First  Massachusetts  of  Foot  in  1777.  He  was  made  full  surgeon  Apr.  17,  1779, 
and  served  in  the  Continental  army  seven  years.  He  was  present  at  the  surrender 
of  Burgoyne  in  1777  and  of  Cornwallis  in  1781,  and  of  other  intermediate  battles. 
Rev.  A.  B.  Muzzey  in  his  "Reminiscences  of  Men  of  the  Revolution,"  speaks  of 
him:  "He  was  frequently  at  my  father's  house  and  was  very  agreeable.  I  drank 
in  greedily  his  accounts  given  to  my  grandfather,  who  was  with  him  in  the  com- 
pany of  Capt.  John  Parker  Apr.  19,  1775,  and  of  his  experience  as  a  surgeon  in 
the  army.  It  was  a  time  when  all  shared  in  the  common  privations.  Gen.  Wash- 
ington would  sit  down  with  his  highest  officers  to  a  small  piece  of  beef  with  a  few 
potatoes  and  some  hard  bread — a  single  dish  of  wood  or  pewter  sufficed  for  a  mess, 
with  a  horn  spoon  and  tumbler  passed  around,  and  the  knife  was  carried  in  the 
pocket.  Sugar,  tea  and  coffee  were  unknown  luxuries,  and  if  a  ration  of  rum  was 
given  out — this  was  in  the  dead  of  winter — the  question  would  be  raised  "Shall  we 
drink  it  or  put  it  in  our  shoes  to  keep  our  feet  from  freezing?"  During  the  pur- 
suit of  Cornwallis  the  soldiers  had  not  decent  clothing,  and  an  old  cloak,  they  not 
having  a  blanket  left,  was  shared  with  two  other  officers.  Dr.  Fiske  would  cor- 
roborate in  my  hearing  accounts  of  the  need  of  medicine  and  comforts  for  the 
wounded — wine,  spirits  and  even  the  ordinary  medicine  could  not  be  procured. 
Even  after  searching  miles  nothing  of  the  kind  could  be  found  except  small  por- 
tions of  snake-root,  and  as  for  bandages  the  case  was  still  worse.  Nothing  of  the 
kind  could  be  found  for  their  supply  but  to  cut  up  a  tent  found  on  the  field.  He 
used  to  relate  mirthful  stories  about  the  French  officers  and  soldiers  around 
Yorktown.  Surgeon  Fiske  was  one  of  the  original  founders  of  the  Middlesex 
Medical  Association,  afterward  and  now  the  Massachusetts  Medical  Society, 
one  of  the  original  members  of  the  Cincinnati.  His  son  took  his  place  in  the 
society  at  his  death,  and  after  the  son's  death  it  reverted  to  his  grandson,  who  is 
the  eldest.  Dr.  Fiske  was  also  a  member  of  the  Bunker  Hill  Monument  Associa- 
tion. Dr.  Fiske  practiced  his  profession  nearly  forty  years  in  Lexington  after 
the  close  of  the  war,  and  was  very  skillful  in  his  treatment  of  the  small-pox,  and 
he  was  among  the  foremost  doctors  to  make  use  of  vaccination,  his  old  friend. 
Dr.  Benj.  Waterhouse,  bringing  it  from  Europe,  from  the  discoverer,  Jenner.  Dr. 
Fiske  held  many  town  offices,  having  been  town  clerk  and  justice  of  the  peace 
manv  years. 

From  the  Revolutionary  War  records  it  is  learned  that  Joseph  Fisk  was  a 
second  lieutenant  in  the  Continental  army  from  June  i  to  Dec.  31,  1776;  surgeon's 
mate  June  i,  1777;  surgeon  Apr.  17,  1779,  and  served  as  such  to  the  close  of  the 
war.     He  d.  Sept.  25,  1837;  res.  Lexington,  Mass.

He  was  probably  a  farmer,  and  may  have  been  a  physician.  He  was  very  well 
educated  for  those  early  days,  and  by  the  death  of  his  father,  at  an  early  age,  was 
left  largely  upon  his  own  resources.  He  visited  his  brother  Cotton  on  one  occa- 
sion while  the  latter  was  residing  in  Bolton,  Canada.  The  tradition  in  the  family 
is  that  after  his  visit  he  started  for  the  west  with  considerable  money  in  his  pos- 
session, and  that  was  the  last  his  Canadian  relatives  ever  heard  from  him.  He 
married  his  first  wife  probably  in  New  Hampshire  and  his  children  were  brought 
up  by  her.  While  living  in  Chester,  Vt.,  he  married  his  second  wife,  and  after  his 
death,  on  Oct.  7,  1816,  she  was  married  in  Chester,  Vt.,  to  Dr.  Artemas  Robbins

Henry  Butler,  b.  Apr.  27,  1754;  d.  July  20,  1813.  She  d.  Jan.  17, 
1808.  He  served  in  war  of  the  Revolution.  Was  Captain  of  a 
volunteer  company  and  went  to  West  Point.  He  was  after- 
wards Major  General  of  the  first  division  of  the  N.  H.  militia, 
which  office  he  held  for  many  years.  General  Butler  was  the 
first  postmaster  of  Nottingham;  he  was  a  prominent  Mason. 
He  filled  many  offices  of  trust  and  honor  in  the  State  and 
was  highly  esteemed  for  his  usefulness  as  a  citizen  and  his 
integrity  as  a  man.  His  wife  was  the  dau.  of  Dr.  Ebenezer  Fisk 
of  Epping  and  grand  dau.  of  Rev.  Ward  Cotton  of  Boston, 
the  first  settled  ordained  minister  in  Hampton,  N.  H.  Mrs. 
Cotton's  maiden  name  was  Joanna  Rand.  After  Rev.  Cotton's 
decease  she  married  Capt.  Jonathan  Gilman  of  Exeter,  and  after 
his  death  she  m.  Dea.  Ezekiel  Morrill  of  Canterbury,  and 
after  his  death  Dea.  Joseph  Baker  of  Canterbury,  where  they 
res.  until  his  death,  when  she  moved  to  Nottingham  and 
resided  with  her  grand  dau.  Isabella  Fisk  Butler,  and  after  her 
death  she  continued  to  reside  with  Gen.  Butler  until  her  own 
death  Feb.  25,  181 1,  aged  93.  Rev.  Peter  Holt  of  Epping 
oflticiated  at  the  funeral.  Mrs.  Baker,  or  "Grandmother 
Baker"  as  she  was  called  was  a  lady  of  remarkable  attraction, 
much  personal  beauty  and  ready  wit.  She  never  weighed  over 
100  pounds  during  her  life  and  it  is  said  never  suffered  from 
sickness  until  at  the  time  of  her  death.  Her  talent  at  enter- 
taining friends  and  her  readiness  at  repartee  are  proverbial.  At 
one  time  during  the  last  year  of  her  life  a  remark  of  surprise 
was  made  that  she  had  never  used  spectacles  of  any  kind,  her 
reply  was  that  she  "might  need  them  if  she  lived  to  be  old 
enough."  Ch.:  i,  Elizabeth,  b.  July  29.  1777;  d.  July  12,  1808;  2,

July  19,  1789:  d.  Jan.  16,  1814,  he  enlisted  as  a  soldier  in 
the  war  of  1812  in  the  company  under  command  of  Capt.  John 
Butler,  a  cousin  of  his  father's.  Samuel  was  soon  made 
First  Sergeant  and  clerk  of  his  company  and  stationed  at  Bur- 
lington, Vt.  While  there  on  duty  he  was  ordered  with  eighteen 
men  under  his  command,  to  detect  smugglers  who  were  feed- 
ing the  army  in  Canada,  and  while  in  the  town  of  Highgate, 
near  the  Canada  line  they  met  a  company  of  the  enemy's  in- 
fantry from  the  Dominion  escorting  owners  with  a  large  lot 
of  cattle.  A  fight  ensued  in  which  Sergt.  Butler  and  men  were 
victorious.  The  British  were  routed,  many  cattle  taken  and 
driven  several  miles  to  a  bivouac  where  the  British  infantry, 
re-enforced  by  cavalry  came  upon  them.  The  result  was  the 
killing  of  four  of  Sergt.  Butler's  men,  while  he  received  three 
mortal  wounds  and  a  broken  leg:  yet  he  disdained  the  summons 
to  surrender  and  with  his  pistols  and  sword  killed  two  of  the 
enemy  before  they  could  take  him.  He  never  surrendered. 
Though  weak  and  bleeding,  the  strength  of  his  intellect  and  the 
power  of  his  courage  so  controlled  his  enemies  that,  as  was 
afterwards  said  by  one  of  them.  "We  were  afraid  of  him  after 
we  had  him."  and  another  in  soeaking  of  him  said.  "We  all 
acted  like   cowards   before  him."     He   refused  to   receive   any

services  from  the  British  surgeons  and  as  was  said  died  a  few 
hours  after  the  fight,  his  intellect  all  the  while  being  perfectly 
clear.  His  body  was  taken  to  Burlington  and  buried.  His 
death  was  much  lamented  by  officers  and  men.  8  and  g.

1774;  m.  in  Chelmsford,  May  16,  1797,  Elizabeth  Bridge,  dau.  of  William  and

m.  2d,  Nancy  Adams  of  Westford,  b.  1785,  d.  Sept.  6,  1865.  Hon.  Benjamin  Fiske 
was  born  in  Lexington,  Mass.,  on  a  farm  on  the  road  to  Concord,  at  a  point 
known  as  "Fiske  Hill,"  where  there  is  now  erected  a  tablet  stating  that  a  skir- 
mish was  there  had  between  the  British  and  American  forces,  and  the  former 
repulsed.  Wm.  B.  Fiske  has  often  heard  his  great-grandmother  give  an  account  of 
her  flight  to  the  woods  on  that  day,  and  upon  her  return  to  her  dwelling  she  found 
an  Acton  man  dead  at  the  doorstep  and  a  red  coat  dead  at  the  well,  each  having 
killed  the  other.  Wm.  B.  at  his  house  in  Plainfield,  N.  J.,  has  an  elegant  portrait 
by  Frothingham  of  his  great-grandmother,  with  a  panel  at  the  corner  picturing  her 
home  and  showing  the  two  bodies  as  stated.  He  was  married  to  Elizabeth  Bridge, 
daughter  of  Rev.  Wm.  Bridge  of  Chelmsford,  Mass.  She  died,  and  he  again  mar- 
ried Nancy  Adams.  He  moved  to  Boston  in  1808  and  was  actively  engaged  in 
shipping,  his  sails  whitening  every  sea,  until  1848.  In  the  year  1843  he  returned 
to  Lexington  where  he  purchased  a  large  farm  on  Lowell  street,  where  he  died. 
He  was  elected  an  alderman  in  Boston  in  1843,  and  served  as  representative  from 
1833  to  1838.  He  held  a  commission  as  justice  and  was  always  considered  an 
upright  and  exemplary  citizen.  He  d.  Feb.  2,  1858;  res.  Lex.,  Boston,  and  Lex-

d.  about  1785;  m.  4th,  Sarah  Arnold,  b.  1753,  d.  at  Brandon  1803.  Rev.  Nathaniel 
Fiske  was  born  probably  in  Rhode  Island.  Soon  after  his  first  marriage,  and 
shortly  before  the  Revolutionary  war,  he  moved  to  Vermont  and  located  in  1768 
in  Danby.  He  was  a  Quaker  preacher,  and  like  all  others  of  this  particular 
belief,  did  not  believe  in  war,  and  was  for  peace  first,  last  and  all  the  time.  When 
the  colonies  had  determined  to  be  free  and  independent  and  throw  oflf  the  yoke 
of  British  oppression,  the  Quaker  exhorter  did  not  lend  his  aid  or  even  influence, 
and  stoutly  maintained  that  he  would  not  participate  in  the  war  for  independence. 
As  a  result  the  town  of  Danby  confiscated  his  entire  property,  of  which  he  was 
possessed  of  quite  a  little  for  those  days.  He  made  the  statement  to  the  authorities 
then  and  there  that  he  would  live  to  be  a  wealthy  man  once  more;  they  could 
kill  him  if  they  saw  fit.  but  the  day  would  come  when  they  would  be  penniless. 
He  moved  to  Brandon,  followed  farming,  and  died  in  1816,  having  amassed  a 
large  amount  of  property.  He  was  grandfather  of  Hon.  Stephen  Arnold  Doug- 
lass. Rev.  Nathaniel  Fisk  was  buried  on  his  farm  in  the  family  burying  ground. 
The  writer  had  an  examination  made  of  the  little  God's  acre,  but  no  monument 
or  headstone  marks  his  last  resting  place.  It  was  his  wich,  it  is  said,  not  to  have 
any  stone  or  slab  at  his  grave.     He  d.  in  1807:  res.  Danby  and  Brandon,  Vt.

That  branch  of  the  Douglas  family  from  which  the  sub- 
ject of  this  sketch  is  a  descendant  emigrated  from  Scotland, 
and  settled  at  New  London,  in  the  province  of  Connecticut, 
during  the  earlier  period  of  our  colonial  settlements.  One  of 
the  two  brothers  who  first  came  to  America  subsequently  re- 
moved from  New  London,  and  settled  in  Maryland,  on  the 
banks  of  the  Potomac,  not  very  distant  from  the  site  ot  the 
present  city  of  Washington.  His  descendants,  now  very  nu- 
merous, are  to  be  found  in  Virginia,  the  Carolinas,  Tennessee, 
and  other  southern  states.  The  other  brother  remained  at 
New  London,  and  his  descendants  are  scattered  over  New 
England,  New  York,  Pennsylvania  and  the  northwestern 
states.  Dr.  Stephen  A.  Douglas  was  born  at  Stephentown, 
in  Rensselaer  County,  New  York,  and  when  quite  a  youth 
removed  with  his  parents  to  Brandon,  Rutland  County,  Vt., 
where,  after  his  regular  course  at  Middlebury  College,  he  stud- 
ied medicine,  and  became  distinguished  in  his  profession.  His 
wife  was  the  daughter  of  an  extensive  farmer  in  Brandon,  by 
whom  he  had  two  children — the  first  a  daughter,  and  the  sec- 
ond a  son,  Stephen  A.,  Jr.  On  the  first  of  July,  1813,  without 
any  previous  illness  or  physical  warning,  he  died  suddenly  of 
a  disease  of  the  heart.  At  the  very  moment  of  his  attack  and 
of  his  death,  he  was  playing  with  the  daughter  at  hi-s  knees, 
and  holding  his  son  Stephen  A.  in  his  arms. 

In  1813  the  country  was  at  war  with  Great  Britain — had 
undertaken  a  war  with  the  most  powerful  nation  in  the  world; 
at  that  time  the  United  States,  with  an  unprotected  coast,  with 
an  overbearing,  and  insulting,  and  powerful  enemy  menacing 
both  seaboard  and  frontier;  wath  hostile  navies  swarming  upon 
the  lakes,  and  commanding  every  sea  where  the  enterprise  of 
American  commerce  had  imfurled  a  sail,  and  veteran  armies, 
fresh  from  Continental  fields  of  renown,  landing  on  our  shores 
— at  that  time  when  the  infant  republic,  trusting  in  the  justice 
of  her  cause,  had  risked  everything  to  preserve  the  sacred 
principle  that  an  American  citizen,  no  matter  where  he  might 
be,  who  stood  upon  an  American  deck,  was  to  be  secured,  at 
all  hazards,  in  all  the  great  rights  guaranteed  to  hirn  by  the 
Constitution  of  his  country — while  this  war  was  waging,  and

while  the  contest  between  absolute  power  and  popular  right 
was  maintained  with  fire  and  sword  from  Detroit  to  Key 
West,  in  the  midst  of  this  struggle,  on  the  23d  day  of  April, 
1813,  was  born  Stephen  A.  Douglas,  who  forty-one  years 
thereafter  became  the  great  champion  of  that  same  sacred 
principle — not,  indeed,  in  behalf  of  the  gallant  men  who  tread 
the  decks  of  the  American  fleets,  but  in  behalf  of  those  other 
and  no  less  gallant  heroes — the  pioneers  of  American  progress, 
the  founders  of  American  states,  the  builders  of  American  sov- 
ereignties— the  people  of  the  American  territories. 

The  grandmothers,  maternal  and  paternal,  of  Mr.  Doug- 
las, were  of  the  name  of  Arnold,  and  were  both  descended 
from  William  Arnold,  who  was  one  of  the  associates  of  Roger 
Williams  in  founding  the  colony  of  Rhode  Island,  and  whose 
son  was  appointed  governor  of  that  colony  by  Charles  the 
second,  when  he  granted  the  famous  charter  under  which  the 
state  continued  to  be  governed  until  even  after  the  establish- 
ment of  the  American  Union,  and  until  the  adoption  a  few 
years  later  of  the  present  constitution  of  Rhode  Island.  The 
descendants  of  Governor  Arnold  are  at  this  day  very  numer- 
ous in  Rhode  Island,  and,  indeed,  throughout  the  whole  coun- 
try. 


AN   EARLY   PICTURE  OF   HON.   STEPHEN    A.   DOUGLAS. 

Immediately  after  the  death  of  Dr.  Douglas,  his  widow, 
with  her  two  children,  removed  from  their  native  village  to  a 
farm  about  three  miles  in  the  country,  where  she  resided  with 
her  bachelor  brother,  Mr.  Fisk,  on  their  patrimonial  estate. 

From  his  earliest  childhood,  Stephen  was  raised  to  a  reg- 
ular course  of  life,  attending  the  district  school  during  the 
winter  seasons,  and  working  steadily  on  the  farm  the  residue  of 
each  year.  When  fifteen  years  of  age,  finding  that  a  number  of 
his  schoolmates  of  his  own  years  were  about  to  enter  the  acad- 
emy to  prepare  for  college,  he  applied  to  his  uncle,  whom  he 
had  always  been  taught  to  respect  as  a  father  for  permission 
and  means  to  enable  him  to  take  the  same  course.^  This  re- 
quest was  made  in  pursuance  of  an  understanding  which  he  sup- 


172  FISKE  GENEALOGY. 


posed  had  existed  in  the  family  from  his  earUest  recollection, 
that  he  was  to  be  educated  and  sent  to  college;  so  strongly 
was  this  plan  for  the  future  impressed  upon  his  mind,  that  it 
had  never  occurred  to  him  that  his  uncle's  marriage  a  year  pre- 
vious, and  the  very  recent  birth  of  an  heir  to  his  estate,  had  in 
the  least  changed  their  respective  relations;  nor  had  he  seen 
in  these  events  that  cloud  which  was  to  darken  the  hitherto 
bright  visions  which  had  stimulated  his  youthful  ambition. 
An  afifectionate  remonstrance  against  the  folly  of  abandoning 
the  farm  for  the  uncertainties  of  a  professional  life,  accompa- 
nied by  a  gentle  intimation  that  he  had  a  family  of  his  own  to 
support,  and  therefore  did  not  feel  able  to  bear  the  expense  of 
educating  other  persons'  children,  was  the  response  made  to 
the  boy's  request.  Instantly  the  eyes  of  young  Douglas  were 
opened  to  his  real  condition  in  life.  He  saw  at  once  that  he 
could  not  command  the  means  requisite  for  acquiring  a  col- 
legiate education  without  exhausting  the  only  resources  upon 
Vt'hich  his  mother  and  sister  must  rely;  he  also  saw  that  if  he 
remained  on  the  farm  with  his  uncle  until  he  became  of  age, 
he  would  then  be  thrown  upon  the  world  without  a  profession 
or  a  trade  by  which  he  could  sustain  them  and  himself.  Real- 
izing the  full  force  of  these  considerations,  and  perceiving  for 
the  first  time  that  he  must  rely  upon  himself  for  the  future, 
he  determined  to  leave  the  farm  and  at  once  learn  a  mechanical 
trade,  that  being  the  most  promising  and  certain  reliance  for 
the  future.  Bidding  farewell  to  his.  mother  and  sister,  he  set 
ofif  on  foot  to  engage  personally  in  the  great  combat  of  life; 
on  that  same  day  he  walked  fourteen  miles,  and  before  night 
was  regularly  indentured  as  an  apprentice  to  a  cabinet-maker 
in  Middlebury.  He  worked  at  his  trade  with  energy  and 
enthusiasm  for  about  two  years,  the  latter  part  of  the  time  at  a 
.shop  in  Brandon,  and  gained  great  proficiency  in  the  art,  dis- 
playing remarkable  mechanical  skill;  but,  in  consequence  of 
feeble  health,  and  a  frame  unable  to  bear  the  continued  labor 
of  the  shop,  he  was  reluctantly  compelled  to  abandon  a  busi- 
ness in  which  all  his  hopes  and  pride  had  been  centered,  and  to 
which  he  had  become  sincerely  attached.  He  had  often  been 
heard  to  say,  since  he  had  been  distinguished  in  the  councils 
of  the  nation,  that  the  happiest  days  of  his  life  had  been  spent 
in  the  workshop,  and,  had  his  health  and  strength  been  equal 
to  the  task,  no  consideration  on  earth  could  have  induced 
him  to  have  abandoned  it,  either  for  professional  or  political 
pursuits. 

He  entered  the  academy  of  his  native  town,  and  com- 
menced a  course  of  classical  studies,  to  which  he  devoted 
himself  for  about  twelve  months  with  all  that  energy  and 
enthusiasm  which  were  a  part  of  his  nature. 

In  the  meantime  his  sister  had  married  Julius  N.  Granger, 
Esq.,  of  Ontario  County,  New  York,  and  shortly  afterward 
his  mother  was  married  to  Gehazi  Granger,  Esq.,  father  of 
Julius,  and  at  the  close  of  his  first  year  at  Brandon  Academy, 
young  Douglas,  at  the  earnest  solicitation  of  his  mother  and 
stepfather,  removed  with  them  to  their  home  near  Canan- 
daigua,  New  York.  He  at  once  became  a  stud-jnt  at  that 
place — an  institution  which  for  more  than  half  a  century  has 
been  celebrated  for  its  thorovigh  academical  course  of  studies, 
and  for  the  large  number  of  eminent  professional  men  and 
statesmen  whose  names  once  appeared  on  her  catalogue. 

In  December,  1832,  he  began  the  study  of  law;  but,  find- 
ing that  his  mother  would  be  unable  to  support  him  through 
the  long  course  of  legal  studies  prescribed  by  the  state,  he 
determined  upon  going  to  the  west,  and  on  the  24th  of 
June,   1833.  set  out  for  Cleveland,   O.,  where  he  was  danger- 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  173 


ously  ill  with  fever  for  four  months.  He  then  visited  Cin- 
cinnati, Louisville,  St.  Louis  and  Jacksonville,  111.,  but  failed 
to  obtain  employment.  Finding  his  money  exhausted,  he 
walked  to  Winchester,  where  he  arrived  at  night  with  only 
thirty-seven  and  a  half  cents.  Here  he  secured  three  days' 
employment  as  a  clerk  to  an  auctioneer  at  an  administrator's 
sale,  and  was  paid  six  dollars.  During  the  sale  he  made  so 
favorable  an  impression  that  he  at  once  obtained  a  school  of 
about  forty  pupils,  whom  he  taught  for  three  months.  Dur- 
ing this  time  he  studied  law  at  night,  and  on  Saturdays  prac- 
ticed before  justices  of  the  peace. 

In    March,    1834,    he    removed   to    Jacksonville,    obtained 
his    license,    and    began    the    regular    practice    of    law.      Two 
weeks    thereafter  he   addressed   a   large    Democratic   meeting 
in    defense    of  Gen.    Jackson's    administration.      In  a    short 
sketch  of  his  early  life  written  in  1838,  from  which  the  fore- 
going facts  have  been  taken,  Mr.  Douglas  thus  spoke  of  this 
event:    "The  excitement  was  intense,  and  I  was  rather  severe 
in  my  remarks  upon  the  opposition.     .     .     .     The  next  week 
the  'Patriot,'  the  organ  of  the  opposition,  devoted  two  entire 
columns    to    me    and    my    speech,    and    continued    the    same 
course   for   two    or   three    successive    weeks.      The    necessary 
consequence  was  that  I  immediately  became  kno\yn  to  every 
man  in  the  county,  and  was  placed  in  such  a  situation  as  to  be 
supported   by   one   party   and   opposed  by   the   other.     .     .     . 
Within  one  week  thereafter  I  received  for  collection  demands 
to  the  amounts  of  thousands  of  dollars  from  persons  I  had 
never  seen  or  heard  of.     .     .     .     How  foolish,  how  impolitic, 
the  indiscriminate  abuse  of  political  opponents  whose  humble 
condition  or  insignificance  prevents  the  possibility  of  injury, 
and    who    may    be    greatly    benefited    by    the    notoriety    thus 
acquired!     .     .     .     Indeed,    I   sincerely  doubt  whether   I  owe 
most  to  the  kind  and  efficient  support  of  my  friends  (and  no 
man    similarly    situated    ever    had    better    and   truer    friends), 
or  to  the  violent,  reckless,  and  imprudent  opposition  of  my 
enemies."     During  the  remainder  of  the  canvass  Mr.  Douglas 
bore  a  prominent  part,  and  on  the  assembling  of  the  legis- 
lature,   although    not   yet    twenty-two    years    of   age,    he    was 
elected    attorney-general,    an    officer    who    then,    in    addition 
to'  his    other    duties,    rode    the    metropolitan    circuit.       His 
opponent  was  Gen.  John  J.  Hardin.     This  office  he  resigned 
in   December,   1835,   having  been  elected  to  the  lower  house 
of  the   Legislature,   of  which   he   was  the  youngest  member. 
The  mental  vigor  and  capacity  he  there  displayed,  m  strikmg 
contrast    with    his    physical    frame,     which    was    then    very 
slight,    won   for  him   the  title    of   the   "Little    Giant,"   which 
followed  him  through  life.     In  1837  he  was  appointed  register 
of  the  land  office  at  Springfield.     In  1838  he  was  the  Demo- 
cratic candidate  for  Congress;  but  his  opponent  was  declared 
elected  by  a  majority  of  five  votes.     Over  fifty  votes  cast  for 
Mr.    Douglas    were    rejected    by   the    canvassers   because   his 
name  was  misspelled.     In  December,  1840,  he  was  appointed 
secretary  of  state  of  Illinois,  and  in  the  following  February 
elected  a  judge  of  the  supreme  court.     Here  his  decision  of 
character  was  shown  in  the  trial  of  Joseph  Smith,  the  Mor- 
mon   prophet.      A    mob    had   taken   possession    of   the   court 
room,   intending   to   lynch   the    prisoner,    and   the   officers   of. 
the    court    appeared    powerless.       In    this    emergency    Judge 
Douglas    saw    a    bystander    idly    looking    on,    whose    great 
strength    and    desperate    courage   were    well   known.     Above 
the  shouts  of  the  rioters  rose  the  voice  of  the  judge  appoint- 
ing this  man  a  special  officer  and  directing  him  to  select  his 
deputies  and    clear   the   court   room.      In   ten   minutes   order 
was  restored.

In  1843  Judge  Douglas  was  elected  to  Congress  by  a 
majority  of  400,  and  he  was  re-elected  in  1844  by  1,900  and 
again  in  1846  by  over  3,000;  but  before  the  term  began  he 
was  chosen  United  States  senator,  and  took  his  seat  in  the 
Senate,  March  4,  1847.  He  was  re-elected  in  1852  and  1858, 
and  had  served  fourteen  years  in  that  body  at  the  time  of 
his  death.  His  last  senatorial  canvass  was  remarkable  from 
his  joint  discussions  with  Abraham  Lincoln.  Each  was  con- 
ceded to  be  the  leader  of  his  party  and  the  fittest  exponent 
of  its  principles,  and  the  election  of  one  or  the  other  to  the 
Senate  was  the  real  issue  of  the  contest,  which  was  for 
members  of  the  Legislature.  Mr.  Buchanan's  administration 
was  understood  to  be  hostile  to  Mr.  Douglas.  The  result 
of  the  election  showed  a  Republican  popular  majority  of 
4,000;  but  the  Democrats  returned  a  majority  of  eight  mem- 
bers to  the  Legislature,  which  secured  Senator  Douglas'  re- 
election. In  1852,  at  the  Democratic  national  convention  in 
Baltimore,  he  was  strongly  supported  for  the  presidential 
nomination,  receiving  a  plurality  on  the  thirtieth  ballot.  In 
1856  he  was  again  a  candidate  at  the  Democratic  national 
convention  in  Cincinnati,  his  friends  throughout  the  con- 
vention controlling  more  than  enough  votes  to  prevent  any 
nomination  under  the  two-thirds  rule.  On  the  sixteenth  ballot 
he  received  121  votes;  but,  as  he  was  opposed  to  the  principle 
of  the  two-thirds  rule,  he  at  once  withdrew  in  favor  of 
Buchanan,  who  had  received  a  majority,  thus  securing  his 
nomination.  At  the  Democratic  national  convention  in 
Charleston  in  i860,  on  the  first  ballot  he  received  145^  votes 
out  of  252I/2  cast.  On  the  twenty-third  ballot  he  received 
152^  votes,  which  was  not  only  a  large  majority  of  the  votes 
cast,  but  also  a  majority  of  all  those  entitled  to  representation. 
The  convention  having  adjourned  to  Baltimore,  he  received 
on  the  first  ballot  173^  out  of  190^  votes  cast.  On  the 
second  ballot  he  received  i8i!!/2  votes  of  194^,  and  his  nomi- 
nation was  then  made  unanimous.  The  seceding  delegates 
nominated  John  C.  Breckinridge.  Abraham  Lincoln  was 
the  nominee  of  the  Republican  party,  and  John  Bell  of  the 
Constitutional  Union  party.  Of  the  electoral  votes  only 
twelve  were  cast  for  Douglas,  although  he  received  1,375,157 
of  the  popular  votes  distributed  through  every  state  in  the 
Union.  Mr.  Lincoln  received  180  electoral  votes  and  1,866,352 
popular  votes.  From  the  age  of  twenty-one  till  his  death, 
with  the  exception  of  about  two  years,  Mr.  Douglas'  entire 
life  was  devoted  to  the  public  service.  During  his  congres- 
sional career  his  name  was  prominently  associated  with  numer- 
ous important  measures,  many  of  which  were  the  offspring 
of  his  own  mind  or  received  its  controlling  impress.  In  the 
House  of  Representatives  he  maintained  that  the  title  of  the 
United  States  to  the  whole  of  Oregon  up  to  latitude  54  deg. 
40  min.  N.  was  "clear  and  unquestionable."  He  declared  that 
he  "never  would,  now  or  hereafter,  yield  up  one  inch  of 
Oregon,  either  to  Great  Britain  or  any  government."  He  advo- 
cated the  policy  of  giving  notice  to  terminate  the  joint  occupa- 
tion, of  establishing  a  territorial  government  over  Oregon  pro- 
tected by  a  sufifieient  military  force,  and  of  putting  the  country 
at  once  in  a  state  of  preparation,  so  that  if  war  should  result 
from  the  assertion  of  our  just  rights  we  might  drive  "Great 
Britain  and  the  last  vestiges  of  royal  authority  from  the  con- 
tinent of  North  America,  and  make  the  United  States  an 
ocean-bound  republic."  In  advocating  the  bill  refunding 
the  fine  imposed  on  Gen.  Jackson  by  Judge  Hall,  he  said: 
"I  maintain  that,  in  the  exercise  of  the  power  of  proclaiming 
martial   law.    Gen.    Jackson   did   not   violate   the    constitution 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  175 


nor  assume  to  himself  any  authority  not  fully  authorized  and 
legalized  by  his  position,  his  duty,  and  the  unavoidable  neces- 
sity of  the  case.  .  .  .  His  power  was  commensurate  with  his 
duty,  and  he  was  authorized  to  use  the  means  essential  to 
its  performance.  .  .  .  There  are  exigencies  in  the  history 
of  nations  when  necessity  becomes  the  paramount  law,  to 
which  all  other  considerations  must  yield."  Gen.  Jackson 
personally  thanked  Mr.  Douglas  for  this  speech,  and  a  copy 
of  it  was  found  among  Jackson's  papers  endorsed  by  him: 
"This  speech  constitutes  my  defense."  Mr.  Douglas  was 
among  the  earliest  advocates  of  the  annexation  of  Texas,  and, 
after  thq  treaty  for  that  object  had  failed  in  the  Senate,  he 
introduced  joint  resolutions  having  practically  the  same  effect. 
As  chairman  of  the  committee  on  territories  in  1846,  he  re- 
ported the  joint  resolution  by  which  Texas  was  declared  to 
be  one  of  the  United  States,  and  he  vigorously  supported  the 
administration  of  President  Polk  in  the  ensuing  war  with 
Mexico.  He  was  for  two  years  chairman  of  the  committee 
on  territories  in  the  House  (then  its  most  important  com- 
mittee in  view  of  the  slavery  question),  and  became,  chairman 
of  the  same  committee  in  the  Senate  immediately  upon  enter- 
ing that  body.  This  position  he  held  for  eleven  years,  until 
removed  in  December,  1858,  on  account  of  his  opposition  to 
some  of  the  measures  of  President  Buchanan's  administra- 
tion. During  this  time  he  reported  and  carried  through 
the  bills  organizing  the  territories  of  Minnesota,  Oregon, 
New  Mexico,  Utah,  Washington,  Kansas  and  Nebraska,  and 
also  those  for  the  admission  of  the  states  of  Iowa,  Wisconsin, 
California,  Minnesota  and  Oregon. 

On  the  question  of  slavery  in  the  territories  he  early  took 
the  position,  which  he  consistently  maintained,  that  Congress 
should  not  interfere,  but  that  the  people  of  each  state  and 
territory  should  be  allowed  to  regulate  their  dornestic_  insti- 
tutions to  suit  themselves.  In  accordance  with  this  principle 
he  opposed  the  Wilmot  proviso  when  it  passed  the  House 
of  Representatives  in  1847,  and  afterward  in  the  Senate  when 
it  was  offered  as  an  amendment  to  the  bill  for  the  organization 
of  the  territory  of  Oregon.  Although  opposed  to  the  prm- 
ciples  involved  in  the  Missouri  compromise,  he  preferred,  as 
it  had  been  so  long  acquiesced  in,  to  carry  it  out  in  good 
faith  rather  than  expose  the  country  to  renewed  sectional 
agitation;  and  hence,  in  August,  1848,  he  offered  an  amend- 
ment to  the  Oregon  bill,  extending  the  Missouri  compromise 
line  to  the  Pacific  coast,  thus  prohibiting  slavery  in  all  the 
territory  north  of  the  parallel  of  36  deg.  30  min.,  and  by 
implication  tolerating  it  south  of  that  line.  This  amendment 
was  adopted  by  the  Senate  by  a  large  majority,  receiving  the 
support  of  every  southern  and  several  northern  senators, 
but  was  defeated  in  the  House  by  nearly  a  sectional  vote. 
This  action  of  the  House  of  Representatives,  which  Mr. 
Douglas  regarded  as  a  practical  repudiation  of  the  principle 
of  the  Missouri  compromise,  together  with  the  refusal  of  the 
Senate  to  prohibit  slavery  in  all  the  territories,  gave  rise  to 
the  sectional  agitation  of  1849-50,  which  was  temporarily 
quieted  by  the  legislation  known  as  the  "compromise  measures 
of  1850"  the  most  famous  of  which  was  the  fugitive-slave 
law  (see  Clay,  Henry,  vol.  I,  page  644)-  Mr.  Douglas 
strongly  supported  these  measures,  the  first  four  having  been 
originally  reported  by  him  from  the  committee  on  territories. 
The  two  others,  including  the  fugitive-slave  law,  were  added 
by  the  committee  of  thirteen,  and  the  measures  were  re- 
ported back  to  its  chairman,  Henry  Clay.  On  his  return  to 
Chicago,  the  city  council  passed  resolutions  denouncing  him 


176  FISKE  GENEALOGY. 


as  a  traitor,  and  the  measures  as  violations  of  the  law  of 
God  and  the  Constitution;  enjoining  the  city  police  to  dis- 
regard the  laws,  and  urging  the  citizens  not  to  obey  them. 
The  next  evening  a  large  meeting  of  citizens  was  held,  at 
which  it  was  resolved  to  "defy  death,  the  dungeon  and  the 
grave,"  in  resistance  to  the  execution  of  the  law.  Mr.  Douglas 
immediately  appeared  upon  the  stand,  and  announced  that  on 
the  following  evening  he  would  speak  at  the  same  place  in 
defence  of  his  course.  Accordingly,  on  Oct.  23,  he  defended 
the  entire  series  of  measures  in  a  speech  in  which  he  defined 
their  principles  as  follows:  "These  measures  are  predicted 
upon  the  great  fundamental  principle  that  every  people  ought 
to  possess  the  right  of  framing  and  regulating  their  own  in- 
ternal concerns  and  domestic  institutions  in  their  own 
way.  .  .  .  These  things  are  all  confided  by  the  Constitu- 
tion to  each  state  to  decide  for  itself,  and  I  know  of  no  reason 
why  the  same  principle  should  not  be  extended  to  the  terri- 
tories." This  constituted  the  celebrated  doctrine  of  "Popular 
Sovereignty."  sometimes  called  by  its  opponents  "squatter 
sovereignty"  (see  Butts,  Isaac).  At  the  close  of  the  speech 
the  meeting  unanimously  resolved  to  sustain  all  the  com- 
promise measures,  including  the  fugitive-slave  law,  and  on 
the  following  evening  the  common  council  repealed  their 
nullifying  resolutions  by  a  vote  of  twelve  to  one.  In  Decem- 
ber, 1853,  Mr.  Douglas  reported  his  celebrated  bill  to  organize 
the  territories  of  Kansas  and  Nebraska,  which  formed  the 
issues  upon  which  the  Democratic  and  Republican  parties 
became  arrayed  against  each  other.  The  passage  of  this  bill 
caused  intense  excitement  in  the  non-slaveholders'  states,  and 
Mr.  Douglas,  as  its  author  was  bitterly  denounced.  He  said 
that  he  travelled  from  Washington  to  Chicago  by  the  light  of 
his  own  burning  effigies.  The  controversy  turned  upon  the 
following  provision  repealing  the  Missouri  compromise: 
"Which,  being  inconsistent  with  the  principle  of  non-inter- 
vention by  Congress  with  slavery  in  the  states  and  territories, 
as  recognized  by  the  legislation  of  1850  (commonly  called 
the  compromise  measures)  is  hereby  declared  inoperative  and 
void;  it  being  the  true  intent  and  meaning  of  this  act  not  to 
legislate  slavery  into  any  territory  or  state,  nor  to  exclude  it 
therefrom,  but  to  leave  the  people  thereof  perfectly  free  to 
form  and  regulate  their  domestic  institutions  in  their  own 
way,  subject  only  to  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States." 
In  the  Congressional  session  of  1857-58  he  denounced  and 
opposed  the  Lecompton  constitution  on  the  ground  that  "it 
was  not  the  act  of  the  people  of  Kansas  and  did  not  embody 
their  will." 

Mr.  Douglas  was  remarkably  successful  in  promoting  the 
inteiests  of  his  own  state  during  his  Congressional  career. 
In  1848  he  introduced  the  passage  of  the  bill  granting  to  the 
state  of  Illinois  the  alternate  sections  of  land  along  the  line 
of  the  Illinois  Central  railroad,  which  so  largely  contributed 
to  developing  the  resources  and  restoring  the  credit  of  the 
state.  He  was  one  of  the  earliest  and  warmest  advocates  of  a 
railroad  to  the  Pacific.  In  foreign  policy  he  opposed  the 
treaty  with  England  limiting  the  territory  of  Oregon  to  the 
forty-ninth  parallel.  He  also  opposed  the  Trist  peace  treaty 
with  Mexico.  He  opposed  the  ratification  of  the  Clayton- 
Bulwer  treaty,  chiefly  because  it  pledged  the  faith  of  the 
United  States  never  to  annex,  colonize,  or  exercise  dominion 
over  any  part  of  Central  America.  He  maintained  that  the 
isthmus  routes  must  be  kept  open  as  highways  to  the  American 
possessions  on  the  Pacific;  that  the  time  would  come  when  the 
United  States  would  be  compelled  to  occupy  Central  America; 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  177

and  declared  that  he  would  never  pledge  the  faith  of  the 
republic  not  do  in  the  future  what  its  interests  and  safety 
might  require.  He  also  declared  himself  in  favor  of  the 
acquisition  of  Cuba  whenever  it  could  be  obtained  consist- 
ently with  the  laws  of  nations  and  the  honor  of  the  United 
Stales. 

In  1855  he  introduced  a  bill  for  the  relief  of  the  United 
States  Supreme  Court,  giving  circuit  court  powers  to  the  dis- 
trict courts,  requiring  all  the  district  judges  in  each  circuit 
court  to  meet  once  a  year  as  an  intermediate  court  of  appeals 
under  the  presidence  of  a  justice  of  the  supreme  court,  and 
providing  for  appeals  from  the  district  courts  to  these  inter- 
mediate courts,  and  thence  to  the  supreme  court,  in  cases  in- 
volving large  amounts.  In  1857  he  declared  that  the  only 
solution  of  the  Mormon  question  in  Utah  was  to  "repeal  the 
organic  act  absolutely  and  unconditionally,  blotting  out  of 
existence  the  territorial  government,  and  bringing  Utah  under 
the  sole  and  exclusive  jurisdiction  of  the  United  States." 

In  1858  and  again  in  i860,  he  visited  the  Southern  states, 
and  made  many  speeches.  Everywhere  he  boldly  denied  the 
right  of  secession,  and  maintained  that,  while  this  was  a  union 
of  sovereign  states  independent  of  all  local  matters,  they  were 
bound  together  in  an  indissoluble  compact  by  the  Constitution, 
which  established  a  national  government  inherently  possessing 
all  powers  essential  to  its  own  preservation.  During  the  ex- 
citing session  of  1860-61,  Mr.  Douglas,  as  a  member  of  the 
committee  of  thirteen,  and  on  the  floor  of  the  Senate,  labored 
incessantly  to  avert  civil  war  by  any  reasonable  measures  of 
adjustment,  but  at  the  beginning  of  hostilities  he  threw  the 
whole  weight  of  his  influence  in  behalf  of  the  Union,  and 
gave  Mr.  Lincoln's  administration  an  unfaltering  support. 
In  public  speeches  he  denounced  secession  as  crime  and  mad- 
ness, and  declared  that,  in  the  new  system  of  resistance  by 
the  sword  and  bayonet  the  result  of  the  ballot-box  shall  pre- 
vail in  this  country,  "the  history  of  the  United  States  is  already 
written  in  the  history  of  Mexico."  He  said  that  "no  one  could 
be  a  true  Democrat  without  being  a  patriot."  In  an  address 
to  the  Legislature  of  Illinois,  delivered  at  its  unanimous  re- 
quest, he  urged  the  oblivion  of  all  party  differences,  and  ap- 
pealed to  his  political  friends  and  opponents  to  unite  in  sup- 
port of  the  government.  In  a  letter  dictated  for  publication 
during  his  last  illness,  he  said  that  but  one  course  was  left 
for  patriotic  men,  and  that  was  to  sustain  the  government 
against  all  assailants.  On  his  deathbed  his  last  coherent  words 
expressed  an  ardent  wish  for  the  preservation  of  the  Union, 
and  his  dying  message  to  his  sons  was  to  "obey  the  laws  and 
uphold  the  Constitution." 

Mr.  Douglas  was  somewhat  below  the  middle  height,  but 
strongly  built,  and  capable  of  great  mental  and  physical  exer- 
tion. He  was  a  ready  and  powerful  speaker,  discarding  orna- 
ment in  favor  of  simplicity  and  strength.  Few  equaled  him  in 
personal  influence  over  the  masses  of  the  people,  and  none 
inspired  more  devoted  friendship.  While  considering  it  the 
duty  of  Congress  to  protect  the  rights  of  the  slave-holding 
states,  he  was  opposed  to  slavery  itself.  His  first  wife  was 
the  only  child  of  a  large  slave-holder,  who,  in  his  last  will 
provided  that,  if  Mrs.  Douglas  should  die  without  issue,  all 
her  slaves  should  be  freed  and  removed  to  Liberia  at  the  ex- 
pense of  her  estate,  saying  further  that  this  provision  was 
in  accordance  with  the  wishes  of  Judge  Douglas,  who  would 
not  consent  to  own  a  slave.  He  married  April  7,  1847,  Martha, 
daughter  of  Col.  Robert  Martin,  of  Rockingham  county, 
N.  C,  by  whom  he  had  three  children,  two  of  whgm,  Robert

MRS.  HON.  STEPHEN  A.  DOUGLAS. 


Mrs.  Robert  Williams,  wife  of  the  general  of  that  name, 
has  had  a  romantic  and  interesting  life  and  has  been  blessed 
with  numerous  homes  which  are  all  historic  and  famous.  Mrs. 
Williams  was,  previously,  the  wife  of  Stephen  A.  Douglas. 

When  she  was  a  girl  she  was  known  in  Washington  as 
"beautiful  Addie  Cutts."  Her  grandmother  was  a  sister  of 
President  Madison's  lovely  wife,  and  her  father,  James  Madison 
Cutts,  was  second  comptroller  of  the  treasury,  while  her  mother 
was  a  Maryland  belle  and  beauty.  Adele  Cutts,  now  Mrs. 
WilHams,  was  born  in  the  Cutts  home,  a  stuccoed  house  on 
H  street  and  Lafayette  square,  built  early  in  the  present 
century.  When  she  was  a  baby  her  parents  moved  to  an- 
other house.  The  homestead  was  taken  by  President  Madi- 
son on  a  mortgage  and  after  his  death  his  widow  lived 
in  it.     It  is  always  spoken  of  as  the  Dolly  Madison  house,

its  first  owner,  who  lived  in  it  longest,  rarely  being  mentioned. 
it  is  now  the  home  of  the  Cosmos  club. 

When  Adele  Cutts  entered  society  she  became  a  belle 
on  account  of  her  beauty  and  brilliancy.  Stephen  A.  Doug- 
las, the  young  senator  from  Illinois,  wooed  and  won  her. 
They  went  to  live  in  a  gray,  grouted  brick  house  in  a  walled 
and  terraced  garden,  a  quaint  old  house,  once  a  country 
place.  Twenty-one  years  ago  two  houses  were  made  of 
this  and  the  grounds  covered  with  new  buildings.  Soon 
after  his  marriage  Senator  Douglas  built  a  new  home — a 
large,  plain  brick  house  with  a  ball  room  at  the  back.  Dur- 
ing the  war  it  was  used  as  a  hospital  and  is  now  the  home 
of  Cardinal  Satolli.  When  Stephen  A.  Douglas  died  his 
wife  and  family  went  back  to  the  old  house,  the  gray  one  in 
the  terraced  garden,  to  live. 

After  the  war  closed  Mrs.  Douglas  married  Gen.  Robert 
Williams.  It  was  a  love  match  and  they  were  a  handsome 
couple.  Soon  after  the  wedding  he  was  sent  west  and  they 
divided  their  time  between  Fort  Leavenworth,  Omaha  and 
Chicago  until  about  five  years  ago,  when  they  went  to 
Washington,  Gen-.  Williams  having  retired.  They  took  a 
new  and  handsome  house  on  Hillyer  place,  unpacked  treas- 
ured pictures  and  books  stored  because  they  were  too  heavy 
to  carry  around  the  country  and  stayed  there  a  couple  of 
years.     At  present  they  are  in  another  house.       • 

There  are  six  children  in  the  family — three  boys  and 
three  girls.  The  eldest  son  is  in  the  navy  and  the  youngest 
went  west  the  other  day  to  try  his  luck  at  making  a  fortune. 
Two  daughters  are  in  society  and  are  very  popular.  One  is 
a  striking  brunette,  the  other  a  pure  blonde  with  a  fine  com- 
plexion and  masses  of  golden  hair.  The  baby  of  the  family 
is  14  and  promises  to  be  a  second  edition  of  her  mother. 
Mrs.  Williams  has  not  changed  much  these  years.  Her 
.  heavy  dark  hair  is  lightly  touched  with  gray  and  she  wears 

it  combed  plainly  back  as  when  she  .was  a  girl.  Her  large, 
dark  eyes  are  kindly  and  show  her  gentle  disposition.  Her 
head  is  finely  poised  and,  although  she  is  a  quiet  dresser, 
she  has  a  stately  air  about  her  which  makes  strangers  pause 
to  look  at  her  again  and  ask  who  she  is. 

She  has  many  treasures  in  her  home.  There  are  a  num- 
ber of  family  portraits  and  some  rare  old  china,  one  set 
being  of  white  sprayed  in  green  which  was  used  by  her 
grandmother.  Quaint  chairs  and  inlaid  tables,  one  of  them 
having  the  portraits  of  Italian  poets  on  it,  marbles  and  bric- 
a-brac  make  her  home  a  beautiful  one.

Conn.,  Dec.  3,  1819.  When  he  was  three  years  of  age  his  par- 
ents moved  to  the  old  Burlingame  homestead  in  Coventry,  R. 
I.,  where  he  passed  his  boyhood  and  early  manhood.  He  en- 
joyed the  advantages  which  the  common  schools  had  to  give, 
and  as  he  showed  a  peculiar  aptitude  for  military  affairs  he 
was  proffered  a  cadetship  at  West  Point,  but  the  death  of  his 
father  made  it  necessary  for  him  to  abandon  his  cherished 
desires,  and  at  the  age  of  eighteen  he  took  his  father's  place 
at  the  head  of  the  family  and  managed  a  large  estate  success- 
fully. At  the  age  of  seventeen  he  joined  the  militia  as  pri- 
vate. He  was  promoted  in  1837  to  sergeant,  1838  to  lieuten- 
ant, 1841  to  captain,  1841  to  lieutenant-colonel,  and  subse- 
quently colonel,  when  he  was  twenty-one  years  old.  He  was 
in  command  during  the  state  embroglio  entitled  the  Dorr 
war,  "being  active  in  the  field  for  the  suppression  of  the  re- 
bellion. He  was  a  firm  disciplinarian,  and  conspicuous  for  his 
athletic  build.  About  1857  he,  with  his  family,  moved  to 
East  Greenwich,  R.  I.,  and  became  associated  with  the  Provi- 
dence Conference  Seminary,  and  was  one  of  its  staunchest 
friends  and  supporters.  He  held  various  town  offices,  and  in 
1868-9  represented  his  district  in  the  Rhode  Island  Senate. 
Having  a  mechanical  turn  of  mind  he  made  several  valuable 
inventions,  among  which  may  be  mentioned  a  packing  for 
steam  pipes,  which  has  been  in  universal  use  for  thirty  years, 
a  method  by  which  illuminating  gas  is  manufactured  in  one- 
fifth  of  the  time  formerly  required;  a  system  of  sewerage,  and 
other  minor  inventions,  all  of  which  are  in  common  use  at  the 
present  time  in  their  respective  spheres  of  practicability. 
Colonel  Burlingame  was  a  quiet  man,  thoughtful  and  reflective 
in  disposition,  conscientious  and  upright  in  character.  He 
was  deacon  of  the  Baptist  Church  many  years.  On  Oct.  30, 
1841,  he  married  Miss  Elsie  Maria  Tillinghast,  who  died  May 
20,  1884,  by  whom  he  had  three  daughters,  Anne  Eliza,  Adeline 
King  and  Sarah  Maria.  In  1888  he  was  married  to  Miss  Ruth 
M.  Spencer.  He  died  Nov.  15,  1890,  at  East  Greenwich,  and 
is  interred  in  the  family  burying  ground  at  that  place.  3  ch.,

Mass.,  May  24,  185 1.  He  was  graduated  from  the  Lowell  pub- 
lic schools,  and  fitted  for  Harvard  College.  In  1869  he  went 
to  Germany  with  his  father,  who  had  received  the  appointment 
of  Consul  General  of  the  United  States  at  Frankfort-on-the- 
Main.  He  there  attended  the  University  of  Heidelberg,  and 
subsequently  the  University  of  Strassburg,  from  which  institu- 
tion he  was  graduated.  In  1873  he  was  appointed  United 
States  Consul  at  Mayence  in  Germany,  which  position  he  held 
until  1877,  when  he  resigned  to  return  to  Massachusetts  in 
order  to  pursue  the  study  of  the  law.  While  in  Europe  he 
traveled  extensively,  and  familiarized  himself  with  the  German 
and  French  languages.     In  1880  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar,

and  since  that  time  has  been  in  active  practice  with  offices 
in  Lowell  and  in  Boston.  He  has  written  extensively  for  the 
pi-ess  and  law  magazines,  and  in  1890  published  a  work  known 
as  the  "Law  of  Citizenship,"  and  m  1895  published  the  "Law  of 
Naturalization;"  also  a  genealogy  of  "One  Branch  of  the 
Webster  Family."  He  was  for  several  years  a  member  of  the 
City  Hall  Commission  of  the  city  of  Lowell,  and  published  its 
reports.  In  1895  he  received  the  degree  of  A.  M.  from  Dart-

matters,  and  liked  a  good  mortgage.  Some  farmers  were  debating  the  all-irn-

Roberts,  b.  Middletown,  Conn..  Sept.  24,  1750;"  d.  Isle  La  Mott,  Vt.,  July  16,  1839. 
Ichabod  E.  was  born  in  New  Milford,  Conn.,  and  moved  with  his  parents  to  what 
is  now  Southington,  Conn.,  graduated  at  Yale  College  in  1770.  At  the  breaking 
out  of  the  Revolutionary  War  he  resided  in  Poultney,  Vt.  He  went  to  Isle  La 
Mott,  Vt,  in  Lake  Champlain,  in  1788.  He  was  a  surveyor  at  this  time  and  sur- 
veyed the  Isle  and  taught  the  first  school  there  before  1802.  He  was  ordained 
a  minister  in  the  P.  E.  Church,  was  the  author  of  an  English  grammar  in  verse, 
and  died  the  rector  of  a  parish  in  Macon,  Ga.,  where  he  was  buried.  He  went 
south  for  his  health. 

He  graduated  at  Yale  College  with  first  honors,  and  soon  after  his  marriage 
was  settled  at  Poultney,  Vt,  as  pastor  of  a  Presbyterian  church.  While  residing 
there  he  lost  his  property  and  a  very  valuable  library  by  fire.  He  soon  after  gave 
up  preaching  and  followed  teaching  and  surveying. 

From  later  information  it  is  learned  that  he  died  at  the  Indian  Agency,  now 
Crawford  County,  Ga.,  and  lies  buried  on  the  east  side  of  Flint  River  near  the 
site  of  the  old  agency.  When  he  first  went  to  Georgia  he  settled  at  St.  Marys 
and  was  the  rector  there,  taught  school  and  published  an  English  grammar  in 
verse.  He  was  a  classmae  in  college  with  Col.  Hawkins,  the  Indian  agent,  who, 
hearing  of  him  at  St.  Marys  invited  him  to  the  agency,  which  was  at  that  time  at 
Fort  Hawkins,  on  the  east  side  of  the  Ockamulgee  River,  opposite  the  city  of 
Macon.    The  Indian  Agency  was  moved  to  Flint  River  in  1812. 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  a  letter  written  Sept.  20,  1810,  which  gives  an  ac- 
count of  the  death  of  Mr.  Fisk: 

On  the  i6th  Sept.  Died  at  the  residence  of  Col.  Hawkins,  the  Agent  for  Indian 
Affairs  in  the   Creek   department,   Ichabod   F.    Fisk.   A.   M.   and   late  tutor  of  St.

Maries  Academy,  Ga.  This  gentleman  left  his  residence  near  the  old  British  works 
on  Lake  Champlain  in  Vermont  some  years  past,  with  an  inflammation  of  the 
lungs  and  stomaik,  as  he  expressed  it,  to  try  the  effects  of  a  southern  climate.  He 
came  to  the  Creek  agency  in  July  in  pretty  good  health  apparently,  on  his  way  to 
the  Mississippi  Territory  and  stated  his  complaint  and  object  for  visiting  a  warm 
climate.  His  disorder  seamed  at  times  to  be  leaving  him  and  again  returned  in 
the  increased  violence.  He  was  invited  to  return  to  a  seaside  residence  on  the  sea 
islands  of  Georgia  till  the  spring  and  go  thence  by  water.  For  a  month  or  more 
he  amused  himself  in  visits  to  the  Indians  at  their  festivals  or  correcting  for  a  new 
edition  his  practical  Grammar,  also  commenced  the  study  of  the  French  language 
and  flattered  himself  daily  with  a  speedy  recovery.  On  the  9th  of  Sept.  he  was 
confined  to  his  bed;  during  the  night  he  had  frequent  bad  spells.  Slept  mostly  in 
the  day  and  was  able  to  retain  food  or  drink  for  a  short  time  only  on  his  stomaik. 
When  he  could  eat  he  indulged  himself  in  the  heartiest  high  seasoned  food  and 
strongest  drink.  Every  morning  he  reported  himself  better  till  the  day  of  his 
ssialution,  that  morning  he  asked  for  some  soup,  complained  of  being  hungry, 
took  a  spoonfull  or  two  and  drank  sum  sylabub.  About  twelve  oclock  he  ceased 
to  speak  and  half  after  nine  he  was  dead.  When  asked  whether  he  did  not  want 
to  see  his  wife,  he  answered  yes.  He  called  her  name  several  times  and  the  last  was 
"O  death  come."  One  of  Col.  Haskin's  Family  remained  at  his  bedside  during 
the  day  and  two  of  them  during  the  night  at  the  period  of  his  confinement  to  his 
bed  and  he  was  buried  by  the  Colonel's  Family  at  sunset  on  the  17th.  As  he  gave 
no  directions  relative  to  his  family  affairs  the  adjutant  agent.  Major  Linbough,  by 
order  took  an  inventory  of  his  property.  BENJAMIN     HASKINS.

and  his  family  never  saw  or  heard  of  him  afterwards.  It  was  supposed  by  the 
family  at  that  time  that  he  was  impressed  into  the  British  marine  service,  for  in 
those  days  citizens  were  caught  and  smuggled  on  board  ship  unceremoniously. 
There  are  no  entries  on  the  Ellington  records  as  the  following  letter  will  explain: 
Ellington,  Ct.,  July  27,  '96.— F.  C.  Pierce.— Dear  Sir:  Have  made  search  of  records 
second  time — there  certainly  are  no  name  of  Fisks  or  Fiskes  on  Ellington  records 
nor  any  conveyance  of  property  to  or  from  a  Fisk  before  1850.  This  town  was  in- 
corporated in  1786;  from  1768  to  1786  it  was  East  Windsor,  before  1768  Windsor. 
As  you  will  see  by  dates  you  might  be  able  to  find  something  at  East  Windsor. 
Very  truly  yours,  M.  H.  Aborn,  Asst.  Town  Clerk."  Res.  Ellington,  Conn.,  and

New  York,  then  a  new  country.  In  Feb.,  1864,  they  moved  to 
Mt.  Pleasant,  Mich.,  where  they  lived  for  nearly  a  quarter  of  a 
century,  both  passing  from  life  to  death  in  the  house  in  which

he  enlisted  was  only  sixteen  years  old,  and  rather  small  of  his  age;  but  he  suc- 
ceeded in  passing  muster  by  tying  his  hat-band  tight  around  his  hat,  and  putting 
his  hat  as  high  on  his  head  as  he  could  without  having  it  fall  ofif,  and  standing 
erect  as  he  could.  When  he  came  to  the  inspector,  the  latter  said  "march  on," 
while  some  of  the  others  were  rejected.  In  the  battle  of  Bennington,  he,  with 
three  others  were  ordered  by  a  lieutenant  to  carry  Captain  Taylor  from  the  field, 
who  was  wounded  (his  thigh  being  broken).  This  was  a  very  dangerous  and  crit- 
ical position.  It  was  rising  ground,  and  Captain  Taylor  fainting  every  few 
minutes.  The  cannon  balls  would  plow  furrows  as  large  as  those  made  by  a 
breaking-up  plow,  yet  a  kind  Providence  protected  them.  He  was  a  private  in

Jan.  26,  1766;  m.  Sarah  Blanchard,  b.  Sept.  28,  1769;  d.  Nov.  11,  1848.  Ebenezer 
Fiske,  son  of  Ephraim,  was  born  at  Tewksbury,  Mass.,  Jan.  26,  1766,  and  lived  to 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  191 


an  advanced  age.  He  was  one  of  the  first  settlers  at  Little  Pond,  about  1787.  He 
purchased  one  of  iTie  eighty-three  acre  lots,  that  belonged  to  the  Rolfe  Estate, 
and  commenced  at  the  west  end  of  the  lot;  made  an  opening  near  the  road,  and 
put  up  a  shanty,  in  which  he  lived  about  three  years.  He  then  built  a  house. 
Mr.  Fiske  possessed  a  large,  muscular  frame,  which  during  his  long  life  was  sub- 
jected to  severe  labors,  toils  and  hardships.  When  a  young  man  about  twenty- 
one  he  worked  for  a  while  for  Joseph  Colby,  of  New  London,  father  of  Ex-Gov. 
Anthony  Colby.  Going  out  together  in  a  boat  on  a  pond  they  were  upset  and 
Fiske  saved  Colby's  life  by  catching  him  by  the  hair  of  his  head,  when  sinking. 
Soon  after  this  in  raising  the  New  London  meeting  house,  both  Colby  and  Fiske 
were  on  the  frame,  when,  a  board  being  suddenly  moved,  Fiske  fell  and  Colby 
caught  him  by  the  hair  of  his  head  and  saved  his  life.  At  another  time  young 
Fiske  was  threshing  grain  with  Thomas  Morse  of  Hopkinton,  when  Morse  in 
sport  struck  the  end  or  swingel  of  Mr.  Fisk's  flail  and  drove  it  into  his  left  eye. 
He  fell,  and  was  thought  to  be  dead,  but  recovering  Dr.  Philip  Carrigain  was  sent 
for,  who  told  him  that  his  eye  was  spoiled,  and  said  he.  "if  the  eye  should  run  out 
you  would  give  all  Hopkinton  to  get  rid  of  the  pain."  Happily  the  eye  did  not 
run  out,  but  the  sight  of  it  was  completely  destroyed  for  life.  Dr.  Carrigain 
charged  but  two  shilings  for  his  service.  At  the  raising  of  a  barn,  at  what  is  now 
Millville,  when  about  28  years  old,  Mr.  Fiske  says,  "I  fell  from  the  top  or  plate  to 
the  bottom  of  the  cellar;  and  a  stick  of  timber  I  was  lifting,  fell  across  my  breast. 
My  shoulder  was  broken,  and  breast  so  much  bruised  that  it  was  thought  I  could 
not  recover;  but  by  skillful  means  of  a  doctor,  and  a  good  constitution,  I  recov- 
ered, but  felt  the  effects  for  three  or  four  years  after."  About  three  years  after 
Mr.  Fiske  was  upset  in  a  wagon  on  the  road  at  the  top  of  the  hill  west  of  Richard 
Bradley's  and  received  a  severe  cut  in  the  head,  which  for  a  considerable  time 
benumbed  his  faculties.  With  no  education  in  early  life,  he  was  ever  a  good  cal- 
culator and  manager  of  his  affairs,  and  a  reliable,  substantial  citizen.  Res.  Con-

Nov.  23,  1777,  Amey  Lapham,  dau.  of  Abner;  b.  Aug.  29,  1762;  d.  in  the  summer 
of  1843.  There  is  a  tradition  m  the  family  that  Squire  Fiske  served  as  Colonel 
of  a  Rhode  Island  regiment  during  the  Revolutionary  War.  The  records  of 
soldiers  from  that  state  during  the  struggle  for  Independence  show  that  he  was 
an  Ensign  in  Richmond's  Rhode  Island  State  Regiment  from  Nov.  i,  1775  to 
April,  1776.  He  was  later  in  life  granted  a  pension  for  revolutionary  service. 
When  his  daughter,  Abby,  died.  Squire's  wife.  Amy,  took  her  four  children  home 
and  brought  them  up.  She  also  brought  up,  for  a  while  at  least,  Francis'  two 
children,  Ann  Elizabeth  and  William.  Squire  Fisk's  home  at  Cumberland,  Rhode 
Island,  was  a  brick  cottage.  This  had  never  been  transferred  until  some  ten  or 
fifteen  yeads  ago  (perhaps  twenty).  Then  there  were  many  heirs  to  sign  the  deed 
although  the  property  was  not  valuable  enough  to  give  much  to  each  individual. 
I  am  not  sure  that  every  living  heir  did  sign  the  deed,  all  did  that  could  be  found, 
but  enough  signed  so  that  Mr.  Burlingame,  the  purchaser,  was  willing  to  take 
the  property.  This  deed  is  registered  in  the  office  of  the  town  clerk  of  Cum- 
berland.    He  d.  Nov.  30,  1804;  res.  Cumberland.  R.  I,

Benjamin  Wing  Hendrick  was  left  motherless  very  young  and 
his  grandmother,  Mrs.  Amey  Fisk,  took  him  to  live  with  her. 
He  began  life  as  operator  in  a  cotton  mill  when  a  small  boy 
and  rose  through  various  grades  of  the  work  to  the  position 
of  overseer  and  superintendent  and  afterwards,  in  company  with 
his  brother,  Stephen,  and  alone,  he  operated  mills  himself. 
They  had  ventures  in  the  South  as  well  as  in  the  New  Eng- 
land states.  Benjamin's  schooling  was  very  little  but  he  trained 
himself  in  higher  mathematics  when  he  was  older  and  was 
something  of  a  mechanic.  He  patented  at  least  one  "loom- 
motion."  His  experience  at  the  South  before  the  war  made 
him  acquainted  with  the  Southern  people,  and  although  his 
politics  was  republican  (and  I  think  he  always  after  Whig 
times  voted  the  republican  ticket)  yet  he  had  and  would  ex- 
press such  regard  and  admiration  for  the  Southerners  during 
the  war  time  that  his  political  orthodoxy  was  gravely  doubted 
by  many  of  his  relatives.  I  think  he  was  a  rather  admirable 
sort  of  a  man  who  hadn't  much  chance  in  youth  and  who  led  a 
rather  commonplace  and  uneventful  life.  During  the  last  years 
of  his  life  he  took  personal  care  of  his  wife.  His  death  was 
quite     sudden.       His     wife     survived     only     nine     days.       3,

a  worthy  descendant  of  a  French  Huguenot  family  who  were  among  the  early 
settlers  in  this  country.  John  Fiske  occupied  the  old  homestead  farm  in  Cum- 
berland until  April,  1794,  where  his  three  eldest  children  were  born.  In  April,  1794, 
it  became  necessary  to  sell  the  old  homestead  farm  in  Cumberland  in  order  to 
efifect  a  settlement  of  the  estate,  and  John  took  his  share  of  the  proceeds,  in 
Spanish  milled  dollars,  and  put  them  into  his  saddlebags  and  started  on  horse- 
back into  the  interior  of  the  country  to  look  for  a  new  home.  Providence  directed 
his  steps  to  Westboro,  Mass.,  where  he  purchased  a  farm,  and  immediately  removed 
his  family  thither.  Westboro  was  28  miles  from  Cumberland,  and  the  family 
connections  of  his  wife  felt  that  she  was  going  to  remove  almost  to  the  end  of 
the  world;  in  fact,  the  journey  was  thought  more  of  at  that  time  than  a  journey 
to  Oregon  or  California  is  now.  The  family  remained  on  the  farm  in  Westboro 
seven  years,  until  the  year  1801,  and  here  two  more  children  were  born.  In  April, 
1801,  the  farm  in  Westboro  was  sold,  and  another  farm  in  Northborough  pur- 
chased, where  the  family  removed  and  there  remained  until  the  death  of  John 
Fiske,  in  1837,  at  the  age  of  76  years.

Stephen,  with  his  wife,  Hannah,  and  three  children,  Lonson,  aged  about  9,  Samuel, 
about  6  or  7,  and  William,  an  infant,  emigrated  from  Schuylerville,  Saratoga 
Co.,  N.  Y.,  in  the  winter  of  1821,  arriving  in  Newark,  February  5,  1821,  hav- 
ing come  by  wagon  and  eight  days  on  the  road.  Some  of  Stephen's  brothers- 
and  sisters  went  to  that  locality  (either  before  or  after) — one  or  more  set- 
tled in  Michigan,  and  other  remained  in  the  locality  of  their  early  home.  It 
is  said  that  one  of  the  girls  in  the  early  days  owned  fifty  acres  of  land  upon 
which  a  part  of  the  city  of  Saratoga  Springs  is  now  located.  He  d.  July  21,  1855;

d.  Jan  17,  1852,  at  Eden  Vt.  During  the  war  of  1812  he  kept  a  huckster's  store, 
being  honest  and  upright  himself,  trusted  to  others  and  therefore  lost  nearly 
all  his  property;  sold  his  home  in  Goffstown,  N.  H.,  and  was  again  unfortunate 
through  dishonest  people,  lost  nearly  all  of  that.  Came  to  Eden,  Vt.,  about  1808 
or  1809,  the  town  then  almost  a  forest,  and  settled  on  what  is  now  known 
as  Cooper  Hill.  A  few  years  later  fell  from  his  house  (while  fixing  the  chim- 
ney) and  broke  his  leg,  never  walking  again  without  crutch  or  cane.  That  fall 
finished  his  work,  and  after  suffering  for  years,  went  out  for  the  last  time  to- 
his  son  Washington's  wedding,  Jan.  14,  1834.  He  d.  Jan.  31,  1834;  res.  London-

Mass.,  Oct.  i8,  1790;  m.  in  Leverett,  Mass.,  in  May,  1813,  Susanna  Williams,  b.

1850,  Releafy  Blood,  d.  Sept.,  1852.  Jonathan  Fisk,  son  of  Simeon  and  Diana 
(Whitcome)  Fisk,  was  born  at  Shelburne  Falls,  Mass.  He  grew  to  manhood  on 
his  father's  farm.  He  was  married  to  Susanna  Williams,  daughter  of  Rev.  Henry 
Williams,  of  Leverett,  Mass.  In  1816  or  181 7  he  moved  with  his  family,  wife  and 
one  daughter,  to  the  state  of  Georgia,  settling  in  Wilks  County.  In  1819  he 
returned  to  the  north,  settling  in  Windham  County,  Vermont.  About  1824  he 
removed  to  Goshen,  Orange  County,  N.  Y.,  and  in  1834  to  Coshocton,  Ohio, 
where  his  wife  died.  In  1843  he  was  married  to  Mrs.  Maria  Roberts,  who  lived 
but  two  years  after.  In  the  fall  of  1849  he  went  to  Terre  Haute,  Ind.,  where  in  1850 
he  was  married  to  Miss  Releafy  Blood.  He  was  a  farmer  and  mechanic,  a  cooper 
by  trade.  He  was  a  luling  elder  in  the  Presbyterian  Church.  At  the  time  of  the 
War  of  1812  he  was  a  captain  in  the  Massachusetts  militia,  and  was  called  out  in 
the  service  of  the  state,  but  was  never  engaged  in  battle  in  the  national  service.

sas, Mar.  28,  1879.  He  was  born  in  Goshen,  N.  Y.  The  fam- 
ily removed  to  Coshocton,  Ohio,  when  he  was  nine  years  old. 
.  His  mother  died  at  that  place  when  he  was  sixteen.  In  May, 
1846,  he  enlisted  for  twelve  months'  service  in  the  Mexican  war; 
was  in  the  Third  Ohio  Regiment,  Company  B.  This  regiment 
was  not  in  any  of  the  great  battles  of  that  war,  being  much  of  the 
time  in  garrison.  At  the  expiration  of  his  term  he  returned 
to  Ohio.  Soon  afterward  he  went  to  the  southern  part  of  Indi- 
ana, where  he  entered  land  (with  his  land  warrant),  but  did  not 
settle  on  it.  In  1850  he  was  called  to  Princeton,  N.  J.,  by  the 
serious  illness  of  his  eldest  brother,  who  had  just  graduated 
from  the  college  at  that  place.  He  remained  in  the  east  two 
years,  then  returned  to  Indiana,  and  soon  after  engaged  in  the 
marble  business  at  Hutsonville,  111.  In  the  fall  of  1854  he 
closed  his  business  at  that  place,  sold  his  land  in  Indiana,  and 
went  to  Minnesota,  then  a  new  territory.  He  took  up  a  claim 
on  government  land,  as  yet  unsurveyed,  and  yet  only  sixteen 
miles  from  the  site  of  the  present  city  of  Minneapolis.  He 
obtained  this  land  under  the  pre-emption  law,  and  it  was  his 
home  for  twenty-one  years.  In  the  fall  of  1861  he  visited  his 
brother  at  Greencastle,  Ind.,  and  there  enlisted  in  Company  H, 
Forty-third  Indiana  Volunteers.  With  this  regiment  he  was 
in  numerous  battles,  among  which  were  New  Madrid,  Ruddles 
Point,  Helena  and  Marks'  Mill.  Near  the  close  of  his  three 
years'  term  he  was  examined  by  a  military  board  and  recom- 
mended   for    a    captain's    commission,    to    command    colored 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  "  203 


troops.  The  commission  was  issued,  but  before  it  reached  the 
regiment  his  brigade  was  sent  in  charge  of  a  wagon  train  from 
Camden  to  Pine  BkifY,  Ark.  On  the  way,  at  Marks'  Mill,  they 
were  attacked  by  a  strong  force  of  rebels,  and  after  one  of  the 
most  fiercely  contested  battles  of  the  war,  though  not  on  a 
large  scale,  the  lines  were  broken  up  and  they  were  captured 
man  by  man.  Fisk,  who  was  a  sergeant,  was  in  command  of 
the  company  through  this  action,  there  being  no  commissioned 
officer  with  it.  He  with  the  rest  was  taken  to  Tyler,  Tex.,  and 
imprisoned  in  a  stockade.  The  treatment  was  not  so  severe 
as  at  Libby  or  Andersonville,  but  it  was  bad  enough.  The 
whole  long  svmimer  was  spent  in  this  wretched  place,  from 
April  till  late  in  September.  Near  the  end  of  the  latter  month 
he  with  three  others  escaped,  and  after  a  journey  of  forty-eight 
days,  traveling  at  night  and  hiding  during  the  day  much  of  the 
time,  suffering  from  exposure  to  the  weather  with  only  a  single 
suit  of  clothing,  and  that  worn  to  rags  before 'they  started,  and 
from  hunger  almost  to  the  point  of  starvation,  they  finally 
reached  the  Union  lines  at  Little  Rock,  Ark.  As  it  was  then 
considerably  beyond  the  expiration  of  his  term  of  enlistnient, 
he  received  his  discharge,  and  did  not  accept  the  commission 
tendered  him,  but  returned  to  his  home  in  Minnesota.  Dur- 
ing his  absence  in  the  army  the  Indian  war  occurred  in  Minne- 
sota, and  when  he  got  to  his  place  he  found  nothing  left  but 
his  land,  not  a  trace  of  a  building  (except  ashes)  and  not  a  rail 
of  a  fence.  He  went  to  work  to  restore  his  improvements.  In 
this  he  succeeded,  though  it  was  evident  that  his  constitution 
was  permanently  injured  by  his  severe  army  service  and  his 
prison  experience.  He  lived  at  his  Minnesota  home  until  the 
summer  of  1875,  at  which  time  he  sold  out,  and  after  nearly  two 
years  spent  in  travel  and  prospecting,  he  settled  in  Reno 
County,  Kansas,  where  he  again  established  a  home,  but  his 
health  soon  after  became  impaired  and  he  died  on  the  28th  of 
March,   1879.     He  was  never  married.

FIDELIA,  b.  May  i,  1816,  united  with  the  church  at  Shelburne, 
under  the  pastoral  care  of  Rev.  Dr.  Packard,  in  Jan.,  1831.  She 
was  a  pupil  and  then  a  teacher  at  Mount  Holyoke  Female  Sem- 
inary, and  partaking  largely  of  the  spirit  of  Mary  Lyon,  thor- 
oughly accepting  her  views  of  Christian  education,  she  would 
probably  have  been  connected  permanently  with  that  institu- 
tion but  for  the  conviction  in  her  own  mind  that  she  was  called 
to  the  missionary  field.  She  embarked  at  Boston,  for  the  Nes- 
torian  mission,  Mar.  i,  1843,  in  company  with  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Perkins  and  Mar  Yohannan,  returning  to  Persia,  and  Messrs. 
D.  T.  Stoddard  and  E.  E.  Bliss  and  their  wives,  and  Miss  C.  E. 
Myers,  reached  Oroomiah,  June  14,  of  the  same  year,  and  after 
laboring  there  for  fourteen  years,  was  constrained  by  impaired 
health  to  return  to  the  United  States  in  1858,  and  died  at  the 
house  of  her  brother  in  Shelburne,  July  26,   1864. 

One   who   had   known    Miss    Fiske   long   and   well,    says   of 
her    character    and    influence:     "That    she    was    generally    re-

garded  by  those  who  knew  her  as  a  remarkable  woman,  was 
not  owing  to  the  predominance  of  any  one  quahty  in  her  char- 
acter, but  to  a  combination  of  qualities,  intellectual  and  emo- 
tional, surpassing  anything,  as  it  seems  to  me,  that  I  have  ever 
seen  in  any  other  man  or  woman.  I  remember  enough  of  her 
uncle,  Pliny  Fiske,  the  companion  of  Parsons  in  commencing 
the  Palestine  mission,  to  believe  that  he  owed  the  stronghold 
he  had  upon  popular  interest  to  the  same  cause.  Her  emo- 
tional nature  was  wonderfully  sanctified;  and  each  of  her  pow- 
ers being  well  developed,  and  all  nicely  adjusted  one  to  another, 
the  whole  worked  with  regularity  and  ease.  Hence  that  singu- 
lar accuracy  of  judgment,  that  never  failing  sense  of  propriety, 
for  which  she  was  distinguished.  Hence  the  apparent  absence 
of  fatigue  in  her  protracted  conversations  and  conversational 
addresses.  Hence  the  habitual  control  of  her  sanctified  affec- 
tions, over  her  intellectual  powers,  so  that  she  seemed  ever 
ready  at  the  moment,  for  the  call  of  duty,  and  especially  to  meet 
the  claims  of  perishing  souls  around  her.  In  the  structure  and 
the  working  of  her  nature,  she  was  the  nearest  approach  I  ever 
saw  to  my  ideal  of  the  Saviour,  as  he  appeared  when  on  earth. 
"The  amount  of  her  usefulness  is  as  extraordinary  as  her 
character.  The  book  entitled  'Woman  and  her  Saviour  in  Per- 
sia,' strikingly  sets  forth  her  influence  on  Nestorian  character, 
and  I  doubt  not  it  would  be  the  judgment  of  the  mission,  that 
few  of  their  number  exerted  so  great  a  formative  influence  on 
the  Nestorian  mind,  as  did  this  departed  sister.  Certainly  the  tid- 
ings of  no  death  could  awaken  so  many  voices  of  lamentation, 
as  will  the  tidings  of  hers,  over  the  plain  of  Oroomiah,  and  in 
the  glens  and  fastnesses  of  Koordistan."  At  the  time  of  her 
death  was  engaged  in  writing  "Recollections  of  Mary  Lyon" 
(Boston,  1866).  See  the  memoir  of  Miss  Fisk,  by  the  Rev. 
Daniel  T.  Fiske,  D.  D.,  entitled  "Faith  Working  by  Love" 
(1868).

Joel,  third  son  of  Deacon  Moses  and  Hannah  Fiske,  fitted  for  college  at  Mont- 
pelier Academy.  He  read  theology  with  Rev.  Charles  Walker,  D.  D.,  of  Rutland, 
Vt.,  1825-26,  graduated  at  Middlebury  College,  Vermont,  in  1825,  in  which 
State  he  principally  labored  in  the  ministry.  He  was  distinguished  for  originality 
of  thought  rather  than  depth  of  research,  but  also  for  great  zeal  and  devotion  to  his 
Master's  service.  In  this,  his  efiforts  were  greatly  blessed,  for  many  souls,  through 
his  instrumentality,  were  brought  to  the  knowledge  of  redeeming  grace.  His  dis- 
courses usually  produced  a  marked  impression.  Sometimes  a  Scriptural  truth 
would  be  presented  in  such  relations  that  the  congregation  would  be  thrilled  and 
set  to  thinking  as  for  their  lives.  He  began  his  ministry  at  about  thirty  years  of 
age  and  was  successively  settled  in  Monkton  1826-30  and  New  Haven,  Vt.,  1830-32

plete his  education,  gave  way  altogether,  after  three  years  of  a  most  useful  ministry. 
He  was  noted  for  vivacity  yet  soundness  of  mind,  for  quickness  of  apprehension

Mar.,  1879.  Lyman  Fiske,  fifth  son  of  Deacon  Moses  and  Hannah  Fiske,  was  a 
substantial  citizen  in  Waitesfield,  Vt.,  and  a  deacon  of  the  Congregational  Church 
in  that  place.  He  was  a  cooper  by  trade  and  followed  farming  most  of  his  life. 
No  one  acquainted  with  the  religious  history  of  the  town  of  Waitesfield  can  forget 
the  constant  part  in  it  of  Deacon  Fisk.  Almost  from  the  beginning  of  the  Congre- 
gational organization  he  has  been  identified  with  it.  Deacon  Fisk's  very  name  is 
both  an  honored  inheritance  and  an  honored  legacy.  On  the  8th  of  Nov.,  1801, 
his  father  became  a  member  of  the  church,  and  soon  after  was  made  deacon,  a 
position  which  he  held  honorably  for  more  than  forty  years.  Lyman  professed 
his  Christian  faith  in  his  sixteenth  year,  and  a  few  years  before  his  father's  death, 
which  occurred  in  1847,  was  also  elected  deacon,  serving  forty  years.  The  family 
connection  with  this  sacred  office  is  perpetuated  in  his  nephew,  Deacon  E.  A.  Fisk.

Waitesfield  and  purchased  a  small  farm,  and  for  a  time  followed  his  trade  in  con- 
nection with  it.  In  after  years  by  various  additions  to  the  original  purchase  he 
became  the  owner  of  an  excellent  farm  which  fully  occupied  his  time.  He  was  a 
man  of  good  business  ability,  and  unblemished  Christian  character.  His  early 
opportunities  for  education  were  limited,  but  he  kept  himself  well  abreast  with 
the  times  by  thorough  and  systematic  reading.  For  over  fifty  years  he  was  a  faith-

913-  HON.  JONATHAN  FISKE  (Jonathan,  William,  Ebenezer,  William, 
William,  John,  William,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Symond),  b.  Amherst, 
N.  H.,  Sept.  6,  1773;  m.  Livingston.  Jonathan,  eldest  son  of  Judge  Jona- 
than Fiske,  started  from  Williamstown,  Vt.,  for  Ne.w  York  City,  where  he  sup- 
ported himself  for  some  years  by  teaching  school,  meantime  devoting  himself 
to  a  thorough  study  of  the  mystery  of  law.  A  good  classical  scholar,  he  bad 
among  his  more  distinguished  pupils  Theodosia,  only  daughter  and  child  of  Aaron 
Burr.  After  being  admitted  to  the  bar,  Mr.  Fiske  established  himself  in  a  very 
successful  practice  of  law  at  Newburgh,  N.  Y.,  until  he  was  chosen  a  representative 
of  Congress  during  the  first  term  of  President  Madison's  administration,  by  whom 
he  was  subsequently  appointed  to  the  office  of  the  United  States  attorney  for  the 
southern  district  of  New  York.  From  the  pecuniary  emolument  of  his  extensive 
practice,  while  in  this  position,  he  speedily  acquired  a  handsome  property. 

Jonathan  Fiske  was  a  man  of  fine  figure,  tall,  well  proportioned,  of  courtly 
manners  and  elegant  address.  He  was  married  to  a  descendant  of  the  Livingston 
family  of  New  York  and  had  four  children,  Mary,  the  latter,  a  very  lovely  child. 
Theodore  was  a  man  of  bright  talents,  educated  at  Columbia  College,  New  York 
City,  and  settled  in  the  practice  of  law  with  his  father  at  Newburgh.  Jonathan  Fiske 
died  in  1823,  and  his  children,  none  of  whom  ever  married,  followed  him  some 
years  later.  The  family  has  now  become  extinct.  He  d.  1823;  res.  Newburgh,

chant in  Williamstown,  where  he  was  married  by  his  father  to  Hannah  Martin. 
In  1816-17  he  removed  thence  to  Newburgh,  N.  Y.,  where  his  eldest  brother  had 
been  engaged  in  the  practice  of  law,  and  there  remained  about  three  years,  when 
he  removed  to  the  town  of  Liberty,  Sullivan  County,  N.  Y.,  and  drove  the  stakes 
of  his  future  home  in  what  was  then  the  depth  of  a  primeval  forest,  but  which  is 
now  the  site  of  a  flourishing  village  called  Parksville.  He  cut  down  the  first  tree 
and  erected  the  first  building  in  the  place.  An  original  settler,  he  was  for  many 
years  one  of  the  leading  men  of  the  town;  a  deacon  of  the  Baptist  Church.  Dur- 
ing the  latter  j^ears  of  his  life  he  was  surrounded  by  many  of  his  descendants, 
venerable  in  years  and  greatly  esteemed  in  the  community.     Nine  of  his  grandsons

Samuel  Lolly  Fiske,  youngest  son  of  Judge  Jonathan  Fiske,  was  appointed  register 
of  probate  by  his  father  at  the  age  of  16  years,  which  position  he  retained  until 
his  father  retired  from  public  life.  In  the  spring  of  1820  he  removed  with  his  aged 
parents  to  Berlin.  Vt.,  and  settled  on  a  farm,  ministering  to  their  necessities  until 
their  death.  In  1827  Mr.  Fiske  returned  to  Williamstown  and  resided  there  sev- 
eral years,  filling  in  a  measure  his  father's  place  in  that  community.  In  1840,  sensi- 
ble of  the  importance  of  giving  his  children  better  educational  facilities  than  were 
within  reach  at  that  point,  he  removed  to  Malone,  N.  Y..  and  placed  them  in  the 
Franklin  Academy,  where  his  oldest  son,  Pliny,  a  promising  student,  was  fitted 
to  enter  Burlington  College  the  very  year  he  died,  and  his  two  daughters  were 
also  qualified  to  become  successful  teachers,  which  they  afterwards  did  for  some 
years.  Mr.  Fiske  was  elected  deacon  of  the  Congregational  Church  in  Wil- 
liamstown in  1832,  and  upon  his  removal  to  Malone,  he  was  re-elected  to  that  po- 
sitution  in  1844.  Deacon  Fiske  was  never  a  seeker  for  political  emolument  or  distinc- 
tion, but  nevertheless  has  on  various  occasions  been  honored  by  the  free  prefer- 
ence of  his  townsmen  for  local  or  county  offices.  A  man  of  the  strictest  integrity 
and  sound  judgment  of  benevolent  Christian  aims,  he  sought  rather  to  do  the 
work  of  a  faithful  servant  of  Christ  than  to  win  applause  of  men.  The  worthy 
scion  of  the  Puritan  stock,  he  lived  a  busy,  useful  life,  and  left  to  his  surviving 
children  a  spotless  name  and  example.     Res.  Berlin  and  Williamstown,  Vt.

son  and  second  child  of  Hon.  Wm.  and  Eunice  Nourse  Fiske,  was  born  at  Amherst, 
N.   H.       His  father  was  a  farmer  and  shoemaker.     The  sterility  of  the  land,  the 
poverty  following  the  Revolution,  and  his  father's  having  a  large  family  of  chil- 
dren, compelled  him  to  assist  in  the  support  of  the  family.     He  worked  on  the 
farm  in   summer,   on  the  shoe  bench  in   winter,  and  received  but  a  very  limited 
education,  being  but  a  few  months  in  the  public  schools  of  that  day.     He,  however, 
gained  much  knowledge  from  reading  by  the  light  of  pine  knots   during  winter 
evenings.     After  he  arrived  at  the  age   of  twenty-one,   he  attended   the   Amherst 
Academy  for  over  a  year,  taught  school,  and  in  May,   1799,  moved  to  Maine  and 
bought  land  in  Fayette.     He  soon  after  married  Melenda  Blake,  daughter  of  Rob- 
ert and  Martha  Dudley  Blake,   who  were  natives  of  New   Ipswich,   N.   H.     He 
settled  on  his  land,  where  he  and  his  wife  enjoyed  a  married  life  of  over  sixty-seven 
years,  she  dying  at  the  age  of  eighty-four.     He  survived  her  two  years  and  died  at 
the  age  of  ninety-four  years  and  six  months.     There  were  born  unto  them  sixteen 
children,  twelve  of  whom  grew  to  manhood  and  womanhood.     Robert  Blake  was  a 
Revolutionary   soldier,   and   Martha   Dudley,   a   descendant   of  the   Dudley   family 
of  England,    both    being    descendants    of    early     New     England    colonists.     Me- 
lenda   Blake     inherited    the    resolute    and     sterling     qualities     of    her    parents, 
and    much    of  Ezra     Fiske's  success     in     life    must    be     accredited    to    her     as- 
sistance.    Ezra  Fiske  in  early  life  evinced  mechanical  ingenuity,  and  at  sixteen, 
with  but  few  tools  to  work  with,  made  a  violin  without  assistance.     In  after  life 
he  invented  a  number  of  useful  machines,  among  which  was  the  machine  which 
first  successfully  molded  brick.     He  made  the  models  and  many  of  the  drafts  of 
his  inventions  for  the  patent  ofifice.     He  entered  the  militia  in  the  town  of  Fayette 
as  drummer,  and  became  successively  Clerk  and  Lieutenant  of  the  company,  and 
served  as  Adjutant  during  two  colonelcies.     He  taught  in  the  public  schools  for 
twenty-one  years  and  served  on  the  board  of  school  examiners  for  twenty-three 
years.     He  revised  Fiske-Murray's  "Grammar  for  Advanced  Students."  producing 
a  work  for  the  primary  grades.     He  served  for  twenty-two  years  on  the  Board 
of  Selectmen   of  his   town.      He   served  as  Justice   of  the   Peace  successively  for 
thirty-five  years.     He  represented  his  town  in  the   Massachusetts   Legislature  in 
1812-13,  and  the  Maine  Legislature  in  1829-31,  and  was  also  a  member  of  the  Con- 
stitutional Convention  which  formed  the  constitution  of  the  State  of  Maine.     He 
was    a   member   of   the    Massachusetts    Legislature    when    Elbridge    Gerry    intro- 
duced the  first  "Gerrymander  Bill."  and  although  of  the  same  politics  as  Mr.  Gerry, 
bitterly  opposed  the  bill  as  not  only  outraging  the  rights  of  the  people,   but  as 
being  impolitic.     He   held   political   office   over   forty-five   years.     In   politics,    his 
admiration  for  the  views  held  by  Washington  and  Hamilton,  and  his  fears  of  the 
French  red  republican  influence  over  Jefiferson,  made  him  a  stanch  follower  of  the 
former  and  their  successors.     He  afterwards  became  a  Whig,  and  died  a  Repub- 
lican.    In  his  religious  views  he  was  reared  a  Congregationalist,  the  views  of  which 
church  he  early  embraced;  but  afterwards  became  a  Baptist,  and  lived  an  honored 
member  of  that  denomination  for  sixty-seven  years.     In  both  his  politics  and  re- 
ligion he  differed  from  the  other  members  of  his  father's  family.     He  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Masonic  order  for  sixty-seven  years,   and  at  his  death  was  the  oldest 
Mason  in  the  State  of  Maine.     His  funeral  was  conducted  by  the  Masonic  order. 
Although    commencing   with    but   limited   education,    by    self-instruction,    he    suc- 
ceeded in  acquiring  a  great  fund  of  general  information. 

The  children  of  Ezra  and  Melinda  Fiske  inherited  excellent  constitutions 
and  fine  natural  abilities,  improved  in  some  instances  by  a  knowledge  of  books  and 
familiar  intercourse  with  the  world.  The  sons  were  active,  stirring  and  enter- 
prising men,  and  the  daughters  comely  and  well  favored  personally.  Francis 
Nourse,  the  eldest,  was  a  substantial  and  respectable  farmer  in  his  native  town.

Allen  was  for  many  years  a  member  of  the  Kennebec  bar  and  also  served  as  Justice 
of  the  Peace.  Franklin,  perhaps  the  best  educated  of  the  family,  was  a  success- 
ful teacher  in  several  of  the  States,  traveled  extensively  and  possessed  good  literary 
abilities. 

When  the  Rebellion  broke  out,  the  family  of  Ezra  Fiske  partook  of  the 
military  spirit  which  swept  through  the  North.  Franklin  early  enlisted  and  became 
a  Captain  in  one  of  the  famous  Illinois  cavalry  regiments.  His  brother  Allen 
served  as  a  Lieutenant  in  the  Maine  Twelfth  Volunteers.  Their  nephews,  Allen, 
William  and  Philip,  sons  of  Francis  Nourse,  enlisted  respectively  in  the  Maine 
Seventh,  and  Twelfth,  and  Fifth  Connecticut  regiments,  and  did  good  service  under

kind  hand  of  Providence  which  has  upheld  me  in  life  through  this  long  series  of 
years,  and  has  dealt  bountifully  with  me  and  towards  me  in  every  stage  of  my  life, 
and  now  this  morning  I  am  numbered  among  the  living,  in  the  enjoyment  of  com- 
fortable health.  O,  that  I  could  render  to  the  Lord  all  due  returns  of  gratitude, 
thanksgiving  and  praise  for  his  bountiful  goodness  unto  me,  in  the  kingdom  of  his 
providence  and  Grace.     Amen."

were  among  the  earliest  emigrants  to  Amherst,  N.  H.  As  thiee  of  them  inter- 
married with  the  family  of  Hon.  William  Fiske,  doubtless  a  number  of  the  latter's 
descendants  are  equally  interested  in  w-hat  relates  to  the  Dodge  ancestry.  Of  Mr. 
Dodge's  parentage  and  family,  the  date  of  his  birth  and  marriage,  no  account  has 
been  furnished  us.  He  was  descended  from  Richard  Dodge,  of  Salem,  Mass.,  who 
emigrated  from  England  in  1638.  According  to  Savage,  he  is  the  progenitor  of 
all  the  name  in  New  England.  He  had,  by  wife  Edith,  John,  Mary,  Richard, 
Samuel,  Edward  and  Joseph.  They,  and  their  descendants,  appear  to  have  partici- 
pated largely  in  public  affairs  in  Wenham  and  adjacent  towns.  Eighteen  of  this 
name  have  graduated  at  New  England  colleges  since  A.  D.  1700.  In  Wenham, 
according  to  the  records,  several  of  this  family  married  Fiskes. 

William  Fiske,  of  Concord,  was  the  third  child  and  second  son  of  Hon.  Wil- 
liam and  Eunice  Fiske.  In  features  and  in  stature  he  resembled  his  father,  but  his 
disposition  and  character  was  more  like  his  mother's.  Like  his  brothers  ,he  grew 
up  amid  the  labors  of  his  father's  family,  until  he  was  21  years  of  age.  Then, 
after  visiting  Maine  and  looking  about  him,  for  two  or  three  years,  at  the  age  of  24 
he  married  Margaret  C.  Dodge,  of  Amherst,  and  settled  at  Concord,  N.  H. 
They  became  members  of  the  Congregational  Church  in  Concord  at  an  early  date,

They  became  members  of  the  Congregational  church  in  Concord  at  an  early  date. 
They  first  located  themselves  at  Concord,  "West  Parish,"  where  he  erected  several 
buildings,  a  public  dwelling  and  store,  and  resided  there  several  years.  But,  in 
1832,  he  bought  a  lot  and  built  him  a  house  in  the  village  of  Concord.  He  died 
there,  aged  76  years.  His  wife  w^as  the  daughter  of  Bartholomew  Dodge,  of

November,  1850,  she  was  married  to  Charles  T.  Bradley,  Esq., 
of  Milwaukee,  Wis.  Mary  A.  Walker,  the  eldest  daughter, 
lived  with  her  parents.  Mrs.  M.  C.  Walker  was  married  Oct. 
21,  1836,  to  William  Jennison.  Charles  T.  Bradley  was  the  sev- 
enth of  a  family  of  nine  children,  born  in  Haverhill,  Mass.  His 
father,  Enoch  B.,  was  the  son  of  Joseph  Bradley,  of  Haverhill. 
His  mother  was  a  daughter  of  Dr.  Samuel  Hildreth,  of 
Methuen,  in  that  State.  The  Bradleys  were  among  the  first 
settlers  in  New  England,  but  it  is  not  known  that  the  original 
families  were  all  closely  related.  Mr.  Joseph  Bradley,  above 
referred  to,  was  quite  probably  a  descendant  of  Daniel  Brad- 
ley, who  was  a  passenger  by  the  ship  "Elizabeth,"  1635,  who 
was  killed  by  the  Indians  at  Haverhill,  1689,  and  whose  family 
for  several  generations  experienced  great  sufferings  at  the 
hands  of  the  savages.  He  had  several  children,  and  among 
them  Daniel,  Abraham,  Joseph  and  Isaac— the  latter  was  car- 
ried into  captivity,  1695.  Daniel,  with  his  wife  and  younger 
children,  and  Joseph,  with  their  sisters,  Martha  and  Sarah, 
were  massacred  in  1697.  In  1704  the  garrison  house  of  a  grand- 
son, Joseph,  son  of  Joseph,  was  surprised,  burned  down,  and 
his  wife  (in  delicate  circumstances)  taken  a  second  time  pris- 
oner, and  carried  to  Canada,  where  she  was  sold  into  bond- 
age until  redeemed  the  following  year.  In  1746,  Jonathan  and 
Samuel  Bradley,  sons  of  Abraham  above,  were  massacred 
with  others  in  New  Hampshire,  by  the  same  relentless  foe. 
Such  were  the  perils  and  such  the  sufferings  encountered  by 
our  fathers,  in  early  days.  Joseph  Bradley,  of  Haverly,  was 
the  ancestor  of  Hon.  John  Bradley,  of  Concord,  N.  H.:  also 
of  Deacon  Amos  Bradley,  of  Dracut,  Mass.,  and  of  Enoch 
Bradley,  Esq.,  of  Haverhill.

Hon.  Francis  N.  Fiske  was  the  third  son  and  fourth  child  of  Hon.  William  and 
Eunice  Fiske.  Remained  with  his  father  until  1802,  when  he  went  to  Maine; 
taught  school  there  most  of  time  until  1809,  when  he  returned  to  New  Hamp- 
shire. In  1810  he  located  himself  in  trade  at  Concord,  and  continued  in  that  busi- 
ness up  to  1853.  In  March,  1819.  he  was  elected  town  clerk  of  Concord,  and  was 
elected  to  the  same  office  fourteen  consecutive  years.  In  1825,  and  also  in  1826,  he  was 
elected  representative  to  the  general  court.  In  1827-29-30  he  was  elected  Coun- 
selor for  the  district  of  Rockingham.  He  was  chosen  president  of  the  Merrimack 
county  bank  in  January,  1847,  and  continued  the  same  for  thirteen  consecutive 
years.  He  was  also  president  of  the  New  Hampshire  savings  bank  in  Concord,  for 
several  years.  He  was  married  by  the  Rev.  Dr.  Asa  McFarland,  of  Concord,  to 
Mrs.  Mary  Emery,  daughter  of  Judge  Timothy  Walker,  of  Concord.  They 
both  united  with  the  First  Congregational  Church,  Concord,  in  1831.  As  a  son  and 
brother,  as  a  husband,  father  and  citizen  and  in  all  the  relations  of  life,  if  Francis 
Nourse  Fiske  were  not  absolutely  blameless,  none  were  more  nearly  so.  Besides 
a  good  common  school  education  he  obtained  at  the  academy  of  Amherst,  a  fair 
introduction  to  the  higher  English  branches.  Mrs.  Mary  Emery  was  the  daughter 
of  Judge  Timothy  Walker,  of  Concord,  N.  H.  Judge  Walker  of  Concord,  was 
descended  from  Deacon  Samuel  Walker,  of  Woburn,  Mass.,  whose  eldest  son, 
Timothy,  born  1705,  was  a  graduate  of  Harvard  College,  1725,  and  ordained  the 
first  pastor  of  the  Congregational  Church  in  Concord,  in  1730,  and  died  there  in 
1782,  in  the  52d  year  of  his  ministry.  He  married  Sarah  Burbeen,  of  Woburn, 
and  had  five  children.  His  only  son.  Judge  Timothy  Walker,  born  in  1737,  was 
for  many  years  among  the  most  prominent  of  the  early  public  men  in  New 
Hampshire.  He  was  a  colonel  and  paymaster  in  the  army  of  the  Revolution,  a 
member  of  both  houses  of  Common  Pleas,  and,  in  1798,  the  Republican  candidate 
for  Governor,  against  John  Taylor  Gilman.  a  distinguished  federalist.  He  mar- 
ried Esther,  daughter  of  Rev.  Joseph  Burbeen.  of  Woburn,  and  of  their  fourteen 
children,  the  thirteenth  was  Mary,  born  in  1786,  who  was  married  to  Hon.  Francis 
N.  Fiske.  as  above.  The  family  and  descendants  of  Rev.  Timothy  Walker  have 
been  largely  identified  with  the  growth  and  prosperity  of  Concord,  and  in  the 
voluminous  historical  work  of  Rev.  Dr.  Nathaniel  Bouton,  of  that  city,  they  are

Dr.  William  Gilman  Perry  was  the  eldest  son  of  Dr.  Will- 
iam and  Abigail  (Gilman)  Perry,  of  Exeter,  N.  H.  The  Perry 
family  is  of  English  stock,  and  their  ancestors  were  among  the 
earliest  emigrants  who  settled  in  the  Old  Colony.  Nathan 
Perry,  the  father  of  Dr.  William,  of  Exeter,  was  born  in 
Attleboro,  Mass.  In  early  life  he  removed  and  settled  in  Nor- 
ton, of  that  State,  where  he  married  Phebe  Braman,  and  lived 
and   died  a   respectable   farmer.

Chapman,  b.  Aug.  24,  1797,  d.  May  7,  1834, 
eldest  daughter  of  Nathaniel  Chapman,  Esq., 
who  was  descended  from  an  ancient  and  honor- 
able family  of  that  name  in  Connecticut.  She 
was  a  lady  of  rare  beauty  and  accomplishments, 
well  fitted  to  adorn  any  station  in  life,  was  for 
some  years  eminently  successful  as  a  teacher  of 
young  women  in  the  higher  educational 
branches  of  study,  and  though  called  to  an  early 
grave,  she  left  behind  her  a  sweet  memory  that 
was  cherished  by  a  wide  circle  of  admirers  and 
friends.  Nathaniel  Chapman  was  one  of  a  fam- 
ily of  four  sons  and  one  daughter,  children  of 
Phineas  Chapman,  Esq.,  who  was  the  son  of 
Deacon  Caleb,  who  was  the  son  of  Deacon 
Nathaniel,  who  was  the  youngest  son  of  Hon. 
Robert  Chapman,  one  of  the  original  settlers  of 
Saybrook,  and  who,  besides  filling  other  im- 
portant offices  in  the  gift  of  his  townsmen,  represented  that  town  for  thirty 
consecutive  years  in  the  Connecticut  Legislature,  viz.,  from  1654  to  1684,  num- 
bering during  that  period  over  fifty  separate  sessions.  His  son,  Deacon  Nathaniel, 
of  the  Saybrook  (Cong.)  Church,  represented  the  same  town  in  twenty-four 
sessions  of  that  body,  from  1697  to  1723.  His  son,  Caleb,  succeeded  him  in  the 
inheritance  of  the  ancient  Chapman  homestead,  and  also  as  deacon  of  the 
Saybrook  Church.  Allen  Fiske  m.  2d,  Sept.,  1835,  Mrs.  Maria  Stokes,  b.  1796,  in 
Montrose,  Scotland,  d.  Oct.,  1863.  Allen,  fourth  son  of  Hon.  William  and  Eunice 
(Nourse)  Fiske.  was  born  in  Amherst,  N.  H.  Delicate  in  his  youth  the  plans  of 
his  life  were  left  undecided  until  he  was  nineteen  years  of  age,  when  he  began  his 
preparation  for  college,  and  soon  after  entering  Dartmouth,  at  Hanover,  N.  H., 
he  graduated  in  the  summer  of  1814.  At  college  he  held  a  very  respectable 
standing,  ranking  as  third  in  his  class,  and  was  honored  by  election  to  the  Phi 
Beta  Kappa  Society,  in  recognition  of  his  scholarship.  Going  to  New  York  the 
following  winter,  he  entered  the  law  ofifice  of  Hon.  Jonathan  Fiske  in  the  spring 
of  1816,  where  he  continued  until  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1819.  Mr.  Fiske 
was  peculiarly  well  fitted  for  the  office  of  instructor  of  youth,  and  tiring  of  the  law 
after  a  brief  practice,  he  betook  himself  to  his  favorite  role  as  the  principal  of 
grammar  schools,  designed  to  prepare  young  men  for  college.  Called  to  take 
charge  of  such  departments  in  the  academies  located  in  Troy,  Auburn  and 
Skaneateles.  N.  Y..  he  made  a  brilliant  success  in  this  field,  was  largely_  in-

distinction,  and  probably  more  than  any  others  of  his  day  helped  to  raise  the 
standard  of  education  in  the  state.  He  was  the  author  of  several  text  books  widely 
in  use  in  the  schools  of  New  York  and  New  England,  notably  Murray's  English 
Grammar  simplified  and  adapted  to  popular  use,  and  Fiske's  Elements  of  Latin 
Grammar  for  High  Schools.  Mr.  Fiske,  in  addition  to  his  rare  gifts  as  teacher, 
also  possessed  the  pen  of  a  ready  writer,  and  was  a  frequent  and  valued  contributor 
to  the  columns  of  the  eastern  press.  He  was  at  different  times  on  the  editorial 
stafif  of  several  prominent  journals  of  his  day,  was  a  leading  writer  for  a  number 
of  popular  magazines  and  quarterlies,  and  for  several  years  conducted  a  very 
popular  home  journal.  To  the  very  last  years  of  his  life  Mr.  Fiske  retained  to  a 
remarkable  degree  the  vigor  of  his  intellectual  powers,  and  when  past  the  age  of 
three-score  and  ten  years,  was  accustomed  to  keep  up  his  familiar  acquaintance 
with  the  classic  authors,  and  even  when  the  physical  infirmities  of  an  octogenarian 
prevented  him  from  engaging  longer  in  the  activities  of  outdoor  life,  he  occupied 
himself  in  writing  full  commentaries  on  the  entire  New  Testament. 

At  the  ripe  age  of  86  years,  in  the  full  possession  of  his  faculties,  with  an 
unclouded  trust  and  holy  peace  and  saintly  resignation,  Allen  Fiske,  after  a  brief 
illness,  on  Sept.  i8th,  1875,  fell  asleep  in  Jesus,  and  was  gathered  unto  his  fathers, 
"having  the  testimony  of  a  good  conscience,  in  the  communion  of  the  Holy 
Catholic  Church,  in  the  confidence  of  a  certain  faith,  in  the  comfort  of  a  reason- 
able, religious  and  holy  hope,  and  in  perfect  charity  with  the  world!"  His  remains 
were  taken  to  Auburn,  N.  Y.,  for  interment. 

Allen  Fiske  was  a  well  read  man,  not  only  in  English  literature,  but  the 
classics  also,  and  Homer's  Iliad  was  as  familiar  to  him  as  Shakespeare.  But  the 
Holy  Scriptures  were  his  especial  delight.  From  private  papers  it  appears  that 
before  his  seventieth  year  he  had  read  the  Bible  through  by  regular  course  over 
forty  times,  and  portions  of  the  New  Testament  many  more  times.  During  his 
long  career  as  a  teacher  he  had  received  from  his  pupils  many  valued  souvenirs  of 
their  regard,  but  the  most  touching  testimony  came  at  his  decease,  when  about 
his  remains  were  gathered  at  the  cemetery  in  Auburn,  N.  Y.,  where  the  committal 
took  place,  nearly  a  score  of  prominent  gentlemen,  in  middle  life,  who  after  more 
than  thirty  years  had  elapsed,  came  from  their  homes  to  testify  by  their  presence 
their  profound  appreciation  of  the  service  he  had  rendered  to  them  as  their  early 
instructor,  and  to  pay  this  heartfelt  homage  to  his  memory.  He  d.  Sept.  18,  1875;

m.  Nov.  T.  1854,  Dr.  J.  Asa  Kennicott.  Early  manifesting  a 
remarkable  precocity  and  strength  of  character,  she  greatly  re- 
sembled her  mother  also  in  personal  charms  and  indomitable 
energy.  At  the  age  of  thirteen,  during  her  mother's  illness  and 
afterwards,  she  took  charge  of  the  female  department  of 
Auburn  Academy,  of  which  her  father  was  then  principal,  and 
discharged  her  duties  in  this  position  with  such  dignity  and 
ability  as  to  attract  the  notice  of  other  educators.  At  the  age  of 
sixteen  she  was  engaged  as  preceptress  of  the  Aurora  (N.  Y.) 
Female  Academy,  notwithstanding  the  rule  in  force  of  the 
board  of  trustees,  which  prescribed  eighteen  as  the  minimum 
age,  and  was  eminently  successful  in  that  capacity.  In  1841, 
when  her  father  took  charge  of  the  academy  in  Skaneateles, 
N.  Y.,  she  again  became  his  assistant,  as  head  of  the  female  de- 
partment and  filed  the  position  with  entire  satisfaction.  Subse- 
quently, on  the  removal  of  the  family  to  Troy,  N.  Y.,  she  en- 
tered (1844-5)  Mrs.  Willard's  Seminary,  to  perfect  herself  in 
music,  painting,  French,  and  higher  mathematics,  and  graduat- 
ing with  credit  eighteen  months  later,  she  became  a  teacher 
in  that  famous  institution.  In  1849,  after  a  brief  visit  with 
friends  in  New  York  City,  she  went  to  Chicago,  and  estab- 
lished the  Chicago  Female  Seminary,  the  pioneer  of  all  such 
institutions  in  the  great  West,  and  for  several  years  she  con- 
ducted that  school  with  signal  popularity,  having  in  the  various 
departments  instructors  of  the  highest  ability,  and  at  one  time 
a  scholar-roll  of  over  one  hundred  pupils.  In  1854  she  was 
united  in  marriage  to  Dr.  J.  Asa  Kennicott,  a  leading  dentist  of

the  city,  and  well  known  in  scientific  circles,  and  for  fifteen 
years  retired  to  domestic  life.  In  1869,  with  the  view  of  giving 
her  three  daughters  the  best  educational  advantages,  she  es- 
tablished in  her  own  beautiful  home  at  Kenwood,  Chicago,  a 
girl's  school  which  soon  became  widely  known  as  the  Ken- 
wood Female  Seminary,  with  the  patronage  of  the  best  Chicago 
families,  and  a  large  roll  of  pupils  drawn  from  all  quarters  of 
the  west  and  south.  While  in  the  full  tide  of  prosperity,  she 
was  compelled,  on  account  of  ill  health,  to  transfer  the  manage- 
ment of  the  school  to  other  hands,  and  in  1878  she  engaged  to 
chaperon  a  good-sized  class  abroad,  and  with  this  charge  spent 
a  year  in  Europe,  visiting  the  various  places  of  mterest,  but 
more  especially  the  art  galleries  and  salons,  where  her  class 
received  instruction  in  art,  music  and  modern  languages.  On 
her  return  from  Europe  she  decided  not  to  resume  charge  of 
the  seminary,  but  opened  a  studio,  in  connection  with  her 
eldest  daughter.  Miss  Maud  Kennicott,  who  was  a  member  of 
the  class  that  went  abroad,  and  gave  instruction  in  the  higher 
grades  of  art,  with  special  favor  and  success.  Mrs.  Kennicott's 
work  in  crayon,  pastel  and  oil  has  been  catalogued  and  ex- 
hibited in  the  art  galleries  of  the  leading  expositions  of  the 
country,  especially  those  of  Chicago,  New  York  and  New  Or- 
leans, and  has  been  honored  with  distinguished  commendation 
and  patronage.  Her  productions  in  frviit  work  have  not  been 
excelled  by  any  artist  in  this  country  or  Europe,  and  are  simply 
exquisite.  And  the  same  might  be  said  of  much  of  her  other 
work,  especially  her  canvas  representations  of  the  various 
specimens  of  the  American  flora,  which  have  been  much  ad- 
mired. Indeed,  faultless  gems  from  her  easel  may  be  foimd  in 
the  homes  of  the  wealthy  all  through  the  land,  associated  with 
the  best  work  of  modern  masters.  In  1886  her  husband,  Dr. 
Kennicott,  was  stricken  with  paralysis,  and  as  he  became  a 
hopeless  and  for  years  almost  a  helpless  invalid,  her  studies  in 
art  from  this  date  were  practically  ended  in  her  devotion  to 
him.  Since  his  demise  in  1893,  Mrs.  Kennicott  has  lived  a 
very  retired  life,  passing  the  evening  of  her  days  pleasantly, 
with  her  children  all  near  her.  solaced  by  the  reflection  that 
her  busy  life  had  been  at  least  a  very  useful  one,  and  repre- 
sentative of  the  highest  grade  of  American  womanhood.  To 
her  were  born  three  daughters,  as  follows:  Isabella  Mavid, 
born  Dec.  21,  1856;  married  Dr.  T.  J.  Reid.  2d,  Mabel  Blanche, 
born  August  16.  1858;  married  Frederick  Grant  Gleason.  3d. 
Ada  Mary  Walker,  born  August  i,  i860;  presides  with  grace 
as  mistress  of  the  homestead.  Inheriting  in  a  larqe  degree  the 
talents  of  their  mother,  the}'  have  by  her  judicious  training 
acquired  accomplishments  which  fit  them  for  anv  station  in 
life. 

Dr.  Kennicott  is  a  younger  son  of  Jonathan  Kennicott,  who 
was  born  in  Warren.  R.  I.,  April  27,  1775,  and  a  grandson  of 
Robert,  of  that  State,  who  was  descended  from  Dr.  Robert 
Kennicott,  of  London,  a  distinguished  English  scholar  and 
savant,  and  presumed  to  be  related  to  Benjamin  Kennicott, 
D.  D.,  regius  professor  in  Oxford  University  during  the  last 
century,  and  a  bishop  in  the  Church  of  England.  In  1832  the 
family  removed  to  Illinois,  before  Chicago  could  boast  of  a 
hundred  buildings,  and  when  the  great  Northwest  was  a  com- 
parative wilderness.  Establishing  themselves  I'l'On  a  large 
tract  of  land,  in  one  of  the  most  desirable  locations  in  the 
State  (about  twenty  miles  northwest  of  Chicago),  they  early 
became  wealthy  and  very  successful  farmers,  and  gained  a  wide 
reputation  as  pioneers  in  western  horticulture.  There  they 
built  mills,  erected  a  trading  post,  and  founded  the  village  of 
Mettawa — called  (by  its  English  translation)  Half  Day.    There

several  of  them  married  and  settled,  and  have  large  families. 
Three  brothers  in  this  family  graduated  at  medical  universities, 
two  of  them  were  practicing  physicians  for  several  years,  and 
two  of  them  have  been  promint;nt  as  dental  surgeons  in  Chi- 
cago. Drs.  John  and  William  Kennicott  recently  deceased, 
stood  deservedly  high  as  professional  men,  and  they  and  others 
of  their  relatives  are  favorably  known  in  scientific  circles.

1776.  iv       DAVID  EDWARD,  b.  Sept.  3,  1826, unni. res.  Chicago,  111.  David 

Edward  Fiske,  second  son  of 
Allen   and    Eliza    Fiske,    was 
born  in  Troy,  N.  Y.     At  an 
early    age    he    -went    to    live 
with  his  uncle,   David  Fiske, 
in  Amherst,  N.  H.,  on  whose 
rugged  farm  and  precipitous 
hillsides   he   readily   acquired 
that   robust   health  and   con- 
stitution   which    served    him 
so  well  in  after  years.     There 
also  he  acquired,   in  the  ex- 
cellent schools  of  that  town 
and  vicinity,  a  good  English 
education,      and      so      much 
knowledge      of      Latin      and 
Greek  as  is  required  to  enter 
college.       After    teaching    a 
couple   of   winters,   he   aban- 
doned farm  life  and,   return- 
ing to  Troy,   N.  Y.,  became 
connected    with    the    Family 
Journal  in  the  spring  of  1849.     His  excellent  business  talents 
soon  placed  the  enterprise  on  a  solid  basis,   and  brought  the 
Journal  in  the  front  rank  of  weekly  newspapers.  Subsequently 
he  undertook  the  publication  of  the  Troy  Traveler.     But  not 
finding  the  publication  of  newspapers  sufficiently  remunerative 
to  suit  his  views,   he  dissolved  his  connection   with  these  en- 
terprises, and.  in  1856,  removed  to  Chicago,  where  he  engaged 
several  years  in  the  dairy  business,  at  first  on  a  small,  but  after- 
wards on  quite  a  large  scale,  and  in  which,  by  energy,  prudence 
and  perseverance,  he  accumulated  in  a  few  years  a  handsome 
competence.      In    1864   he   parted   with   his   dairy   interests   and 
for  about  thirty  years  has  been  engaged  in  the  real  estate  and 
loaning    business,    in    which    with    ample    means    and    careful 
management,  he  has  attained  the  goal  of  his  early  ambition — • 
a  recognized  position  among  mean  of  wealth  and  influence. 

Mr.  Fiske,  while  not  a  man  of  letters,  is  nevertheless  well 
versed  in  current  literature,  has  decided  and  intelligent  con- 
victions on  most  subjects,  and  is  not  lacking  in  ability  to  ex- 
press his  views,  by  voice  or  pen,  with  clearness  and  force,  and 
when  occasion  calls  can  maintain  his  ground  with  the  best  of 
disputants. 

As  the  favorite  legatee  of  his  uncle,  for  whom  he  was  named, 
and  with  whom  he  passed  the  greater  part  of  his  youth,  Mr. 
Fiske  has  taken  great  and  commendable  delight  in  restoring  to 
a  highly  productive  and  attractive  condition  the  old  farm  and 
homestead,  which  has  been  now  in  possession  of  the  family  for 
over  one  hundred  and  fifty  years. 

William  Fiske,  Sr.,  youngest  son  of  Deacon  Ebenezer  Fiske 
of  Wenham,  with  Susanna  Batchelder,  his  wife,  and  their  nine 
children,  emigrated  from  Wenham  at  an  early  day,  and  es- 
tablished themselves  on  the  eastern  slopes  of  Walnut  Hill,  in

the  town  of  Amherst,  N.  H.,  when  that  portion  of  the  country 
was  still  a  wilderness.  There  was  founded  the  Amherst  branch 
of  the  Wenham  Fiskes,  whose  descendants,  wherever  located, 


OLD   FISKE    HOME,   AMHERST,   N.   H. 


have  fully  sustained  the  high  character  of  their  ancestry,  have 
been  noted  for  their  ability,  probity  and  piety,  and  have  filled 
many  official  positions  of  honor  and  public  trust.  The  hardships 
of  frontier  life  in  a  country  heavily  timbered  and  rocky,  short- 
ened the  days  of  that  sturdy  pioneer,  William  Fisk,  Sr.,  and  he 
died  in  1777  in  his  fifty-second  year,  leaving  a  large  family. 
Stanch  and  stalwart,  the  elder  sons  soon  cleared  up  a  large  tract 
of  land,  and  established  homes  for  themselves  and  families.  A 
few  years  later  Jonathan  removed  to  Williamstown,  Vt.,  where 
he  achieved  a  most  honorable  record;  Ebenezer  settled  in  Mt. 
Vernon,  where  he  became  prominently  identified  with  town 
afifairs;  while  William  (Jr.)  located  himself  on  the  old  mail 
route  from  Amherst  to  Manchester,  on  a  plateau  lying  be- 
tween Walnut  and  Chestnut  Hills.  Living  for  awhile  in  a  plain 
log  house,  at  the  close  of  the  Revolutionary  War,  he  built  on 
this  spot  a  fine  mansion,  which  has  ever  since  been  in  posses- 
sion of  the  family.  Here  was  raised  a  large  family  of  sons  and 
daughters,  whose  subsequent  career  reflected  great  credit  on 
their  early  training.  And  here  Hon.  William  Fiske  resided 
until  his  death  (June,  1831),  very  greatly  respected  by  his 
townsmen,  being  called  for  twenty-five  years  to  represent  them 
in  public  life,  both  in  town  affairs  and  state  government,  legis- 
lative and  judicial.  The  old  homestead,  which  was  willed  first 
to  his  son  David,  and  subsequently  to  a  grandson  vi  that  name, 
is  still  in  a  most  excellent  state  of  preservation,  and  remains 
a  fine  specimen  of  the  commodious  and  hospitable  New 
England  homes  of  the  early  days.  Mr.  David  E.  Fiske,  of 
Chicago,  who  is  the  present  owner,  takes  great  pleasure  in  re- 
visiting his  boyhood's  home,  where  he  usually  spends  his  sum- 
mers, superintending  improvements,  and  exercising  the  tastes 
of  a  gentleman  farmer.  It  is  his  firm  purpose  to  keep  the  old 
homestead  in  the  family  as  long  as  he  can,  as  the  best  monu- 
ment to  the  sterling  worth  of  those  who  founded  the  Amherst 
branch  of  the  Wenham  Fiskes.

Republican,  at  which  time  he  received  authority  to  raise  a  com- 
pany of  the  Twelfth  Mich.  Infantry.  He  succeeded  in  filling 
his  company  and  went  out  with  the  regiment,  which  saw  its 
first  service  at  the  battle  of  Shiloh.  He  was  one  of  a  recon- 
noitering  party  sent  out  by  General  Ben.  Prentiss,  and  nar- 
rowly escaped  both  death  and  capture.  Soon  after  the  battle 
he  was  attacked  with  typhoid  fever  and  chronic  diarrhoea,  and

time  during  two  years  was  dangerously  ill,  and  was  honorably 
discharged  from  service.  In  1870  he  was  elected  senator,

ance. He  was  also  an  elder  in  the  Presbyterian  Church,  where

John  S.  Pillsbury,  Governor  of  Minnesota  for  two  terms  end- 
ing Jan.,  1878,  was  born  in  Sutton,  N.  H.,  July,  1827.  At  the 
age  of  16  he  entered  the  store  of  his  brother  at  Warner,  N.  H., 
as  a  clerk,  and  subsequently  went  into  business  with  the  ex- 
Governor,  Walter  Harriman.  At  a  later  period  he  was  in  busi- 
ness in  Concord,  N.  H.,  but  came  west  in  1854,  and  finally  set- 
tled at  St.  Anthony  Falls,  Minn.,  where  he  engaged  in  the 
hardware  business.  He  has  been  active  and  energetic  and  suc- 
cessful, and  has  taken  a  lively  interest  in  public  affairs  in  that 
State.  He  served  in  the  Senate  two  terms,  and  was  most  of  the 
time  chairman  of  the  committee  on  finance.     He  has  held  the

position  of  president  of  the  Board  of  Regents  of  the  State  Uni- 
versity for  several  years.  He  was  chosen  Governor  in  1875, 
and  entered  upon  the  duties  of  the  office  the  following  January.

951.  DEA.  DAVID  FISKE  (Samuel,  Samuel,  Daniel,  Samuel,  William,  John, 
William,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Symond),  b.  Shelburne,  Mass.,  July  17, 
1791;  m.  Oct.  31,  1814,  Laura  Severance,  b.  1795;  d.  July  6,  1870.  David  Fiske  was 
born  on  the  top  of  one  of  the  beautiful  hills  of  Shelburne,  Franklin  Co.,  Mass.  He 
had  a  good  common  school  education,  and  married  Laura  Severance,  who  was 
born  in  the  same  town.  Previous  to  his  marriage  he  had  formed  a  partnership 
with  two  other  young  men  for  building  and  running  a  saw  mill,  a  grist  mill 
and  a  cloth  factory  at  the  falls  of  the  Deerfield  river,  then  called  Salmon  Falls, 
from  the  abundance  of  that  fish  caught  there.  These  falls  made  a  fine  water 
power  and  the  banks  on  either  side  were  owned  by  Captain  Martin  Severance, 
Laura's  father.  For  nearly  twenty  years  he  was  the  head  of  these  establish- 
ments, and  then  chief  owner.  He  built  a  pretty  little  house  on  the  river  side  for 
his  bride.  In  it  were  born  his  eight  children,  and  there  three  of  them  died. 
There  also  their  golden  wedding  was  celebrated  and  there  his  beloved  wife  died, 
after  56  years  of  married  life.  In  1832  he  sold  out  his  manufacturing  interests, 
having  caught  the  western  fever,  and  removed  with  his  family  to  Ohio,  making 
the  long  journey  from  Albany  over  the  Erie  canal  by  packet  boat,  then  con- 
sidered a  rapid  and  luxurious  mode  of  travel,  and  by  lake  to  Cleveland,  which  was 
then  but  a  pretty  group  of  fourteen  houses  under  the  bluflf  by  the  river.  There 
he  first  bought  180  acres  on  the  blufif  on  which  now  stands  the  whole  business 
part  of  Cleveland.  But,  he  wanted  a  farm,  and  found  better  soil  out  at  Strongs- 
ville,  18  miles  southwest,  and  exchanged  his  purchase  of  the  Cleveland  site  for 
twice  as  many  acres,  where  into  whose  black  soil  he  could  thrust  a  "sabre's  tail 
clear  up  to  the  head;"  where  into  the  hollow  trunk  of  a  fallen  sycamore  a  man 
could  walk  upright  with  a  tall  hat  on  and  where  the  black  walnut  trees  made 
grand  rails  for  fences.  Six  rails  and  posts,  and  rider  high  to  keep  the  deer  from 
the  crops.  He  sold  his  farm  on  which  he  had  built  a  fine  house,  the  first  between 
Cleveland  and  southern  Ohio.  The  raising  of  that  house  was  an  <jvent.  He  and 
his  wife  had  seen  too  much  of  the  baleful  eiifects  of  rum  in  New  England,  it 
was  wholly  banished  from  their  house  and  they  determined  to  raise  the  heavy 
black  walnut  frame  without  its  aid.  They  notified  everybody  for  twenty  miles 
around  of  this  "raising"  "without  rum."  Everybody  said  that  nobody  would  come 
and  the  frame  would  have  to  go  up  on  such  terms.  But  everybody  came 
to  see  and  jest  at  the  failure  of  these  temperance  cranks.  When  they  came, 
however,  they  found  a  magnificent  spread  of  mother's  best  cookery  and  long 
tables  under  fine  trees  and  a  half  a  dozen  pretty  girls  to  serve  them  and  so  knew 
that  no  stinginess  was  at  the  bottom  of  it  and  the  boss  and  carpenters  gave  them 
a  good  report  of  the  way  they  were  treated  by  the  new-comers,  and  all  turned 
in  to  the  work  right  merrily  and  the  raising  went  off  fine  and  after  the  jolly 
feast  that  crowned  it  the  ringleader  of  the  crowd  which  came  to  show  them 
that  they  could  not  raise  a  house  without  rum,  mounted  a  table  and  made  a 
speech,  saying  that  it  was  the  best  raisin'  he  had  ever  heard  of,  and  that  Mrs.  Fiske 
was  the  handsomest  woman  and  the  best  hostess  in  Ohio.  At  that  the  whole 
crowd  thanked  her  and  her  husband  for  having  raised  their  house  without  rum, 
so  that  they  were  all  going  home  sober  and  yet  jolly,  and  then  the  crowd  gave 
a  rousing  cheer  and  swung  their  hats,  and  the  impossible  was  achieved.  Some 
kinsmen  who  had  settled  over  in  Michigan  in  Sarnia  now,  Jackson  then,  had  writ- 
ten that  there  they  had  no  fever  and  that  there  was  a  fine  farm  there  for  him, 
so  they  packed  up  their  goods  into  covered  wagons  drawn  by  horses  and  cattle, 
and  went  across  the  black  swamp,  a  trip  of  six  weeks.  Took  the  new  farm  and 
found  their  old  enemy  had  followed  them  from  Ohio  so  they  were  after  a  couple  of 
years  shaken  out  of  Michigan  and  out  of  the  western  fever  as  well,  and  returned  to 
Shelburne,  where  he  bought  a  part  of  the  large  farm  on  which  he  was  born.  He 
ultimately  exchanged  it  for  a  part  of  the  farm  on  which  his  wife  was  born  at  the 
Falls,  and  finally,  it  still  standing,  he  bought  the  identical  house  he  had  built 
for  his  bride,  moved  into  it  and  there  in  1867  his  beloved  wife  died  in  the  very 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  225 


room  where  eight  of  her  children  had  been  born.  After  her  death  he  lived  for 
eight  years  (part  of  the  time  only,  the  summers)  with  his  eldest  son,  Orlando,  in 
Shelburne,  or  with  his  brother  Samuel,  yet  spending  about  two  thirds  of  his  time 
with  his  son  Asa  in  Rochester  and  with  Mrs.  Hart  in  Philadelphia  or  New  Haven. 
He  fell  asleep  at  85  in  his  brother's  house  in  Shelburne,  in  the  fall  of  1875,  after  an 
hour  or  two  of  suffering,  with  his  eldest  son  at  his  bedside.  He  was  of  a  most 
gentle,  genial,  kindly  nature,  a  lover  of  music,  of  fun,  of  man  and  of  God,  was 
for  many  years  a  deacon  in  the  Congregational  Church  and  respected  and  hon- 
ored by  all  who  knew  him.  In  his  old  age  he  straightened  up  after  his  life  of 
hard  work,  grew  stouter,  let  his  luxuriant  silver  beard  grow  full,  and  was  a 
marvelously  fine  picture  of  hearty,  alert  and  serene  age.  His  two  eldest  daughters 
married  clergymen,  and  the  eldest  son,  for  his  first  wife,  a  sister  of  Fidelia  Fiske. 
Two  others  of  the  family  attained  merited  distinction  as  clergymen  and  authors.

Lydia  Robinson,  d.  July  11,  1805;  she  was  dau.  of  John  and  Susanna  of  Milford; 
m.  2d,  Mrs.  Margaret  (Shepherd)  Brown,  dau.  of  Capt.  Benjamin  and  Hepzibah 
(Blake)  Shepherd,  of  Wrentham;  she  was  b.  1779;  d.  Apr.  30,  1850.  Rev.  Elisha 
Fisk  was  the  son  of  Robert  and  Mary  (Hall)  Fisk,  and  was  born  in  that  part  of 
Holliston  now  included  in  West  Medway.  At  a  year  and  a  half  of  age  his  parents 
removed  to  Upton,  where  he  spent  his  youth,  and  where  he  became  converted 
under  the  ministry  of  Rev.  Elisha  Fish,  whose  name  dififered  from  his  own  but  by 
a  single  letter.  At  five  years  of  age  he  had  read  the  Bible  through.  He  set  him- 
self to  gain  a  liberal  education  with  reference  to  the  ministry  and  by  dint  of  perse- 
verance, entered  Brown  Universitv,  and  graduated  in  1795,  an  A.  M.  He  was 
tutor  the  three  yoars  following.  While  here  he  was  approbated  to  preach  the  Gos- 
pel. He  preached  the  first  time  in  Wrentham  on  the  first  Sabbath  in  May,  1798. 
It  was  the  first  sermon  he  wrote  and  the  text  was  Gen.  i;  i.  It  proved  to  be  the 
first  of  a  long  series  of  discourses  to  that  people.  Nov.  6  he  received  a  call  to 
settle  among  them.  The  prospect  was  dark,  indeed,  but  circumstances  appeared 
to  make  duty  very  plain.  He  was  the  forty-ninth  candidate  and  but  the  second 
who  had  received  a  call.  Imagining  the  interminable  catalogue  which  might  follow 
if  he  declined,  he  determined  to  break  the  non-apostolic  succession,  and  accepted 
the  invitation  Apr.  25.  He  was  ordained  over  the  first  church  in  Wrentham  June 
12,  1799.  Rev.  Dr.  Hitchcock  of  Providence  preached  the  sermon.  After  occupy- 
ing the  field  alone  nearly  45  years,  he  proposed  that  a  colleague  should  be  settled, 
and  Rev.  Horace  James  was  inducted  into  this  office  Nov.  i,  1843.  Mr.  Fisk  still 
continued  to  preach  almost  every  Sabbath  at  home,  in  surrounding  vacant  places, 
or  in  the  pulpits  of  his  brethren.  The  last  Sabbath  he  spent  on  earth  was  employed 
in  preaching  the  Gospel  and  breaking  the  sacramental  bread  in  the  church  of 
Attleboro.  It  was  an  intensely  cold  day  in  December  and  the  fatigue  and  exposure 
of  riding  in  an  open  sleigh  some  ten  miles  was  more  than  a  human  frame  of  over 
four  score  years'  standing  could  endure.  A  cold  and  fever  was  the  result,  running 
into  a  lethargic  state,  in  which  the  ever  busy  spirit,  having  put  its  weary  partner  of 
dust  to  sleep,  softly  withdrew.  He  died  in  the  82d  year  of  his  age,  and  52d  year  of  his 
ministry,  and  was  buried  on  the  day  of  the  regular  meeting  of  the  association  at 
his  house.  It  was  appointed  to  be  there  at  his  request,  and  he  had  anticipated  its 
coming  with  great  satisfaction,  not  imagining  that  they  should  be  convened  for 
his  funeral.  At  the  time  of  Mr.  Fisk's  ordination,  the  church  was  reduced  to  ten 
members;  and  "they  were  divided  in  their  religious  opinions,  and  in  many  in- 
stances strongly  excited  against  each  other,  on  account  of  the  different  positions, 
which  they  had  taken  in  the  controversy  with  his  predecessor,  Rev.  McAvery.  Of 
an  observing  mind,  careful  and  conciliating  in  his  conversation  and  manners, 
interesting  and  popular  in  his  pulpit  performances,  he  succeeded,  as  few  other 
men  would,  in  uniting  and  holding  together  very  discordant  materials,  not  only 
at  the  commencement  of  his  ministry,  but  through  the  vicissitudes  of  more  than 
fifty  years.  He  gained  and  kept  the  enviable  reputation  of  peacemaker."  (Funer- 
al Sermon  by  Rev.  Dr.  Stoors,  Braintree.)  As  a  fact  illustrative  of  Mr.  Fisk's  rep- 
utation the  celebrated  Hannah  Adams  once  said  that  another  question  should  be 
added  to  the  well  known  interrogatories  in  New  England,  "Who  is  the  first  man," 
etc.,  viz.:  "Who  is  the  most  prudent  man?  Parson  Fisk,  of  Wrentham."  He 
was  blessed  with  additions  to  his  church.  In  1805,  51  were  added  to  the  church. 
In  1815-16,  64  made  profession  of  religion.  In  1821,  43  were  gathered  in._  Again, 
58  joined  in  1832.  The  whole  number  of  admissions  during  his  sole  ministry  was 
♦32. 

Mr.  Fisk  possessed  an  iron  constitution  and  great  perseverance  and  was  able 
to  labor,  even  in  his  advanced  age,  beyond  the  ability  of  many  young  men.     He  fre-

quently  took  long  walks  of  five  and  even  ten  miles  on  his  exchanges.  He  traveled 
much  on  foot  over  his  extensive  parish.  He  was  seldom  unable  to  preach — but  two 
Sabbaths  in  forty  years.  He  was  seldom  absent,  or  even  tardy,  at  associate  meet- 
ings. He  attended  over  150  ecclesiastical  councils;  and  did  a  large  part  of  the  edit- 
ing of  the  "Christian  Magazine,"  during  its  four  years'  continuance,  and  was  in  all 
ministerial  labors  abundant. 

Rev.  Nathaniel  Emmons,  D.  D.,  pastor  of  the  church  in  Franklin,  preached 
the  sermon  at  the  funeral  of  his  first  wife,  Lydia,  July  13,  1805.  The  sermon  was 
printed  by  H.  Mann  of  Dedham,  in  Aug.,  1805.  The  compiler  of  this  work  has  a 
copy  of  the  sermon.

University  in  the  class  of  1819,  sharing  the  highest  honors  of 
graduation  wath  Horace  Mann.  His  studies  for  the  ministry 
were  conducted  under  the  direction  of  Rev.  Elisha  Fisk;  was 
installed  pastor  of  the  Evangelical  Congregational  Society  in 
Harvard,  Mass.,  Sept.  12,  1821.  He  preached  the  sermon  on 
the  one  hundredth  anniversary  of  the  incorporation  of  that 
town.  This  sermon  is  deposited  with  the  Congregational  Li- 
brary Association  in  Boston.  He  was  a  most  efificient  pastor, 
and  for  thirty  years  was  a  member  of  the  school  board.  He

First  Congregational  Church  for  forty  years.  He  had  but  little  schooling,  and  that

ducted a  farm  for  a  widow  lady  "on  halves."  He  did  not  have  a  pair  of  boots  until 
18  years  of  ^ge;  drove  turkeys  to  market,  and  put  up  over  night  when  the  tur- 
keys went  to  roost  by  the  wayside.  Eventually  he  went  into  the  village  store; 
was  a  merchant  some  thirty  years,  and  gave  it  up  to  his  son,  David  B.  Was  Cap-

Interested  in  anything  that  was  of  benefit  to  the  town  or  citizens.  He  retired  from 
all  business  in  1836,  and  died  in  1840  in  the  70th  year  of  his  age.  He  was  born  in

honored  and  respected  citizen.  At  the  time  of  his  death  Rev.  Benjamin  Wood, 
pastor  of  the  Upton  Church,  officiated  at  his  funeral.     The  sermon  was  printed  in

heritage — been  favored  with  general  good  health,  taken  great 
pleasure  in  the  various  kinds  of  pastoral  labor,  and  especially 
enjoyed  preaching  Christ.  To  Him  I  owe  an  immense  debt 
of  gratitude  for  calling  me  by  His  grace  and  spirit  and  per- 
mitting me  to  labor  so  long  in  the  delightful  work  of  the 
Christian  ministry.     As  an  humble  instrument  in   His   service 

,  I  will  not  pretend  to  say  what  I  may  have  accomplished  by  my 

labors;  but  if  any  good  to  the  welfare  of  His  kingdom,  to  Him

at  Plymouth,  2^Iass.  Her  mother's  name  was  Willbur.  She  was  a  lineal  descendant 
of  Rev.  Samuel  JNIann,  the  tirst  minister  of  the  town  of  Wrentham,  mentioned  in 
Barber's  Historical  Collections  of  Mass.  (Judge  Fisk  was  born  in  Swansea,  Mass., 
and  was  descended  in  both  lines  troni  mar  nobie  class  ot  men  who  sought  on 
"the  wild  New  England  shore"  "freedom  to  worship  God."  There  has  been  a 
tradition  in  the  family  that  Benjamin  Fisk,  a  brother  of  the  great-grandfather  of  the 
subject  of  this  sketch,  was  governor  of  the  colony  of  Connecticut,  but  this  has  not 
been  substantiated.  A  strong  family  likeness  has  always  existed  among  the  Rhode 
Island  Fisks.  In  early  life  he  resided  m  Rhode  Island,  but  subsequently  moved 
to  Guilford,  Vermont,  a  town  which  adjoined  Brattleboro,  where  his  father  had 
some  time  before  purchased  land.  By  an  unfortunate  business  venture  he  lost 
his  patrimony,  but  by  industry  and  frugality  he  accumulated  sufficient  for  the 
purchase  of  new  land  in  the  interior  of  the  State.  He  accordingly  settled  in  Lyn- 
don, Caledonia  county,  within  40  miles  of  the  Canada  line.  In  tnat  county  he  ever 
after  resided,  respected  and  beloved  by  all  who  knew  him.  He  received  re- 
peated proofs  of  the  conhdence  of  his  leliow  citizens,  lining  various  important 
civil  offices.  Isaiah  Fisk  was  one  of  the  assistant  judges  of  Caledonia  county 
court,  1807,  1809,  1810,  181 1,  1812.  Chief  judge  of  Caleaonia  county  court,  i8it), 
1817,  1818,  1819,  1820,  1821,  1822;  then  the  ottice  was  more  important  than  it  is 
now,  under  the  revised  constitution.  He  was  a  presidential  elector  from  Ver- 
mont in  181 7  and  a  delegate  in  the  convention  that  nominated  James  Monroe 
for  President.  Isaiah  Fisk  was  a  member  of  the  general  assembly  of  Vermont  for 
the  following  years  from  Lyndon,  Vermont,  Caledonia  county:  1803,  1804,  1813, 
1814,  1815,  1816,  1817,  1818,  1821,  1823.  Besides  these  he  filled  various  local 
offices  involving  more  care  and  responsibility  than  emolument.  Twice  he  was 
elected  to  the  council  of  censors,  which  was  then  composed  of  thirteen  mem- 
bers, chosen  once  in  seven  years,  by  a  general  vote.  Its  province  was  to  revise 
all  the  official  acts  of  the  Legislature,  executive  and  judiciary  departments,  dur- 
ing the  past  seven  years,  with  power  to  send  for  persons,  papers  and  records. 
It  could  pass  censure,  order  impeachments  and  recommend  the  Legislature  to  re- 
peal unconstittitional  laws.  Such  a  tribunal  was  a  very  important  one.  Judge  Fisk 
remained  comparatively  poor  where  many  wouici  have  amassea  a  tortune.  It  was 
his  maxim  that  no  man  ought  to  enrich  himself  on  the  spoils  of  the  public, 
a  maxim  which  through  life  he  carried  to  a  romantic  extreme.  With  his  wife  he 
early  became  a  member  of  the  church  and  took  an  active  interest  in  it.  Mrs.  Fisk 
was  very  assiduous  in  impressing  tipon  the  minds  of  her  children  the  principles 
of  Christianity.  He  d.  June  7,  1859;  res.  Brattleboro,  Lyndon  and  Charlestown,  Vt.

Fisk  was  born  in  Killingly.  Conn.,  where  he  learned  the  trade  of  a  blacksmith. 
Having  mastered  his  trade,  he  was  soon  afterward  united  in  marriage  to  Lydia 
Aldrich.  She  came  of  Welsh  descent,  and  in  her  veins  flowed  somewhat  a  sturdy 
feeling  and  marked  courage  and  the  unfailing  will  that  her  ancestors  knew.  In 
the  fall  of  1822,  with  his  wife  and  two  babies,  he  left  Killingly  for  Livingston  Co., 
New  York.  There  he  was  a  blacksmith,  wagon  l>uilder  and  general  mechanic  for 
the  country  round  about.  IMuscular  and  willing,  equipped  with  fine  physique,  he  did 
not  shrink  from  hard  toil.     His  shops  1:)ecame  a  source  of  mechanical  supplies  for

farmers  all  up  and  down  the  valley.  As  a  citizen  he  acquired  local  repute  as  a 
man  of  intelligence,  enterprise  and  character.  He  was  the  captain  of  the  militia, 
and  was  deferred  to  as  a  leading  spirit  in  town  affairs.  He  finally  moved  to  Clinton, 
]Mich.,  where  he  died  after  a  short  illness.  He  d.  Sept.  28.  1832;  res.  Killingly,

Oakland,  Cal.  His  life  has  not  been  a  very  eventful  one.  Born 
in  1820  in  Connecticut,  in  1821  or  1822,  his  parents  moved  to  the 
State  of  New  York,  Livingston  Co.,  town  of  York;  in  1830 
they  moved  to  Michigan  (Clinton,  Lenawee  Co),  where  in 
winter  times  he  went  to  school  three  months,  in  summer 
worked  out,  sometimes  driving  from  six  to  ten  yoke  of  cat- 
tle before  what  was  called  a  breaking-up  plow.  His  father 
died  in  1832,  leaving  his  mother  with  six  boys,  the  eldest  only 
14  years  old.  He  went  to  a  trade  when  he  was  15  years  old 
(fanning  mill  making).  He  worked  at  that  until  he  was  about 
22,  at  which  time  he  was  elected  constable  and  served  one 
year.  In  1843  he  went  into  a  store,  where  he  worked  until 
1847,  at  which  time  he  enlisted  in  the  ist  regiment  of  Michi- 
gan Volunteers,  and  w^ent  to  Mexico,  where  he  remained  until 
the  close  of  the  war.  He  returned  to  Detroit,  got  an  hon- 
orab.c  discharge,  made  his  way  back  to  Clinton  and  went  into 
business.  Gold  was  discovered  in  California  and  he  got  the 
fever  and  in  1853  he  crossed  the  plains  to  California,  where 
he  has  wandered  up  and  down  for  nearly  forty-three  years. 
He  ha^  been  in  the  mines  where  he  did  mining  and  kept  a 
trading  post.  He  has  been  well  off  and  has  been  poor.  He 
has  had  the  sciatica  and  a  stroke  of  paralysis,  also  had  a  stroke 
of  footpads  two  years  ago,  which  came  very  near  killing  him. 
He  is  drawing  a  pension  for  service  in  the  Mexican  war.

1791;  m.  at  Swansey,  July  10,  1835,  Anna  Robinson,  dau.  of  Gideon,  now  deceased, 
and  Patience,  now  wife  of  Oliver  Chase,  of  Fall  River;  at  the  time  of  his  marriage 
he  was  of  Scituate,  R.  I.,  and  was  married  in  Swansey  according  to  the  Friends' 
record.  She  was  b.  July  5,  1808,  and  d.  Dec.  27,  1889.  He  was  b.  in  Johnston,  R, 
I.,  and  died  in  Fall  River  in  his  82d  year.  He  received  a  liberal  education  for 
those  days  and  early  studied  medicine,  but  did  not  practice  until  late  in  life.  He 
was  a  fine  penman  and  very  fond  of  travel  and  taught  penmanship  in  many  places 
in  the  United  States,  largely  to  see  the  country.  At  the  time  of  his  marriage  in 
1835  he  purchased  a  farm  in  Scituate,  R.  i.,  where  he  kept  a  private  school,  with  a 
few  day  scholars,  but  mostly  boarders.  This  school  was  patronized  mostly  by 
Friends  and  Quakers,  who  sent  their  sons  there  to  be  fitted  for  college  or  for  a  bet- 
ter education  than  could  be  obtained  in  the  public  schools  in  those  days.  In 
1845  he  decided  to  discontinue  his  school  and  practice  medicine  in  Fall  River. 
He  was  a  practicing  physician  in  that  city  for  25  years,  highly  esteemed  by  every 
one  and  very  successful  in  his  profession.  He  and  his  wife  continued  members 
of  the  Society  of  Friends  till  death  and  were  noted  for  a  large  exercise  of  the 
old-fashioned  style  of  genuine  hospitality.  No  relative  or  friend  of  the  family  was 
ever  allowed  to  go  to  a  hotel  when  visiting  Fall  River,  and  Dr.  Fiske's  house  was 
a  rendezvous  for  the  Abolitionist  or  escaping  slave,  and  the  Boston  "Liberator," 
Garrison's  paper,  came  to  him  as  long  as  it  was  published.  He  left  a  homestead 
and  quite  a  little  property.    He  d.  June  2,  1873;  res.  Fall  River,  Mass.

He  was  born  in  Worcester,  Mass.,  and  d.  in  Brookfield,  N.  Y.  His  death 
was  caused  by  a  tree  falling  upon  him  on  his  premises,  situate  on  lot  17,  in  the 
19th  township,  town  of  Brookfield,  N.  Y.  He  was  the  eldest  son  in  his  father's

the  Revolutionary  war  with  England,  at  Crown  Point,  on  Lake  Champlain.  The

John  was  a  commissary  in  the  U.  S.  army.  Just  before  the  close  of  the  war  his 
dwelling  house  and  outbuildings  were  burned  by  the  enemy.  After  the  war 
closed  he  sold  or  traded  his  place  and  moved  back  east.  Some  traditional  accounts 
of  him  say  he  did  not  go  back  to  Massachusetts,  but  settled  in  Connecticut  and 
lived  there  until  1797,  when  he,  with  his  family,  removed  back  into  the  State

in  Ashtabula,  Ohio,  but  early  moved  to  Rochester,  N.  Y., 
where  he  attended  the  public  schools  and  was  graduated  at 
Wilson's  private  school.  In  1871  he  went  to  Columbus,  Ohio, 
where  he  remained  until  1883,  when  he  came  to  Chicago.  He 
studied  law  at  the  Union  College  of  Law  and  was  graduated 
with  honors  in  June,  1886,  and  was  at  once  admitted  to  the 
bar  and  began  practice.  He  is  an  able  and  successful  advocate 
and  counselor.  He  is  mayor  of  Lake  Forest,  where  he  resides. 
The  Chicago  Evening  Post  in  commenting  on  his  recent  renom-

Since  Mayor  Gorton  took  charge  of  the  afifairs  of  Lake 
Forest's  city  government  a  number  of  improvements  have 
been  made  in  all  parts  of  the  town,  and  his  admin- 
istration has  been  so  popular  with  all  the  residents  that  he  was 
the  first  and  unanimous  choice  for  renomination  at  the  late 
caucus.  He  has  been  unwilling  to  take  the  position,  which  is 
purely  an  honorary  one,  there  being  no  salary  provided  for  the 
mayor.  Recently  he  handed  his  resignation  to  the  city  council, 
but  it  was  torn  up  by  his  associates  before  it  reached  City  Clerk

1 154.  REV.  NATHAN  FISKE,  D.  D.  (Nathan,  Nathan,  Nathan,  Nathaniel, 
William,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Symond),  b.  Weston,  Sept.  9,  1733;  m. 
Oct.  19,  1758,  Sarah  Hill  of  Camb.;  d.  1774;  m.  2d,  Mrs.  Elizabeth  (Breck)  Treat;  d. 
1786;  m.  3d,  Mrs.  Hannah  (Wells)  Reynolds.  The  place  of  his  nativity  was  Wes- 
ton, Mass.;  born  Sept.  9,  1733.  In  early  life  he  was  fond  of  reading;  graduated  at 
Harvard  College,  Cambridge,  1754;  ordained  to  the  work  of  the  gospel  ministry 
in  Brookfield,  May  28,  1758.  The  title  of  D.  D.  was  conferred  on  him  from  Har- 
vard College  in  1792.  He  preached  his  last  sermon  from  the  text,  Prov.  4:  18,  "But 
the  path  of  the  just  is  as  a  shining  light,"  etc.  In  the  evening  of  the  same  day, 
Nov.  24,  1799,  he  spent  in  company  with  friends  in  apparent  health,  retired  to 
rest  and  sleep,  which  proved  the  sleep  of  death,  at  the  age  of  66.  He  pub- 
lished a  discourse  on  the  settlement  and  growth  of  Brookfield,  1775;  a  feast  sermon, 
1776;  a  sermon  on  the  death  of  Mr.  Joshua  Spooner,  1778;  an  oration  on  the  cap- 
ture of  Lord  Cornwallis,  1781 ;  a  funeral  sermon  of  Mr.  josiah  Hobbs,  who  was 
killed  by  lightning,  1784;  a  volume  of  sermons  on  various  subjects,  1794;  Dudleian 
Lecture  at  Harvard  College,  1796;  two  volumes  of  essays,  entitled  the  "Moral  Mon- 
itor." 1801,  after  his  decease.  He  was  married  first,  to  Sally  Hill,  who  died  1774; 
next  to  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Treat  (originally  Breck),  who  died  1786;  after  this  to  Mrs. 
Hannah  Reynolds  (originally  Wells),  who  survived  him.  He  had  six  children, 
five  sons  and  one  daughter.  The  eldest  son  died  while  a  member  of  Harvard 
College.  Of  the  two  other  sons  who  graduated  there,  Oliver  became  a  physician, 
and  Samuel  first  studied  law  and  afterwards  engaged  in  mercantile  persuits.  As 
a  preacher,  it  is  said,  he  was  not  distinguished  so  much  for  the  powers  of  oratory, 
as  for  purity  of  sentiment  and  perspicuity  and  elegance  of  style.  He  was  modest 
and  unassuming;  and  few  men  with  his  advantages  have  acquired  a  greater  store 
of  rich  and  varied  knowledge.  He  was  highly  esteemed  by  the  people  of  his 
charge  and  by  his  clerical  brethren;  as  a  learned  divine,  a  reputable  author,  accept- 
able preacher  and  devoted  to  the  various  duties  of  his  profession.  He  d.  Nov.  24,

master. After  the  war  he  studied  law;  was  admitted  to  the 
bar  at  Worcester  Mass.;  practiced  in  Oxford,  Mass.,  and  died

Newton,  Apr.  21,  1821,  aged  85.  Lieut.  Joseph  Craft,  like  his  brothers,  was  a 
smart,  active,  business  man,  and  was  held  in  high  esteem  by  his  townsmen.  He 
was  an  ardent  patriot,  and  was  in  active  service  during  a  long  period  of  the  war 
of  the  Revolution.  He  was  present  at  the  battle  of  Lexington,  and  was  Lieutenant 
in  command  of  the  company  of  Newton  minute  men  at  that  time.  They  re- 
mained on  duty  for  four  clays  tollowing  that  battle.  Again,  in  1776,  we  learn  from 
the  records  that  by  order  of  the  council,  he  marched  as  Lieutenant  in  command  of 
his  company,  Dec.  9,  1776,  to  join  Col.  Thomas  Craft's  regiment  at  Boston,  and 
among  the  privates  in  his  company  was  Samuel  Craft.  Again,  in  1778,  he  was 
Lieutenant  of  the  company  of  Capt.  Edward  Fuller,  Col.  Thrasher's  regiment,-  de- 
tailed to  guard  the  British  troops,  Sept.  2,  1778.  Finally,  in  1780,  he  once  more 
went  into  the  field,  and  marched  with  his  company  to  reinforce  the  Continental 
army.  He  took  an  active  part  in  town  affairs.  On  Dec.  18,  1776,  he  was  chosen  on 
a  committee  to  adjust  matters  relative  to  "an  allowance  for  soldiers  for  services 
done  in  the  war  since  Apr.  19,  1775,  and  also  to  consider  in  what  manner  the  war 
shall  be  supported  by  the  inhabitants  in  the  future."  He  gave  substantial  aid  in 
the  cause  of  liberty  by  loaning  £200  to  the  town,  Jan.  6.  1777',  for  the  purpose  of 
paying  the  soldiers.  He  was  also  a  selectman  in  Newton  during  that  year,  1777, 
and  doubtless  held  many  other  positions  of  trust  and  responsibility,  of  which  we 
are  not  informed.  With  his  brother,  Samuel,  he  was  a  residuary  legatee  of  his 
father's  estate,  which  was  very  large.  From  the  town  records  we  learn  that 
he  was  taxed  in  Newton,  Oct.  i,  1798,  for  seventy-eight  acres  of  land,  valued  at 
$2,612.  By  his  first  w'ife  he  had  five  children,  besides  an  infant  which  cost  the  life 
of  its  mother,  and  did  not  survive.  By  his  second  marriage  he  had  ten  children, 
and  none  by  his  third  wife.  He  was  a  soldier  in  the  Revolutionary  war.  He  d.  in 
1785,  in  Pennsylvania,  where  he  had  gone  on  business.     Res.  Waltham.  Mass.

He  married  his  cousin  who  died  one  day  after  he  passed  away.  Their  bodies  were 
buried  in  one  grave.  He  carried  on  a  large  farm  and  owned  other  real  estate  to  a 
large  extent.  He  was  a  very  liberal  man  and  deacon  in  the  Baptist  Church,  and 
conducted  what  was  called  in  those  days  a  "Baptist  Hotel."  He  entertained  a 
great  many  people  free  of  charge.  A  short  distance  from  his  house  and  on  the  top 
of  Fisk  Hill  was  the  old  fashioned  Baptist  meeting  house  with  the  high  back  square 
pews  and  the  sounding  board  over  the  pulpit.  He  d.  Dec.  10,  1815;  res.  Stur-

nard, Caleb  F.,  Linus,  George  W.,  Sarah,  Fanny,  James, 
Charles  Frederick,  Olive,  Hannah.  He  was  b.  June  16,  1773;  d. 
June  24,  1841 ;  a  Baptist  minister,  who  preached  in  the  meeting 
house  on  Fisk  Hill  for  a  good  many  years  and  until  his  health 
failed,  and  he  gave  up  preaching.  He  was  college  educated 
and  a  very  talented  man,  none  superior  or  equal  to  him  in  the 
very  large  association.  He  owned  and  worked  on  his  farm. 
It  is  remembered  how  in  the  winter  season  Rev.  Leonard  and 
many  of  the  congregation  would  go  to  Dea.  Fisk's  hotel  to 
spend  the  noon  hour  in  the  large  old  house.  Three  rooms 
would  be  well  warmed,  one  for  men,  where  apples  and  cider 
would  be  freely  passed  rovind  and  the  minister  and  perhaps  one 
or  two  or  more  ol  the  old  people  invited  to  the  pantry  for  a 
lunch.  Then  tobacco  and  pipes  passed  round.  The  minister 
was  quite  a  smoker,  and  two  of  the  old  deacons  took  snuff. 
One  of  them  lived  to  be  104  years  old,  and  he  was  summoned 
as  a  witness  after  he  was  100  years  old  to  the  court  in  Worces- 
ter in  the  case  of  a  pauper  between  two  towns  when  he  was 
one  of  the  selectmen  of  Sturbridge.  Another  of  the  rooms  was 
for  the  women,  where  the  deacon's  wife  would  furnish  some 
warm  drink  and  apples.  The  other  room  was  for  the  children 
and  they  had  apples.  There  was  no  Sunday  school  in  those 
days,  not  in  that  church.  The  children  of  Sally  and  Rev.

town  of  Southbridge,  July  18,  1868,  aged  86  years  3  months  and 
12  days.  "Mrs.  Leonard's  extreme  age  made  her  an  interesting 
link  with  the  past.  She  was  granddaughter  of  the  two  first 
settlers  of  Sturbridge — Lieutenant  Henry  Fiske,  and  his  broth- 
er, Deacon  Daniel  Fiske,  who  pitched  their  tent  in  1731  on 
what  has  been  known  ever  since  as  'Fiske  Hill'." 

"Her  father  was  Deacon  Henry  Fiske,  son  of  the  first  named, 
who  was  the  sixth  of  a  family  of  14  children,  and  her  mother, 
Sarah,  daughter  of  the  last  named,  and  the  second  of  a  family  of 
16  children,  and  they  were  married  Alay  5,  1774.  Her  father 
died  Dec.  10,  1815,  aged  70,  and  her  mother  next  day,  aged  69, 
and  they  were  both  buried  in  one  grave  in  the  old  cemetery  in 
Sturbridge.  They  had  nine  children,  Mrs.  L.  being  the  sixth, 
and  was  born  in  1782,  a  year  celebrated  for  the  birth  of  a  great 
number  of  prominent  men  in^this  country,  the  last  of  whom — ■ 
Gov.  Levi  Lincoln — died  May  29,  1868.  She  was  married  Sept. 
I,  1799,  to  Rev.  Zenas  L.  Leonard,  a  native  of  Bridgewater,  who 
had  then  been  pastor  of  the  Baptist  Church  on  Fiske  Hill  more 
than  four  years,  with  which  church  she  united.  Although  she 
was  very  young  when  she  assiuned  the  responsible  duties 
of  a  minister's  wife,  which  position,  like  that  of  the  minister, 
was  no  sinecure  at  that  period,  yet  she  developed  at  once  a  re- 
markable capacity  for  the  position.  Though  not  rapid  in  her 
movement  yet  her  wonderful  tact,  perfect  system,  untiring  in- 
dustry, enabled  her  to  accomplish  a  vast  amount  of  work.  She 
was  free  from  eccentricity,  selfishness  and  hypocrisy,  just  what 
she  professed  and  appeared  to  be,  and  every  day  alike.  Their 
new  home  was  established  in  sight  of  her  birthplace  during  the 
fiist  year  of  this  century,  and  was  the  center  of  attraction  to 
her  for  nearly  si.xty-eight  years.  In  addition  to  his  pastoral  du- 
ties, her  husband  was  for  many  years  much  engaged  in  in- 
structing the  youth  of  the  neighborhood,  having  students  in  his 
family  who  were  fitted  for  college  and  the  prominent  positions 
of  business  life.  She  sympathized  with  him,  and  aided  him  in 
all  his  labors,  and  was  indeed  a  helpmate.  A  very  interesting 
sketch  of  his  life  was  published  by  Dr.  Wm.  Sprague,  of  Al- 
bany, in  his  'Annals  of  the  American  Pulpit,'  6th  vol.,  pages

inent events  of  her  hfe.  Suffice  it  to  say,  in  this  dehghtful 
home,  where  was  always  dispensed  a  courteous  and  bounteous 
hospitahty,  friend  and  stranger  aUke  welcomed  and  needs  sup- 
plied, they  reared  a  family  of  seven  children,  three  of  whom 
only  survived  their  mother.  The  father  died  June  24,  1841,  so 
that  she  has  had  a  widowhood  of  more  than  twenty-seven 
years.  She  remained  at  the  homestead  where  her  son  Linus 
Leonard  deceased  Aug.  12,  1862,-  until  her  86th  birthday — the 
4th  of  Apr.,  1868,  when  she  made  a  brief  visit  to  her  daughter, 
jNIrs.  Emmons,  and  then  came  to  her  son's  in  Southbridge, 
where  an  accident  befel  her  on  the  12th  of  June,  which  caused 
her  five  weeks  of  intense  suffering,  and  with  her  other  maladies 
and  weaknesses  of  age,  resulted  in  her  death.  She  bore  her 
pains  with  wonderful  patience  and  resignation,  and  as  charac- 
teristic of  her  whole  life  seemed  more  interested  for  others' 
comfort  than  her  own.  Her  obsequies  were  attended  at  her 
son's  house,  Sunday  afternoon,  July  19,  1868,  at  three  o'clock, 
and  it  was  pleasant  to  look  upon  her  calm  and  placid  features 
which  seemed  to  have  renewed  comparative  youth,  and  to  feel 
that  she  had  attained  eternal  rest.  She  was  buried  beside  her 
husband  and  eldest  son  in  the  new  cemetery  in  Sturbridge. 

"Two  sisters  survive  her,  and  she  left  quite  a  number  of  de- 
scendants to  the  third  generation,  in  whose  hearts,  and  those  of 
numerous  relatives  and  friends  who  knew  her  excellencies,  her 
memory  is  sacredly  enshrined.  She  will  be  sadly  missed,  with 
her  cheerful,  cordial  greeting,  tender  inquiry  and  constant  in- 
terest, but  we  could  not  wish  her  back  to  the  sufferings  and 
wearinesses  of  age.  She  has  lived  a  long  and  active,  useful 
and  somewhat  eventful  life,  and  her  rest  must  be  sweet  and 
glorious."     Southbridge   Journal. 

Fisk  Hill  is  the  most  beautiful  swell  of  land  in  the  town, 
possessing  fertility,  and  commanding  an  extensive  and  delight- 
ful view,  in  every  direction.  Here  you  have  to  the  west,  a  full 
view  of  the  village  of  Sturbridge  Centre,  one  mile,  and  beyond 
in  the  same  direction  the  view  of  Fiskdale  appears  to  very  good 
advantage;  at  the  north  as  far  as  the  vision  can  extend,  you 
catch  a  view  of  the  azure  Monadnock,  hardly  distinguishable 
from  the  surrounding  atmosphere;  very  much  nearer,  about 
twenty-seven  miles  away,  the  Wachuset  appears  head  and 
shoulders  above  her  neighbors;  nearer  still,  the  town  of  Lei- 
cester presents  a  beautiful  appearance  twelve  miles  distant.  At 
the  east  you  have  a  view  of  the  village  of  Charlton,  on  a  grace- 
ful swell  of  land,  presenting  a  stately,  and  no  less  beautiful 
appearance.  _  Thence  southerly,  the  eye  sweeps  over  an  expan- 
sion of  varied  and  lofty  scenery,  exhibiting  spires,  churches, 
villages,  and  scattered  residences,  intermixed  with  the  beauties 
of  nature.  Take  it  all  in  all,  the  eye  may  dwell  with  a  high  de- 
gree of  pleasure  on  a  rare  assemblage  of  natural  and  artificial 
attractions. 

Transporting  ourselves  back  to  that  period,  when  our 
Fisk  ancestors  first  commenced  a  settlement  here,  we  may,  in 
imagination,  catch  a  view  of  the  almost  unbroken  forest,  which 
was  spread  out  around  them.  Contrasting  that  scene  with  the 
present,  the  change  has  lessened  the  sublimity  of  the  prospect, 
but  not  its  beauties.  This  selection  by  the  original  settlers,  viz! 
—Henry  and  Daniel  Fisk— is  a  manifestation  of  good  taste  and 
sound  judgment.  The  breezes  here  are  somewhat  searching, 
but  not  too  much  so  for  health  and  a  vigorous  constitution' 
First  settled  by  them,  the  land  comprising  this  verv  fertile  hill,

On  page  17,  Historical  Sketch  of  Sturbridge  and  Southbridge.  Hon.  George 
Davis  says:  "On  the  southern  declivity  of  this  elevation  was  situated  the  neat  and 
■  comfortal)le  Baptist  Church.  Here  those  families  [of  the  Fisks],  with  others  of 
that  denomination  in  various  parts  of  the  town,  worsiiiped  more  than  half  a  cent- 
'iiry.  Tlic  Rev.  Zenas  L.  Leonard  was  the  watchman  on  this  watch  tower.  Mr^ 
Leonard  was  "  in  season  and  out  of  season  "  in  his  devotion  to  the  spiritual  inter- 
ests of  liis  charge." 

The  church  building  was  raised  June  3,  1784,  on  the  land  of  Henry  Fisk,  and 
in  it  several  ministers  preached  previous  to  August,  1795,  in  which  month  Rev.  Z. 
L.  Leonard  first  preached.  During  a  period  of  thirty-six  years  he  had  immediate 
charge  of  tlie  congregation.  Rev.  Addison  Parker  followed  him,  preaching  in 
this  building,  and  he  then  preached  in  a  new  building  that  was  raised  in  Sturbridge 
Centre   in    1832. 

The  late  Henry  Morse  Fisk  (deceased  Apr.  13,  1896)  said:  "The  old  building 
Avas  on  the  farm  of  Mr.  John  IMcKinstry.  and  when  he  sold  his  farm  in  the  winter 
of  1832  or  spring  of  1833  to  Leonard  Upham,  he  bounded  on  the  land  of  Daniel 
Fiske  witiiout  naming  tlie  meeting-house  lot,  and  Mr.  LTpham  said  he  should  hold 
-the  house  and  lot.  The  society  did  not  want  the  house  and  Mr.  McKinstry  paid 
for  the  building  and  land  to  the  church  or  society.  Mr.  Upham  soon  after  took 
the  l)uilding  down,  but  what  use  was  made  of  the  material  is  not  known."

He  was  a  thrifty  farmer,  and  an  amiable  and  upright  man.  As  a  neighbor,  a  towns- 
5iian,  a  citizen,  and  a  Christian,  he  was  kind,  liberal  and  exemplary.  He  resided 
northerly  on  the  elevation  of  Fisk  Hill.  He  possessed  a  strong  intellect,  and  a 
memory,  in  which  were  treasured  very  many  important  facts  and  events  of  the  stir- 
ring times  in  which  he  lived.  The  causes  of  the  Revolution,  and  subsequent  trans- 
actions, were  fresh  in  his  memory.  He  was  a  prominent  and  efficient  man  in  civil 
and  religious  concerns.  He  left  an  extensive  diary,  which  is  a  valuable  reference 
Avork.  His  conversation  was  always  edifying  and  calculated  to  make  a  salutary 
liiipression.  Not  only  in  his  conversation  but  in  the  transactions  of  life  was 
clearly  manifested  his  implicit  dependence  on  Divine  guidance  in  regard  to  the 
path  of  duty.  To  this  may  be  traced  no  doubt  in  no  small  degree,  that  cheerfulness 
and  serenity  which  uniformly  marked  his  deportment.  Capt.  Fisk's  personal 
appearance  was  manly  and  commanding.  He  died  at  an  advanced  age.  He  was  in 
active  service  during  the  Revolution  about  six  months,  and  received  a  wound  in

Mass.:  m.  there  Apr.  27,  1786.  Priscilla  West,  b.  Tolland.  Conn.,  Nov.  20.  1763:  d. 
Swant'on,  Vt..  Aug.  19.  1840.  She  was  dau.  of  Caleb  West  who  res.  in  Greenwich, 
Mass.  He  was  born  at  Greenwich.  ]\Iass.,  Oct.  4.  ^763-  His  father  died  before  the 
subject  of  this  sketch  was  old  enough  to  realize  the  loss.  A  short  time  before  he 
was  sixteen  he  joined  the  Continental  army  under  Gen.  Washington  as  a  private 
soldier,  and  during  the  remainder  of  the  war  cheerfully  bore  his  share  of  the  suf- 
ferings and  hardships  of  those  who  fought  for  freedom. 

At  his  discharge  from  the  army  he  returned  to  his  native  town,  and,  after  at- 
tending a  district  school  the  first  winter,  was  employed  in  teaching  school  during" 
several  subsequent  winters  and  labored  by  the  montli  the  rest  of  the  time  until  he 
was  married,  when  he  moved  onto  a  piece  of  forest  land  which  he  cleared  and  re- 
duced to  a  state  of  cultivation  by  his  own  labor.  He  was  elected  a  member  of  the 
Assembly  of  Massachusetts,  from  Greenwich,  when  in  his  22d  year,  and  continued 
a  member  of  that  body  for  six  or  seven  years,  serving  during  1791-92-93-95  and 
1896.  Soon  afterward  he  began  to  preach  the  doctrines  of  Universalism.  Whert 
35  years  of  age,  in  1797,  he  removed  to  Barre  in  Vermont,  and  continued  in  the 
clerical  profession  for  some  time.  Later  he  was  elected  to  the  General  Assembly 
in  the  fall  of  1801   which  sat  at  Newbury. 

Soon  after  taking  his  seat  in  that  bovly,  by  his  talent,  energy  and  integrity,  he 
gained  the  confidence  of  his  political  party  and  the  respect  and  esteem  of  his  polit- 
ical  opponents. 

He  continued  to  be  annually  elected  to  the  Assembly  until  he  was  chosen  a 
Representative  to  Congress  in  1805,  and  continued  a  member  of  that  body  until 
Mar.  4.  1815.  During  his  career  in  Congress  he  was  ever  found  the  firm  supporter 
of  his  country's  honor.  He  was  in  favor  of  a  resort  to  arms  rather  than  resort 
to  the  haughty  dictation  of  the  self  styled  "Mistress  of  the  Seas."  He  voted  for 
the  declaration  of  war  in  1812  and  supported  that  measure  in  the  hall  of  Congress, 
and  among  his  fellow  citizens  at  home.  Many  now  living  well  remember  with 
what  interest,  in  1812  and  1813  in  assemblies  of  the  people,  they  listened  to  his 
voice,  the  voice  of  a  Revolutionary  soldier,  as  he  vindicated  the  measures  of  the 
general  government,  descriljed  the  insults  and  indignities  which  had  been  heaped 
upon  our  government  and  people  by  a  foreign  power,  and  called  upon  them  ta 
vindicate  their  rights  and  fame.  He  enjoyed  the  confidence  and  esteem  of  Jeffer- 
son, Madison  and  Monroe  and  their  prominent  supporters.  In  June,  1812,  he  was 
offered  by   President   Madison  the  position  of  Postmaster  General,   but  declined.

In  July,  1812,  he  was  appointed  Judge  of  the  territory  of  Indiana  by  James  Madi- 
son with  the  advice  and  consent  of  the  Senate,  but  declined  the  office.  The  stren- 
uous opposition  of  his  friends  to  his  leaving  the  State  induced  him  not  to  accept 
the  appointment.  He  was  possessed  of  a  good  ninid,  sound  judgment,  and  was 
an  excellent  reasoner.  He  was  of  great  integrity,  and  one  of  the  few  who  held 
and  was  otifered  positions  of  trust  without  seeking  them;  he  was  a  man  of  unusual 
ability.  He  was  both  a  personal  and  political  friend  of  President  Monroe,  and  at 
Montpelier  on  the  morning  of  July  24,  1817.  at  eleven  o'clock,  he  had  the  pleasure 
of  delivering  the  address  of  welcome  in  behalf  of  the  citizens  of  Montpelier  and 
vicinity  to  the  President  on  reaching  Montpelier  on  his  tour  through  the  New 
England  States.  In  1802  he  was  Assistant  Judge  and  in  1809  Chief  Judge,  of 
Orange  County,  Vermont,  and  in  1815  and  1816  he  was  appointed  one  of  tlie  Judges 
of  the  Supreme  Court  of  Vermont.  In  1817  he  was/elected  a  Senator  in  Congress, 
which  office  he  held  but  one  year  and  resigned.  He  was  afterward  Collector  of 
Customs  for  this  district  for  eight  years.  He  was  marked  for  his  decision.  „of 
character,  his  strict  integrity,  his  powers  of  persuasion  and  his  kind,  affable  de- 
portment. He  was  a  selfmade.  a  selftaught  man.  He  has  filled  many  offices  with 
honor  to  himself  and  to  his  constituents.  His  last  days  were  tranciuit  and  serene. 
In  describing  the  speakers  at  the  great  war  meeting  in  1812,  Mr.  Thompson  in  his 
history  of  Vermont  says:  "On  one  side  sat  the  small-sized,  keen-eyed,  ready-wit- 
ted and  really  talented  James  Fisk  of  Barre.  who  was  then  a  member  of  Congress 
and  who  had  now  come  on  to  act  as  the  champion  of  the  Democrats  at  this  m,eet- 
ing."  In  1809  the  degree  of  A.  M.  was  conferred  upon  him  by  Middlebury  Col- 
lege. He  enlisted  for  service  in  the  Revolutionary  wai  in  Nov.,  1781,  in  Capt. 
Wm.  Willis'  Companj'  in  Col.  John  Brooks"  Regiment  of  the  Mass.  line.  He  re- 
sided in  Hardwick  and  Greenwich,  Mass.  He  applied  for  a  pension  July  23,  1832, 
from  Swanton,  Vt..  where  he  was  then  residing.  He  was  then  68  years  of  age. 
His  pension  was  granted  and  he  drew  $70.66  per  annum  (see  Coolidge  and  Mans-

out  he  enlisted  in  the  company  commanded  by  Capt.  Mann  in  Col.  BuUard's  regi- 
ment. About  the  time  of  the  Revolution  he  was  a  Selectman  and  as  such  signed 
the  following:  "We.  the  subscribers,  do  truly  and  sincerely  acknowledge,  pro- 
fess, testify,  and  declare,  that  the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts,  is  and  of  right 
ought  to  be.  a  free,  sovereign,  and  independent  State;  and  we  do  swear  that  we  will 
bear  true  faith  and  allegiance  to  the  said  Commonwealth,  and  that  we  will  de- 
fend the  same  against  traitorous  conspiracies  and  all  hostile  attempts  whatsoever. 
And  that  we  do  renounce,  and  abjure  all  allegiance,  subjection,  and  obedience  to 
the  King.  Queen,  or  Governor  of  Great  Britain  (as  the  case  may  be),  and  every 
other  foreign  power  whatsoever.  And  that  no  foreign  prince,  person,  prelate,  state 
or  potentate,  hath  or  ought  to  have  any  jurisdiction,  superiority,  pre-eminence,  au- 
thority, dispensing  or  other  power,  in  any  matter,  civil,  ecclesiastical,  or  spiritual, 
within  this  Commonwealth,  except  the  authority  or  power  which  is  or  may  be 
vested  by  their  constituents  in  the  Congress  of  the  United  States.  And  we  do 
further  testify  and  declare,  that  no  man.  or  body  of  men.  hath  or  can  have  any 
right  to  absolve  or  discharge  us  from  the  obligations  of  this  oath,  declaration,  or 
affirmation.  And  that  we  do  make  this  acknowledgment,  profession,  testimony, 
declaration,  denial,  renunciation  and  abjuration,  heartily  and  truly,  according  to 
the  common  meaning  and  acceptation  of  the  foregoing  words,  without  any  equivo- 
cation, mental  evasion,  or  secret  reservation  whatsoever.  So  help  us  God."  He 
held  other  town  offices  and  at  one  time  was  a  member  of  the  Legislature.  He  died 
intestate  and  his  estate  was  divided  Apr.  28,  1797;  Calvin  F.  received  all  the  real

tressing character  occurred  at  the  house  of  Joshua  Fisk,  now 
that  of  the  heirs  of  ]\Ioses  Fisk.  Hannah  Fisk,  4  years  old, 
was  shot  by  her  brother,  a  few  years  in  advance  of  her  in  age. 
John  (the  name  of  the  brother  who  committed  the  act)  had 
been  out  with  a  still  older  brother  in  himting  excursions,  and 
at  this  time  leveled  the  gun.  which  happened  to  be  loaded,  at 
his  infant  sister,  remarking  that  "he  would  kill  a  wild  goose." 
The  contents  of  the  gun  were  lodged  in  the  side  of  the  girl, 
who  fell  instantly  over  the  warping  bars,  in  the  northeast  cham- 
ber of  the  house.  The  stains  of  the  blood  on  the  floor  were 
vof  i^anv  vears  since  plainly  to  be  seen.

1732;  m.  Sarah  Bullard,  of  East  Medway;  dau.  of  John;  d.  in  1830.  David  Fiske, 
son  of  John  and  Abigail  Leland  Babcock,  b.  Apr.  16,  1732,  was  a  noted  descendant 
from  many  noted  English  families,  viz.:  Fiskes,  Lelands  and  Babcocks;  the  latter 
name  being  among  those  old.  noted  and  true  Pilgrims  who  sailed  from  Holland 
in  ship  Anne,  and  came  to  this  country  to  worship  God  according  to  the  dictates 
of  tiTcir  own  consciences.  Mr.  Fiske  was  a  man  of  great  energy  of  character;  faith- 
ful to  the  trusts  confided  to  him;  an  active  business  man;  a  large  and  successful 
farmer;  owner  of  large  tracts  of  land  in  this  vicinity.  He  was  a  man  of  military 
attainments  and  ambitious  to  serve  his  country  and  State  in  the  early  wars  with 
the  Indians,  and  it  is  recorded  in  his  private  daily  diary  of  his  marching  from  his 
native  town.  May  22,  1758,  through  many  of  the  western  towns  of  the  State  to  New 
York,  there  meeting  other  regiments  and  troops  from  other  states.  They  cap- 
tured many  forts  and  dispersed  enemies,  and  their  raid  was  a  sviccess.  Return- 
ing home  he  settled  on  his  farm  again,  where  he  prospered  in  his  chosen  vocation, 
rearing  and  educating  a  large  family;  and  it  is  said  of  him  that  when  the  sons  be- 
came of  age  he  gave  each  one  of  them  a  farm,  except  the  youngest,  Timothy  (to 
him  he  gave  a  college  education),  who  graduated  at  Harvard  as  M.  D.  In  his  diary 
are  found  receipts  for  goodly  sums  of  money  given  to  all  his  children  at  their 
majority.     He  d.   Dec.  23,   1817;  res.   Holliston,  Mass.

1751;  m.  Nov.  ID,  17-2,  Sake}'  Thurston,  b.  1753;  dan.  of  Rev.  David  Thurston,  of

1761;  d.  July  28,  1844.  David  was  born  in  Framingham,  Mass.  His  father,  Isaac, 
purchased  land  in  Oxford,  opposite  Town's  Pond,  upon  which  he  went  to  reside. 
There  he  was  married  to  his  wife,  the  daughter  of  the  local  clergyman.  He  had 
studied  medicine  elsewhere,  and  was  well  versed  in  physics  in  all  its  intricate 
branches.  He  soon  became  the  leading  physician  of  the  town  and  was  also 
well  known  in  all  the  country  rotmd  about.  He  had  many  students,  for  in  those 
early  days  the  prospective  physician  was  obliged  to  study  with  a  regular  prac- 
titioner. Among  his  students  who  later  became  celebrated  were  Drs.  Holbrook,  of 
Thompson,  Conn.,  and  Dr.  Bullard  of  Sutton.  Besides  being  a  successful  practi- 
tioner he  was  very  active  and  public  spirited  in  town  affairs.  He  was  an  active 
free  mason  and  one  of  the  leading  men  in  the  formation  of  the  Oxford  society, 
a  stockholder  in  the  Central  Cotton  Mfg.  Co.,  an  adherent  of  Shay's  in  the  famous 
incipient  rebellion.  He  went  to  Cambridge  at  the  time  of  the  siege  of  Boston,  had,

he  went  to  St.  Louis.  Mo.  In  a  letter  to  a  friend  he  says,  after 
mentioning  the  States  he  had  passed  through,  "I  think  of  all 
the  places  in  my  travels,  no  one  equals  this.  It  is  without  ex- 
ception the  finest  country  I  ever  heard  or  saw  for  goodness, 
but  the  inhabitants  are  indolent,  living  from  hand  to  mouth. 
Millions  of  acres  of  land  in  this,  the  Northwest  Territory,  are  as 
level  as  a  floor,  without  a  tree  upon  it,  but  grass  as  high  as  your 
head  on  horseback,  and  very  thick;  100  bushels  of  corn  to  the 
acre;  wheat  good,  but  no  good  mills  at  present;  through  idle- 
ness. Can  keep  200  hogs,  100  cows,  50  horses  here  as  easy  as 
you  can  five  hogs.  I  have  been  to  the  lead  mines  and  find 
there  is  made  in  this  territory  3,000  tons  of  lead  per  year."  He 
remained  west  until  the  war  of  1812  and  enlisted.  Was  acting

strong  disapprobation  of  involuntary  servitude;  was  never  the  owner  of  a  slave,

mouth College,  in  1791;  studied  theology  with  Rev.  Dr.  Lyman,  at  Hatfield,  and 
was  ordained  to  the  ministry  at  Hadley  in  May,  1794.  For  some  time  he  preached 
as  an  evangelist  in  Geneva,  N.  Y.;  Milford,  Conn.,  and  North  Brookfield,  Mass, 
He  declined  these  calls,  but  accepted  one  to  New  Braintree,  Mass.,  where  he 
was  installed  pastor  in  Aug.,  1796.  In  1809  he  had  a  revival  which  was  prolonged 
two  years,  and  this  was  repeated  in  1818-19-26-31-42,  by  which  large  numbers 
were  gathered  in  the  church.  He  preached  his  half-century  discourse  in  the 
New  Braintree  church,  Oct.  26,  1846,  which  was  published.  He  was  interested 
in  education,  was  one  of  the  efficient  helpers  in  the  building  up  of  Amherst  Col- 
lege, and  received  the  degree  of  D.  D.  from  that  institution  in  1844.  He  continued 
to  preach  and  perform  pastoral  duties,  with  the  assistance  of  a  colleague,  until 
Oct.,  1854.  He  spent  sixty-one  years  in  the  actual  ministry,  and  above  si.Kty- 
eight  with  the  same  people.  In  person  he  was  tall,  well-proportioned,  of  digni- 
fied manners,  of  serene  and  intelligent  countenance.  He  possesed  a  clear,  well 
balanced  mind,  and  a  general  completeness  of  character  seldom  found.  His  pul- 
pit efforts  were  marked  by  eminent  good  sense  and  great  appropriateness,  espe- 
cially in  prayer.  A  number  of  his  discourses  were  published.  He  d.  Mar.,  1855;

had  two  children:  John  Fiske  died  1862,  and  Pamell  Coan. 
William  Fiske,  the  father,  was  ordained  at  Mr.  Beecher's 
church.  He  returned  south  two  years  ago.  and  has  been  in 
the  employ  of  the  government  as  superintendent  of  schools 
in  a  district  about  New  Orleans.  He  has  always  felt  a  deep 
interest  in  the  blacks,  and  since  he  has  been  among  them  he 
has  preached  constantly,  as  well  as  taught  them.  But  he  felt 
that  he  could  be  of  more  use  and  have  more  iiifluence,  if  he 
were  an  ordained  minister,  and  as  he  was  obliged  to  corrje 
North,  on  account  of  ill  health,  he  improved  the  opportunity 
of  having  the  rite  performed.

May  13,  1800,  in  Boston.  Sarah,  b.  Sept.  23,  1,90, 
d.  Jan.,  1883.  He  was  born  in  Barre,  Mass., 
where  he  resided  until  21  years  of  age  when  he 
went  to  Boston,  where  he  lived  about  ten  years 
(married  there  in  1813).  Then  moved  to  New 
York,  lived  there  until  his  death  on  August  12, 
1868.  He  was  formerly  in  the  produce  commis- 
sion business,  but  retired  many  years  before  his 
death.  He  was  a  very  domestic  man,  devoted  to 
his  family — a  most  genial  and  kmdly  nature. 
Those  who  knew  him  speak  of  his  kindly  na- 
ture and  say  they  don't  believe  he  had  an  en- 
emy in  the  world,  and  he  had  many,  many 
friends.  He  was  not  active  in  politics,  nor  did 
he  accumulate  a  large  fortune,  but  that  is  not  all 
of  life.  He  was  an  active  Mason,  and  had  a 
Masonic  funeral.  One  of  the  obituary  notices 
published  at  the  time  of  his  death  says  that  "he 
was  held  as  authority  on  disputed  matters  rela- 
tive to  Masonic  usage,  and  his  opinion  was  held 
in  high  respect  by  the  craft."  He  d.  Aug.  12,

A  true  record  of  the  return  Aaron  Leland  Clerk."  The  Town  Clerk  of  Cavendish. 
Vt.,  writes  that  there  is  nothing  on  the  records  of  Fisks.  Chester  was  never  any 
part  of  any  other  town.  It  first  received  its  charter  in  1763  as  New  Flam- 
stead.  Afterwards  the  name  was  changed  to  Chester.  He  was  born 
in  New  England  and  was  a  successful  physician.  He  settled  in  Genesee  Co., 
N.  Y.  His  eldest  son,  Dr.  David  Lewis  Fisk,  located  in  Kentucky  and  the  father 
paid  him  a  visit.  Being  much  pleased  with  the  country  he  decided  to  locate  there 
himself.  He  resided  for  some  time  in  Kentucky  before  sending  for  his  family.  He 
boarded  with  John  Carlisle,  the  grandfather  of  John  G.  Carlisle  (not  then  born), 
the  present  Secretary  of  the  Treasury.  Dr.  Fisk  on  his  way  back  to  New  York 
stopped  at  Mount  Vernon,  O.,  to  visit  some  friends  he  had  known  in  the  east,  and 
there  he  died.  He  had  resided  in  what  was  then  Pomfrey  Hollow,  now 
Gran,  and  in  Manlius  Square,  both  in  Onondaga  County,  N.  Y.  He  resided  but 
a  very  short  time  in  Genesee  County,  N.  Y.,  and  then  returned  to  Onondaga 
County,  N.  Y.  He  was  a  handsome  man,  six  feet,  well  proportioned,  healthy, 
and  quite  an  athlete.  He  was  a  natural  doctor  and  became  eminent  in  his  profes- 
sion. In  making  a  diognosis  he  exhibited  rare  ability.  He  was  of  a  rather 
roving  disposition  and  acquired  property  slowly.  He  d.  Feb.  28,  1829;  res.  Gen-

Fisk  was  bred  a  farmer,  having  few  advantages  for  an  education  besides  those  fur- 
nished by  the  common  school.  In  the  winter  seasons  from  1822  to  1840  he  was 
mostly  employed  in  teaching  public  and  "rivate  schools.  For  nearly  twenty  years, 
commencing  Mar.,  1824,  he  was  a  member  of  the  Superintending  School  Com- 
mittee of  his  native  town;  and  during  that  time  he  had  the  satisfaction  of  seeing 
the  common  schools  of  Dublin  rise  from  the  lowest  to  the  highest  rank  among 
similar  institutions  in  the  State.  While  farming  was  his  principal  business,  he 
has  been  employed  more  or  less  in  surveying  lands,  and  routes  for  roads,  in 
settling  estates  and  in  taking  care  of  funds  belonging  to  individuals. 
He  was  one  of  the  compilers  of  the  "History  of  Dublin,"  published  in  1855, 
which  is  regarded  as  a  work  of  some  merit.  He  has  held  several  positions  of  honor 
and  trust,  among  them  are  that  of  Town  Clerk;  agent  to  defend  the  town  in  several 
long  and  perplexing  law  suits;  agent  having  charge  of  the  town  funds  ($18,768.80)

Fourteenth    Regiment,    New    Hampshire   Volunteers.    Nov.   2, 

1863,  he  was  commissioned  Second  Lieutenant  of  Company  E, 
Fourteenth  Regiment,  and  May  27,  1864,  he  was  promoted  to 
First  Lieutenant  of  Company  K,  in  the  same  regiment.  On 
being  mustered  in  as  First  Lieutenant  he  took  command  of  the 
company  which  he  held  to  his  death.  He  was  killed  in  the 
battle  of  Winchester,  Va.,  Sept.  19,  1864.  An  ofiicer  of  the  reg- 
iment said  of  him:  "Lieutenant  Fisk  will  be  remembered  as 
a  dutiful  son,  an  affectionate  brother,  a  dear  friend,  an  agree- 
able companion,  a  kind  neighbor,  a  true  soldier,  and  a  brave 
officer.  His  townsmen  bear  ample  testimony  to  his  worth  as 
a  citizen  and  a  man.  In  the  army  too,  officers  and  men 
keep  his  memory  green,  and  sadly  call  to  mind  that  he  will 
no  more  join  them  on  the  march,  at  bivouac,  in  camp  or  where 
death  shots  fall  thick  and  fast  He  was  ever  ready  to  do  a 
kind  deed,  both  at  home  and  abroad,  and  many  a  soldier  re- 
members him  kindly  for  attentions  received  at  his  hands  while 
on  a  sick  bed.  He  was  prompt  to  do  his  duty  and  'died  at  his 
post'  in  the  van  of  the  fight.  A  patriot's  honors  rest  upon  his 
brow."

on  a  farm,  where  he  lived  for  seventy-nine  years,  or  until  his  death.  He  went  to 
the  Green  Mountain  State  with  his  two  brothers.  In  1790  he  returned  to  Rhode 
Island,  was  married,  and  soon  returned,  bringing  the  household  effects  and  wife 
in  an  ox  team.  He  lived  in  a  log  house  twenty  years,  when  he  erected  the  frame 
house  now  standing.  He  possessed  a  rugged  constitution  and  was  remarkably 
fitted  to  encounter  the  obstacles  and  endure  the  privations  necessarily  experienced 
during  the  establishment  of  a  home  in  the  wilderness.  Mr.  Fisk  was  a  great  hunter 
and  trapper  in  the  early  days,  and  many  good  stories  are  related  of  his  adventures 
with  wild  game.  He  led  a  laborious  and  industrious  life,  always  peaceable  and 
unassuming,  and  died  at  the  ripe  age  of  96.     He  d.  ae.  96,  in  1867:  res.  Danby,  Vt.

1431.  HON.  SAMUEL  FISK  (Ichabod  E.,  Ebenezer,  Ebenezer,  John,  John, 
Phinehas,  Thomas,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Symond),  b.  Aug.  16,  1776; 
m.  at  Isle  La  Motte,  Vt.,  Polly  Scott,  dau.  of  Henry,  b.  1787;  d.  Jan.  23.  1864. 
Samuel  Fisk,  Esq..  was  born  Aug.  9,  A.  D.  1776;  came  to  Isle  La  Motte,  in  the 
State  of  Vermont,  with  his  father  Ichabod  Ebenezer  Fisk,  a  collegiate  in  the  year 
A.  D.  1788,  said  family  being  one  of  the  first  families  who  settledsaid  Isle  La 
Motte  and  located  upon  the  real  estate  which  afterward  developed  into  the  Fisk 
Marble  Quarry  in  said  Isle  La  Motte.  Through  the  opportunities  afforded  by 
his  father,  Samuel  became  well  educated.  He  had  a  very  peculiar  manner  of 
expressing  his  ideas  in  language  that  indicated  a  large  degree  of  magnanimity 
which  he  actually  possessed.     His  sayings  and  aphorisms  were  remembered  by 


FISKE  GENEALOGt.  297 


his  contemporaries  and  handed  down  to  posterity.  Those  who  knew  him  in  his 
Hfetime  say  that  he  was  never  known  to  distress  or  to  attempt  to  distress  or 
injure  a  person  no  matter  how  much  he  might  be  aspersed,  mahgned  or  tra- 
duced; retaliation  and  vindictiveness  being  foreign  to  his  nature.  He  was  always 
affable  and  generous  in  his  impulses.  The  writer  hereof  lived  a  near  neighbor 
to  Samuel  Fisk  fifty  years  ago  and  knows  that  the  statements  above  narrated  are 
true.  Samuel  Fisk  was  one  of  the  first  organizers  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal 
Church,  in  said  Isle  La  Motte,  and  always  gave  liberally  from  his  large  resources 
for  the  maintenance  of  said  church  during  his  lifetime.  He  represented  his  town 
in  the  General  Assembly  of  the  State  of  Vermont  in  the  year  A.  D.  1802,  and  gave 
his  town  a  name  at  said  Legislature,  calling  it  "Vineyard."  It  bore  that  name 
until  1830,  when  it  was  changed  and  named  "Isle  La  Motte."  The  said  Samuel 
was  the  first  of  the  Fisk  family  who  originated  and  developed  the  noted  Fisk 
Marble  Quarry  in  Isle  La  Motte.  By  this  industry  and  his  large  farming  opera- 
tions he  became  wealthy  and  was  the  richest  man  in  town  for  a  number  of  years 
and  up  to  his  death,  which  occurred  at  Isle  La  Motte  Jan.  25,  1858.  In  his  life- 
time he  married  Polly  Scott,  and  their  children's  names  were  Sylvia,  Laura, 
Julia,  Ira  E.,  Nelson,  Henry  S.,  Hiram  C,  Sarah  and  Julius  S.,  who  are  all 
deceased.  Samuel  Fisk  was  81  years  5  months  and  16  days  old  at  his  decease.

Fiske,  author,  was  born  in  Hartford,  Conn.,  Mar.  30,  1842. 
He  is  the  only  child  of  Edmund  Brewster  Green,  of  Smyrna, 
Del.,  and  Mary  (Fiske)  Bound,  of  Middletown,  Conn.  The 
father  was  editor  of  newspapers  in  Hartford,  New  York  and 
Panama,  where  he  died  in  1852,  and  his  widow  married  Hon. 
Edwin  W.  Stoughton,  of  New  York,  in  1855.  The  son's  name 
was  originally  Edmund  Fiske  Green.  In  1855  he  took  the 
name  of  his  maternal  great-grandfather,  John  Fiske.  He  lived 
at  Middletown  during  childhood  and  until  he'entered  Harvard, 
where  he  was  graduated  in  1863.  He  was  graduated  at  the 
Harvard  Law  School  in  1865,  having  been  already  admitted  to 
the  Suffolk  bar  in  1864,  but  has  never  practiced  law.  His 
career  as  author  began  in  1861,  with  an  article  on  "Mr.  Buckle's 
Fallacies,"  published  in  the  "National  Quarterly  Review." 
Since  that  time  he  has  been  a  frequent  contributor  to  American 
and  British  periodicals.  In  1869-71  he  was  university  lecturer 
on  philosophy  at  Harvard;  in  1870  instructor  in  history  there, 
and  in  1872-79  assistant  librarian.  On  resigning  the  latter 
place,  in  1879,  he  was  elected  a  member  of  the  board  of  over- 
seers, and  at  the  expiration  of  the  six  years'  term  was  re-elected 
in  1885.  Since  1881  he  has  lectured  annually  on  American 
history  at  Washington  University,  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  and  since 
1884  has  held  a  professorship  of  American  history  at  that  in- 
stitution, but  continues  to  make  his  home  at  Cambridge.  He 
lectured  on  American  history  at  University  College,  London, 
in  1879,  and  at  the  Royal  Institution  of  Great  Britain  in  1880. 
Since  1871  he  has  given  many  hundred  lectures,  chiefly  upon 
American  history,  in  the  principal  cities  of  the  United  States 
and  Great  Britain.  The  largest  part  of  his  life  has  been  de- 
voted to  the  study  of  history;  but  at  an  early  age  inquiries  into 
the  nature  of  human  progress  led  him  to  a  careful  study  of  the 
doctrine  of  evolution,  and  it  was  as  an  expounder  0I  this  doc-

trine  that  he  first  became  known  to  the  public.  In  1871  he 
arrived  at  the  discovery  of  the  causes  of  the  prolonged  infancy 
of  mankind,  and  the  part  played  by  it  in  determining  human 
development;  and  the  importance  of  this  contribution  to  the 
Darwinian  theory,  now  generally  admitted,  was  immediately 
recognized  by  Darwin  and  Spencer.  His  published  books  are: 
"Tobacco  and  Alcohol"  (New  York,  1868) ;  "Myths  and  Myth- 
Makers"  (Boston,  1872) ;  "Outlines  of  Cosmic  Philosophy,

through  Canada,  he  was  imprisoned  in  a  guard-house  for  some  time  on  suspicion 
of  being  a  spy,  probably  during  the  war  of  1812.  He  also  told  of  carrying  on

-William,  John,  William,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Symond),  b.  Cumber- 
land Hill,  R.  I.,  Feb.  29,  1793;  m.  in  Paterson.  N.  J.,  in  1815,  Judith  Qureaux,  b. 
1801;  d.  1865.  Haley  Fisk  was  born  in  Cumberland,  R.  I.,  in  1793.  He  was  a 
machinist  and  engineer  by  trade,  and  while  in  Paterson,  N.  J.  during  the  war  of 
1812,  raised  a  company,  of  which  he  was  Lieutenant,  and  went  to  Cape  May  for 
duty  as  a  member  of  the  State  Militia;  was  not  called  on  to  go  further.  He  was 
an  expert  swordsman  and  a  good  musician.  During  his  life  he  had  charge  of  a 
powder  mil!  at  Spotswood,  N.  J.,  which  blew  up  after  he  left  there.  He  was  also 
in  charge  of  the  work  of  building  the  lower  lock  of  the  Delaware  and  Raritan  canal 
at  that  city,  when  the  canal  was  built,  and  afterward  started  the  first  iron  foundry 
in  that  city  and  built  the  boiler  and  engine  with  which  it  was  run.  Before  this 
was  finished  he  ran  the  foundry  by  horse  power.  He  was  a  friend  of  Henry  Clay 
and  other  prominent  Whig  politicians  and  was  a  power  in  politics  in  the  40's,  and 
up  to  the  war,  in  that  city  and  county,  was  Justice  of  the  Peace  for  over  thirty- 
five  years.  For  a  number  of  years  he  was  a  county  judge,  and  was  prominent 
in  social  aftairs.  His  honest)'  was  a  proverb  and  as  Justice  he  preferred  to  have 
litigants  settle  their  differences  rather  than  throw  money  into  his  hands  by  litiga- 
tion. He  was  a  Mason  and  when  the  two  lodges  of  F.  &  A.  M's.  in  that  city  were 
broken  up  during  the  anti-Masonic  craze  he  was  the  means  of  gathering  the  mem- 
bers together  and  forming  what  was  called  the  Union  Lodge,  which  is  still  in 
existence.  He  was  ever  after  called  the  "Father  of  the  Lodge."  He  was  buried  in 
that  city  with  Masonic  honors.  He  d.  in  Greenpoint,  N.  Y.,  1877;  res.  New

I,  1822;  m.  2d,  in  Mayfield,  Jan.  6,  1823,  Lydia  Wells,  b.  1793;  d.  1869.  He  was 
a  farmer.  Nathaniel  Fisk  possessed  a  remarkable  mind  and  was  no  ordinary 
orator  at  Masonic  festivals.  But  like  all  the  rest  of  the  Fisk  family  of  whom  one 
has  any  knowledge,  was  exceedingly  modest  and  unpretending,  being  content  to 
lead  a  quiet  life  on  his  farm.  Nathaniel  Fisk  was  an  active,  zealous  Mason,  as  also 
were  all  his  sons  by  his  first  wife,  Lois  Van  Buren  Hall.  During  the  days  of  anti- 
Masonry,  by  the  appointment  of  the  Grand  Lodge  he  had  much  to  do  in  tracing 
out  the  life  of  Morgan,  who  was  said  to  have  been  murdered  by  the  Masons 
for  being  untrue  to  his  Masonic  obligations.  Mr.  Fisk  found  positive  proof  that 
Morgan  was  not  murdered,  but  left  the  United  States,  went  to  Germany,  where  he 
lived  many  years  and  died  there.  One  of  our  foreign  Ministers  saw  Morgan  in 
Germany,  recognizing  him  and  conversed  with  him  concerning  the  reports  of 
his  murder.     He  d.  in  West  Bush,  N.  Y.;  res.  Mayfield,  N.  Y.

boys.  The  oldest  of  the  brothers  became  a  Methodist  minister,  and  his  twin 
brother.  Oris,  who  died  at  Florida,  this  county,  in  1877,  was  a  minister  in  the  Pres- 
byterian Church.  She  was  a  descendant  of  Alexander  Fraser,  his  great-grand- 
father, who  settled  in  Guilford,  Conn.,  in  1745.  This  Alexander  was  the  second  son 
of  Simon  Fraser,  twelfth  Lord  Lorat.  A.  Pierce  Fraser  went  with  William  the 
Conqueror  into  England.  His  grandson  settled  in  the  south  of  Scotland,  whence 
the  famil}'  branched  ofT  into  Aberdeenshire  and  Invernesshire,  the  latter  branch

William,  John,  William,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Symond),  b.  Schuyler- 
ville,  N.  Y.,  Feb.  8,  1811;  m.  at  Manchester,  N.  Y.,  June  14,  1832,  Adelia  Wells,  b. 
Mar.  7,  1812;  d.  July  27,  1888.  Lonson  and  his  brothers  went  to  Newark  at  such  an 
early  age  that  important  links  in  the  history  back  of  Jonathan  were  either  not 
known  to  them  or  were  lost  or  forgotten.  The  old  family  homestead  is  located 
about  three  miles  southwest  of  Newark,  N.  Y.,  and  on  this  farm  nine  children  were 
born,  all  now  (1895)  alive,  although  the  father  and  mother  are  dead. 
The  father  was  deacon  of  the  Newark  Baptist  Church  forty  years;  held  town  and 
village  ofifices,  and,  although  one  of  the  early  settlers  there,  accumulated  a  very 
respectable  property.  He  and  his  wife  lived  to  celebrate  the  fiftieth  anniverssary 
01  marriage,  enjoying  the  occasion  in  the  presence  of  their  unbroken  family,  to- 
gether for  the  first  time  in  twenty  years.  Lonson  Fisk  was  a  farmer's  son,  and 
chose  farming  as  a  life  occupation  for  himself.  At  the  age  of  21  he  located  on  a 
farm  adjoining  his  father's,  near  Newark,  in  the  southwest  part  of  Wajaie  Co.,  New 
York.  He  had  a  good  common  school  education,  and  by  reading  kept  pace  with 
the  times  in  knowledge  of  the  world's  doings.  He  was  a  Christian  man  in  the  full 
sense  of  the  word,  and  gave  liberally  of  his  time  and  means  to  the  church.  He, 
though  interested  in  political  affairs,  never  held  ofifice.  In  1873  he  left  the  farm  in 
the  care  of  one  of  his  sons  and  resided  in  the  village  of  Newark  until  his  death.  He

d.  Nov.  16,  1885,  in  Ashland.  He  remembers  back  to  the  age  of  two  and  a  half 
years  when  a  company  of  militia  were  passing  the  house,  and  the  family  had 
assembled  at  the  windows  leaving  no  place  for  him.  So  he  thrust  his  head  out  of 
the  cat-hole  near  the  floor.  The  captain  saw  his  head  and  wishing  a  little  sport 
rode  up  and  drawing  his  sword  said,  "Take  your  head  in  or  I  shall  cut  it  off."  At 
his  advanced  age  of  nearly  92  he  laughs  about  it  now  and  says  it  is  needless  to  say 
his  head  went  in.  When  4  years  of  age  his  father  moved  to  Eden,  Vt.,  on  a  two- 
hurse  sled.  He  rode  on  one  side  of  the  sled  while  his  sister  [Margaret  sat 
upon  the  other  side  so  no  points  of  interest  should  be  passed  unnoticed  on  the  way, 
At  the  age  of  14  he  and  his  sister  Margaret  were  bound  out  to  their  brother 
Clark,  until  they  became  of  age,  to  work  out  the  old  debt  Ciark  had  paid  tor  his 
father  when  he  lost  so  much  as  a  huckster.  He  came  to  Boston  at  21,  and  drove 
stage  from  Boston  to  Worcester  for  a  few  years.  During  that  time  became  ac- 
quainted with  Hannah  Whitney  Alden,  and  returned  to  Eden,  bought  a  farm, 
erected  buildings  (near  his  father's  home),  and  married,  Jan.  14,  1834.  There 
his  six  children  were  born,  and  in  1855  moved  to  Hyde  Park,  on  account  of  beiter 
schools  for  his  children.  He  returned,  to  his  own  home  in  Eden  in  1861.  Sold  and 
bought  a  farm  in  Ashland,  Mass.,  in  Apr.,  1865,  where  he  now  (1895)  lives  at  the 
age  of  91  years  and  7  months.  He  was  always  and  even  now  is  fun-loving,  believing 
that  it  is  better  to  not  watch  for  the  solemn  shadows  that  will  surely  find  us.  but 
make  the  most  of  life  as  we  go  along.  Honest  and  upright  in  his  dealings,  often 
telling  his  children  that  no  Fiske  was  ever  behind  the  bars.  Is  a  Congregationalist 
in  creed.  Republican  in  politics.  An  Ashland  paper  in  referring  to  its  aged  citizen 
says:  "Four  Score  and  Twelve  Years. — Our  honored  townsman,  Washington 
Fiske.  reached  the  age  of  92  years  last  Saturday,  and  was  able  to  be  up  and  receive 
his  friends  who  called  upon  him  with  congratulations  for  a  life  so  well  rounded

at  Burlington,  Mass.,  Sept.  30,  1849,  Mrs.  Sarah  E.  (Reed)  Cutler,  b.  Sept.  30, 
1828.  He  resided  at  home  in  Londonderry  imtil  he  was  20  years  of  age,  when  he 
went  to  Boston,  where  he  \vas  first  engaged  in  the  construction  of  wharves,  and 
short!}'  afterwards  turned  his  attention  to  cooperage.  Later  brick  manufacturing 
and  operations  in  real  estate  occupied  most  of  his  time  and  attention.  However, 
he  found  time  to  successfully  operate  a  quarry  and  till  a  large  acreage  for  farm  pur- 
poses. Before  Somerville  became  a  city  he  was  for  a  number  of  years  one  of  its 
selectmen  and  prominent  in  its  aftairs.  He  was  one  of  the  heaviest  tax  payers, 
as  his  interests  in  real  estate  were  large.  Being  too  old  he  was  not  drafted,  but 
paid  a  man  ^500  to  serve  in  the  army  at  the  time  of  the  late  war.  One  fact  occurs 
as  being  important:  He  owned  the  patent  and  built  the  first  kiln  for  the  man- 
ufacture of  bricks  with  one  side  glazed  or  marbleized.  Bricks  so  treated  are  in 
quite  general  use  today.  Gen.  James  Dana  and  he  owned  and  developed  a  large 
part  of  the  northeasterly  side  of  Somerville.  He  was  abstemious,  honest,  frugal, 
of  intense  activity,  and  a  very  successful  man  of  business  in  those  days.  Fruit 
culture  was  his  hobby.     He  d.  Apr.  12,  1869;  res.  Somerville,  Mass.

Regis  Indians.  He  early  formed  a  determination  to  acquire  an  education,  though 
having  scarcely  any  means  as  regards  schools,  or  the  funds,  in  consequence  of  his 
fathcM'  not  being  able  to  provide  them  on  account  of  his  feeble  health.  Like  the 
"Bobbin  Boy,"  and  others,  he  succeeded  in  acquiring  an  excellent  education  and 
won  the  confidence  and  esteem  of  his  fellow  citizens  generally,  for  they  gave  him 
places  of  honor  and  trust.  He  commenced  school-teaching,  when  seventeen  years 
of  age;  practiced  law  in  the  courts  of  the  State;  has  been  Inspector  of  Schools,

Woodward.  He  entered  college  at  Princeton,  N.  J.,  in  the  winter  of  1846-47  and 
was  graduated  in  the  summer  of  1849.  His  graduation  was  followed  by  a  singular 
and  very  severe  and  protracted  illness,  unfitting  him  for  any  labor  for  three  years. 
In  the  autumn  of  1852  he  had  so  far  recovered  that  he  gradually  resumed  his  stud- 
ies, having  removed  in  the  meantime  to  Terre  Haute,  Ind.  He  was  licensed  to 
preach  in  the  spring  of  1854  and  immediately  took  charge  of  the  Presbyterian 
Church  at  Greencastle,  Ind.;  was  ordained  and  installed  a  year  later  and  continued 
in  this  pastorate  for  more  than  twenty  years.  He  received  the  degree  of  D.  D. 
from  the  State  University  of  Indiana.  He  was  for  some  years  president  of  the 
Indiana  Female  College.  Since  leaving  that  he  has  been  engaged  in  ministerial

Stevenson,  b.  Sept.  6,  1834.  Henry  W.  Fisk  was  the  youngest  son  of  Jonathan 
and  Susanna  (Williams)  Fisk,  and  was  born  at  Goshen,  Orange  County,  N.  Y. 
The  family  moved  to  Coshocton,  Ohio,  in  the  autumn  of  1834.  His  mother  died 
in  July,  1841.  Henry's  home  for  the  succeeding  eight  years  was  with  one  or  the 
other  of  his  sisters,  Mrs.  Esther  S.  Welsh  or  Mrs.  Georgiana  Burt.  In  Oct.,  1849, 
he  went  with  his  father  to  Terre  Haute,  Ind.,  where  he  spent  about  four  months 
as  a  clerk  in  a  grocery  store,  and  four  months  in  school,  after  which  he  entered 
the  shop  of  Barton  &  Co.,  as  an  apprentice,  to  learn  the  marble  cutting  trade. 
After  two  years  at  this  work  he  entered  Waveland  Academy  as  a  student.  Near 
the  close  of  his  second  year  at  this  institution  his  health  became  so  much  impaired 
as  to  necessitate  his  leaving  school  and  it  was  four  years  before  he  returned  to  it. 
A  part  of  this  time  was  spent  in  work  at  his  former  trade,  one  year  of  which  was 
in  Iowa,  at  Sigourney  and  Marion — this  was  the  year  1855.  In  the  spring  of  1856 
he  went  to  St.  Paul,  Minn.,  where  he  spent  six  months  at  the  same  work.  In 
Oct.,  1856,  he  returned  to  Indiana,  where  he  engaged  in  teaching  until  the  summer 
of  1858.  At  the  opening  of  the  fall  term  1858  he  re-entered  the  school,  then  Wave- 
land  Collegiate  Institute,  where  he  graduated  July  8,  1859,  receiving  the  degree  of 
B.  S.  In  Sept.  following  he  taught  in  the  public  schools  of  Paris,  111.,  and  after- 
ward in  Edgar  Academy  at  the  same  place.  From  there  he  went  to  the  Wave- 
land  (Ind.)  Institute  as  professor  of  mathematics.  In  the  fall  of  1861  he  took 
charge  of  Maple  Grove  Academy,  near  Vincennes,  Ind..  where  he  continued  for 
about  four  years.  In  the  fall  of  1864,  having  read  the  course  in  theology  under  the 
guidance  of  his  pastor.  Rev.  F.  R.  Morton,  and  passed  the  customary  examination, 
he  was  licensed  to  preach  by  the  Presbytery  of  Vincennes,  Sept.  10.  In  the  spring 
of  1865  he  took  charge  of  a  home  mission  field  with  headquarters  at  Petersburg, 
Ind.,  continuing  in  this  work  for  five  and  one-half  years,  when  failing  health 
necessitated  a  change.  In  the  fall  of  1870  he  took  charge  of  Beulah  Church.  Rock 
Island  County,  111.  After  nearly  two  years  in  this  charge  he  removed  to  Hamlet, 
Mercer  County,  111.,  becoming  pastor  of  Hamlet  and  Perryton  Churches.  He  con- 
tinued in  this  field  thirteen  years,  resigned,  and  in  Sept.,  1885,  was  called  to  the 
pastorate  of  Peniel  and  Millersburg  Churches;  he  remained  with  them  seven  years, 
when,  having  been  partially  disabled  by  the  grippe  and  compelled  to  seek  lighter 
work,  he  obtained  charge  of  the  Viola  (111.)  Church  and  moved  there  in  Oct.,  1892.

working  on  the  home  farm  summers.'  Soon  after  his  marriage  he  moved  to  Guil- 
ford, Vt.,  where  he  engaged  in  the  lumber  business.  On  the  death  of  his  younger 
brother,  Levi,  he  returned  to  the  old  home  in  Shelburne,  Mass.,  where  he  lived 
until  his  death,  Aug.  29,  1895.  He  took  great  pleasure  in  improving  the  place, 
erecting  modern  buildings  and  bringing  the  land  under  a  high  state  of  cultivation;

affairs.  An  obituary  notice  says:  "Of  quiet  demeanor,  yet  force  of  character,  his  in- 
fluence was  a  potent  factor  in  the  history  of  the  town.  He  was  self  reliant  and 
could  not  by  fear  or  flattery  be  swerved  from  principle.  He  was  sincere,  con- 
scientious, reliable.  His  word  was  as  good  as  his  bond.  In  home  life  he  was 
genial,  pleasant,  kindly;  as  a  citizen,  large  minded,  public  spirited."  He  d.  Aug.

He  had  an  attack  of  typhoid  fever  in  Mar.,  and  came  near  to

he  seemed  to  improve  for  a  time,  but  when  he  returned  to  Bur-

William,  William,  Jrhn,  William,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Symond),  b, 
Waitsfield,  Vt.,  Feb.  i,  1842;  m.  there  Nov.  28,  1876,  Lilian  A.  Ramsay,  b.  St.  Johns- 
bury,  Vt.,  July  28,  1852.  He  received  his  education  at  the  common  schools  and  at 
Barre  (Vt.)  Academy.  His  student  life  was  cut  short  by  the  war,  however.  He  enlisted 
as  private  in  Company  B,  Thirteenth  Vermont  Regiment.  At  the  battle  of  Gettys- 
burg, under  Gen.  Stannard,  he  took  part  with  the  Second  Vermont  Brigade  in 
movements  that  good  judges  pronounce  the  "turning  points"  of  this  battle,  which 
is  called  the  "turning  point"  of  the  war.  On  the  second  day  of  the  fight  when  the 
confederates  had  well  nigh  pierced  our  center,  the  Thirteenth  Vermont  was  called 
into  action  and  made  a  charge  against  a  brigade  of  the  enemy,  driving  it  back 
and  following  it  up  for  some  distance  and  capturing  many  prisoners  although 
the  regiment  was  unsupported  on  either  flank.  Mr.  Fisk  was  slightly  wounded  in 
this  charge  but  did  not  leave  the  field,  and  the  next  day  took  part  in  the  famous 
movement  of  Gen.  Stannard's  troops  when  they  fell  upon  the  flank  of  Gen.  Pickett's 
advancing  column  and  completed  its  discomfiture.  Soon  after  this  battle  Mr.  Fisk 
had  an  attack  of  typhoid  fever  which  nearly  cost  him  his  life  and  left  him  unfitted 
for  further  army  service.  He  settled  upon  the  old  homestead  in  Waitsfield  and 
cared  for  his  parents  in  their  declining  years.  He  has  held  several  important  offices 
in  his  native  town,  with  acceptance.  He  was  chosen  deacon  of  the  Congregational 
Church  at  the  age  of  24,  which  ofifice  he  still  holds.  He  has  frequently  written 
acceptable  articles  for  the  press,  especially  upon  agricultural  and  Grand  Army  top- 
ics; res.  Waitsfield,  Vt.

was  born  on  his  father's  farm,  in  Fayette,  Me.,  Feb.  lo,  1829.     His  family  failing, 

his  boyhood  life  was  one  of  hard  work,  with  little  education.  At  21  he  was  em- 
ployed in  a  mill  yard  at  Manchester,  N.  H.,  at  75  cents  a  day,  working  twelve  hours 
at  very  hard  work,  out  of  which  he  paid  board  and  expenses.  After  working  in 
the  mill  yard,  in  a  hotel  and  family,  he  returned  to  Maine;  attended  a  private  school 
eight  weeks,  the  Maine  Wesleyan  Seminary  twenty-three  weeks,  and  the  Waterville 
Academy  fifteen  weeks,  working  on  a  farm  and  teaching  during  vacations.  He 
was  compelled  to  use  rigid  economy,  and  for  thirteen  weeks  carried  his  week's 
provision  in  a  basket  on  his  arm,  while  at  the  Wesleyan  Seminary,  and  lived  during 
two  terms  at  the  Waterville  Academy  on  crackers,  West  India  molasses  and  cold 
water,  six  days  out  of  seven,  and  for  a  rarity  had  baked  meat  and  beans,  coffee  and 
brown  bread  for  Sundays.  Hard  work,  hard  study,  the  sudden  change  from  school 
to  hard  work  and  from  hard  work  to  school,  began  to  undermine  his  health,  and  in 
1852  he  came  to  Mt.  Pulaski,  111.,  and  after  peddling  books  awhile,  he  taught 
school  until  Apr.,  1857,  when  he  came  to  Lincoln,  111.,  to  complete  his  law  studies 
(which  he  had  commenced  while  teaching),  at  the  same  time  writing  in  the  office 
of  the  clerk  of  the  courts.  In  Nov.,  1857,  he  was  elected  Justice  of  the  Peace, 
which  office  had  yielded  his  predecessor  $350  per  year.  He  was  appointed  notary 
public  in  1857,  which  office  he  has  held  for  thirty-eight  years,  and  was  admitted  to 
the  bar  of  the  State  of  Illinois,  in  1858.  In  four  years  his  office  of  Justice  of 
the  Peace  and  his  other  business  yielded  him  over  $7,000,  which  laid  the  founda- 
tion for  a  competence.  His  next  move  in  life  was  a  great  sacrifice  in  health  and 
financial  success.  In  Aug.,  1861,  he  entered  the  service  as  First  Lieut.,  in  Com- 
pany H.,  Fourth  Regiment  of  Cavalry,  Illinois  Volunteers.;  was  promoted  to 
Captain,  July  i,  1862;  appointed  Lieutenant-Colonel  of  the  Third  United  States  Col- 
ored Cavalry,  by  the  President,  in  1864,  but  declined  and  was  mustered  out  of  ser- 
vice in  Nov.,  1864,  after  serving  three  years  and  three  months,  his  health  having 
been  completely  broken  down  by  the  hardships  of  the  service.  He  returned 
to  Lincoln,  where  he  has  since  resided.  During  his  service,  he  took  part  in  the 
capture  of  Fort  Henry,  Fort  Donelson,  the  battle  of  Shiloh,  siege  of  Corinth, 
advance  into  Mississippi  under  Grant,  and  many  other  sharp  engagements.  At 
Fort  Henry,  Lieutenant-Colonel  McCollough,  his  commander,  with  150  men, 
marched  to  the  rear  of  the  fort;  the  garrison,  except  those  at  the  water-battery, 
fled  up  the  river.  McCoJlough  entered  the  fort;  about  twenty  men  under  the  Cap- 
tain of  Company  H  went  to  the  water-battery,  while  McCollough  (Fisk  in  com- 
mand of  Company  H.)  charged  the  retreating  rebels,  over  2,000  strong;  stampeded 
them;  chased  them  ten  miles,  capturing  all  their  cannon,  baggage  and  rear  guard. 
This  taught  Captain  Fisk  to  fight  his  cavalry  with  a  dash  and  desperation. 
Three  incidents  we  will  relate.  Nov.  30,  1862,  he  was  ordered,  with  his  command 
of  125  dismounted  men  to  develop  the  enemy,  who  were  in  a  thicket.  Amoving  in 
line  to  within  close  range,  he  ordered  the  men  to  hold  their  fire  and  charged  the 
thicket.  The  enemy  gave  a  volley,  but  with  a  yell  Fisk's  men  dashed  on,  stam- 
peded the  rebels,  who  fled.  The  rebels  proved  to  be  a  Texan  regiment  of  450  in- 
fantry. The  Texan  Colonel  said  he  had  believed  one  Southerner  could  whip  three 
"Yankees,"  but  he  found  one  Yankee  could  whip  three  Texans.  In  May,  1863, 
with  twenty  men,  half  raw  recruits,  he  suddenly  met  eighteen  picked  rebels.  Fisk 
instantly  ordered  the  charge,  stampeded  them,  and  captured  five.  Aug.  8,  1864,  in 
Concordia  Parish,  La.,  300  Texas  rebels  were  about  to  surround  forty  of  his  regi- 
ment. With  sixty  men  he  galloped  in  column  to  close  range,  deployed  in  line  at 
a  gallop,  ordered  his  men  to  hold  tlieir  fire  for  close  quarters,  and  charged  without 
halting.  The  onslaught  was  so  sudden,  the  rebels  fled.  His  instructions  to  his 
rnen  were:  'Tf  you  are  ever  in  close  quarters,  with  nine  chances  of  death,  and  one 
to  escape,  take  the  tenth  chance  and  you  will  escape."  Following  these  instruc- 
tions, although  many  times  in  close  quarters,  he  never  had  a  man  captured.  His 
discipline  over  and  kindness  to  his  men  were  noted.  But  one  man  under  his  com- 
mand deserted,  although  twenty-eight  of  his  men  deserted  while  under  the  com- 
mand of  his  successor.  He  received  an  honorable  mention  in  Davidson  and 
Stuvee's  "History  of  Illinois"  for  a  reconnoissance  on  the  flank  of  the  enemy  at  the 
battle  of  Shiloh.  In  1865  he  was  elected  a  member  of  the  first  city  council  of 
Lincoln,  and  served  as  chairman  of  the  finance  committee,  and  the  other  most 
important  committees.  In  1867  he  was  elected  Justice  of  the  Peace  for  four 
years.  Finding  his  health  would  not  permit  a  general  practice  of  the  law.  he,  in 
1866,  opened  a  real  estate  and  counsellor-at-law  office,  which  vocation  he  has  fol-

lowed  to  the  present  time.  He  married  Miss  Ellen  M.  Wakefield,  daughter  of  Na- 
than B.  and  Ruth  (Leffingwell)  Wakefield,  of  Kingsville,  Ohio,  by  whom  he  has  two 
children,  Ruth  Melenda,  and  Franklin,  Jr.  He  is  giving  his  children  a  liberal 
education,  of  which  he  was  denied,  his  daughter  having  taken  graduate  and  post- 
graduate courses  and  a  course  in  music,  and  his  son  entering  college  as  freshman, 
at  i6.  In  politics,  he  was  a  conservative  Whig,  up  to  1856,  when  being  an  eye- 
witness to  the  United  States  Marshal's  border  ruffian  posse's  acts  at  Lawrence, 
Kan.,  he  became,  and  remained,  a  stanch  Republican.  His  religious  motto  is: 
"Do  right  in  all  things,  and  trust  God  for  the  result."    Res.  Lincoln,  111.

Mathews  Bradley,  b.  May  18,  1831.  John  Brad- 
ley was  a  native  of  Cheshire,  Conn.  The  ances- 
tors of  the  Connecticut  Bradleys  appear  to  have 
lieen  William  and  Isaac,  both  of  whom  settled  in 
New  Haven,  the  former  in  1645,  the  latter 
(spelled  Bradlee)  in  1683,  having  stopped  some 
time  in  Bradford,  Mass.  Both  families  have 
numerous  descendants.  Savage  says  twenty- 
three  of  this  name  had  graduated  at  N.  E.  col- 
leges before  1835.  Col.  John  Bradley  was  born  in 
Cheshire,  Conn.,  in  1793.  His  parents  were 
Bradley  and  Susan  Mathews.  Their  chil- 
dren were  John,  Susan,  Esther,  and  Roxana. 
(  ol.  Bradley  entered  the  military  service  of  the 
L'nited  States  during  the  war  of  1812,  and  for 
meritorious  conduct  was  promoted  to  the  rank 
I  if  Captain  in  the  regular  army.  He  was  for 
.^ome  time  in  command  of  the  military  force 
>tationed  at  Fort  Dearborn,  Chicago.  In  1837 
he  retired  from  the  service,  having  previously 
married  Miss  Sarah  Brown,  of  Brownville,  N. 
Y.,  in  which  place  he  settled,  engaged  in  busi- 
ness, and  acquired  property.  Upon  the  election  of  Hon.  Wm.  H.  Seward  as  Oov- 
ernor  of  New  York,  he  was  offered  and  accepted  a  position  on  his  stafif,  with  the 
rank  of  Colonel. 

Rev.  Dr.  William  Allen  Fiske  was  graduated  at  the  Episcopal  Theological 
Seminary  in  the  City  of  New  Y'ork,  in  1849.  On  Sept.  22,  1852,  he  was  married  to 
Susan  Mathews  Bradley,  daughter  of  Col.  John  and  Sarah  Bradley,  of  Browns- 
ville, N.  Y.  In  Nov.,  1849,  he  was  appointed  missionary  to  Theresa  and  Redwood, 
Jeflferson  county,  New  York,  where  he  remained  two  years  and  three  months, 
built  churches  and  gathered  in  congregations.  In  Jan.,  1852,  he  was  called  to 
the  rectorship  of  St.  Stephen's  Church,  New  Hartford,  N.  Y.  There  he  remained 
two  years  and  later  obtained  a  parsonage  for  the  church.  In  1854  he  was  called 
to  Lyons,  N.  Y.,  where  he  remained  five  years.  In  1859  he  was  called  to  Orace 
Church,  Cleveland,  O.  He  was  called  to  St.  Paul's  Church,  Cincinnati,  O.,  in  the 
winter  of  1865-6.  He  built  up  this  parish,  until  it  was  the  largest  in  the  diocese 
of  Ohio;  but  his  health  failed  in  1874,  and  he  then  gave  up  the  parish,  and  re- 
tired for  about  a  year  to  his  farm  in  Indiana,  near  Rei.  His  health  improved 
considerably  here,  so  that  he  was  able,  in  1875,  to  accept  a  call  to  the  rectorship 
of  St.  John's  Church  in  Quincy,  111.  In  1876  he  became  rector  of  St.  John's 
parish,  Naperville,  111.,  where  he  remained  for  four  years,  increasing  largely  the 
parish  membership  and  doubling  the  size  of  the  church  edifice.  While  residing 
here  the  Northwestern  College  conferred  the  degree  of  LL.D.  on  him.  In  1881  he 
was  called  to  the  rectorship  of  St.  John's  Church,  Bangor,  Me.,  where  he  remained

until  1886.  He  was  now  61  years  old,  and  he  gave  up  the  parish  and  went  to 
Boston,  where  he  Hved  for  about  a  year,  doing  hght  work  in  filling  occasional  pul- 
pits. In  1887  he  and  his  wife  went  to  Brooklyn,  to  be  near  their  children;  and 
for  three  years  he  assisted  the  bishop  and  archdeacon  in  missionary  work  among 
the  struggling  parishes  in  the  growing  parts  of  the  city.  In  1890  he  was  called 
as  rector  of  St.  Andrew's  parish,  Brooklyn;  and  though  he  was  65  years  old,  he 
undertook  the  work,  and  pushed  it  ahead  with  extraordinary  vigor.  Not  content 
with  merely  enlarging  the  parish  as  it  was,  he  determined,  after  he  had  made 
the  congregation  too  large  for  the  edifice,  to  purchase  land,  and  build  a  church 
and  chapel  on  a  scale  commensurate  with  the  future  which  he  foresaw  to  be 
certain  for  that  part  of  Brooklyn.  He  succeeded  in  his  self-allotted  task,  aided  in 
every  way  by  the  devotion  of  his  wife  and  his  youngest  son,  John,  and  actually 
bought  the  ground  and  superintended  the  designs  for  the  church  and  chapel. 
But  he  overtaxed  his  strength,  and  did  not  live  to  see  the  completion  of  the  work 
that  crowned  his  latter  days.  He  died  on  the  12th  of  March,  1894;  died  in  the 
harness,  as  he  always  wished  to  do,  died  in  the  very  midst  of  his  work,  died  in 
the  fullness  of  years;  and  the  new  St.  Andrews  Church  is  a  lasting  monument. 
He  lived  a  noble  and  useful  life;  his  aims  were  always  pure  and  lofty;  his  ideals 
were  exalted;  he  lived  for  others  more  than  for  himself,  and  he  died  for  his 
Master,  whom  he  had  so  long  and  so  devotedly  served.  In  a  publication,  "The 
Bishop's  Address,"  in  a  lengthy  obituary  of  Dr.  Fiske,  it  is  said:  "Though  in 
declining  health  for  some  months,  his  death  at  last  was  a  surprise  to  his  family 
and  his  ^people.  It  might  be  enough  to  say  of  him,  in  his  somewhat  secluded 
ministry  and  in  his  young  and  struggling  parish,  that  he  was  a  good  pastor  and  a 
faithful  preacher,  and  as  such  gave  himself  largely  to  the  task  of  thoroughly 
grounding  his  flock  upon  the  principles  of  the  church's  faith  and  order.  He 
worked  with  a  cheerful  faith  and  undaunted  courage  which,  under  God,  are  al- 
ways the  sure  pledges  of  ultimate  triumph.  Others  will  enter  into  his  labors  and 
build  on  his  foundations;  but  let  us  hope,  it  will  be  with  an  unfailing  memory  of 
the  debt  of  gratitude  which  St.  Andrew's  parish  owes  to  its  first  rector."  He  d.

with  seven  years  in  New  England,  prevent  him  from 
being  at  all  narrow.  He  nevertheless  remembers  that  he  is  an 
Ohio  man  and  will  doubtless  use  this  for  all  he  is  worth  when 
occasion  arises.  While  in  Bangor,  Me.,  where  he  moved  with 
his  father,  in  1880,  he  studied  law  with  Peregrine  White  an 
Hon.  Frederick  M.  Laughton,  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar 
in  1884,  and  for  two  years  practiced  law  there  and  argued  a 
case  in  appeal  before  the  full  bench  in  1885,  in  Trainor  vs.  Mor- 
rison, 78  Maine,  160,  where  the  opposing  counsel  was  an  ex- 
Governor  of  the  State.  Strange  to  say,  he  was  beaten,  but  his 
contention  as  to  the  powers  of  traveling  salesmen  has  since 
become  recognized  as  the  law.  Becoming  convinced  that  a 
law  school  course  was  a  proper  one  to  fit  a  lawyer  for  his  pro- 
fession, he  took  the  three  years'  course  at  the  Boston  Uni- 
versity Law  School  in  one  year,  and  graduated  among  the 
first  ten  in  his  class,  receiving  his  degree  magna  cum  laude    in

the  I\ew  York  bar,  and  acted  as  managing  clerk  for  Hon   Peter 
B.  Olney    Messrs.   Kelly  &  Mackae,   Cravath  &  Houston  and 
Hays  &  Greenbaum.     Since  1893  he  has  been  connected  with 
the  firm  of   Messrs.  Evarts,  Choate  &  Beaman,  52  Wall  St.   New 
York  City,  and  is  the  assistant  of  Hon.   Charles   C.   Beaman 
who  headed  the  reform  ticket  in  1895  as  candidate  for  Justice  of 
the  Supreme  Court  of  the  State  of  New  York.     Mr.  Fiske  is 
also  attending  to  the  legal  wants  of  South  Brooklyn,  where  he 
resides.     He   always,    since   a   lad,    evinced   a   strong   love    for 
music,  and  as  a  boy  soprano  won  considerable  attention.    When 
in  Bangor  he  sang  tenor  in  the  quartette  choir  at  his  father's 
cliurch,  and  was  quite  prominent  in  the  councils  of  the  Cecilia 
Club,  a  local  musical  society.     He  studied  the  voice  for  three 
years  under  J.  C.  Bartlett  and  Clarence  A.  Marshall,  of  Boston 
and  while  at  Law  School  sang  at  St.  Paul's  Church.     Coming 
to  New  \ork  he  sang  for  over  a  year  in  Trinity  Church,  and 
afterwards  held  solo  positions  in  Calvary  Church,  New  York 
and  Trinity,  Hoboken.     His  father's  health  commencing  to  fail 
in  the  tall  of  1893,  he  deemed  it  his  duty  to  take  charge  of 
the  choir  of  St.    Andrew's   Church,    Brooklyn,    of   which   his 
lather   was    rector,    and    otherwise    sustain    him    in    his    work. 
1  his  move  proved  a  very  wise  one,  as  the  revival  of  the  choir 
invigorated   the   energies   of  the   parish,   and   kept   the   work 
going  on  during  his  father's 
illness,    so   that   at   his   death 
the    people     of    the    church 
united    with    his    son    in    the 
work     of     building     a     new 
church  edifice.     Mr.  Fiske  is 
a    trustee    of    St.    Andrew's 
parish,  and  a  delegate  to  the 
diocesan    convention,    where 
he  is  a  member  of  the  stand- 
ing committee  on  the  incor- 
poration    of     new     parishes. 
He  is  treasurer  of  the  local 
Y.  M.  C.  A.,  and  represents

iam,  Symond),  b.  Troy,  N.  Y.,  Nov.  i,  1828;  m.  Nov.  23,  1859,  Amelia 
Goodyear.  Rev.  Albert  Augustus  Fiske,  third  son  of  Allen  and  Eliza 
Fiske,  was  born  in  Troy,  N.  Y.  The  youngest  of  the  brothers,  the  first  fif- 
teen years  of  his  life  was  spent  with  his  father,  a  student  most  of  that  time  in  his 
school,  and  fitted  under  his  excellent  training  to  enter  upon  an  advanced  collegiate 
course  at  the  age  of  16.  Such  had  been  his  early  purpose,  but  overruled  by  what 
was  then  deemed  to  be  wiser  counsels,  he  was  persuajded  to  betake  himself  to  the 
more  practical  training  of  the  printing  ofifice,  which  he  did,  in  the  winter  of  1844-5, 
at  Auburn,  N.  Y.,  in  the  office  of  the  Northern  Christian  Advocate,  an  organ  of  the 
M.  E.  Church,  of  extensive  circulation.  After  serving  his  apprenticeship  in  this 
establishment,  in  the  fall  of  1847  he  returned  to  his  native  city,  and  soon  afterward 
commenced,  in  connection  with  his  father,  the  publication  of  a  weekly  newspaper, 
called  the  Family  Journal.  In  the  fall  of  1848  his  brother,  David  E.,  from  Am- 
herst, joined  them,  and  proved  a  most  etiticient  ally.  From  this  time  onward,  for 
more  than  twelve  years,  the  Family  Journal  prospered,  both  in  means  and  influence, 
recognized  by  its  many  tiiousands  of  readers,  and  by  its  contemporaries,  as  an 
able,  popular,  and  influential  newspaper,  which  result  was  largely  due  to  the 
gifted  pen  of  its  principal  editor,  Allen  Fiske,  Esq.  In  1854,  David,  and 
shortly  afterward  his  father,  severally  retired  from  the  concern,  and  soon  the 
publication  of  "Fiske's  Family  Journal"  was  brought  to  a  close.  Albert  A. 
Fiske  married  Miss  Amelia,  the  accomplished  daugiiter  of  Rev.  George  Good- 
year, of  Temple,  N.  H.,  and  in  the  summer  of  1862  they  removed  to  Chicago, 
111.,  where  shortly  afterwards  Mr.  Fiske  began  the  preparation  and  compilation 
of  materials  for  a  genealogical  work,  which  was  finally  completed  and  published 
in  1867,  entitled:  "A  History  of  the  Family  (ancestral  and  descendant),  of  Will- 
iam Fiske,  Sr.,  of  Amherst,  N.  H."  with  brief  notices  of  other  branches  springing 
from  the  same  stock.  This  was  the  first  attempt  -to  publish  a  work  on  the  Fiske 
genealogy  in  this  country,  and  though  the  details  mostly  concerned  certain 
branches  descended  from  the  Wenham  Fiskes,  yet  so  comprehensive  was  its  view, 
that  it  has  probably  served  as  the  nucleus  of  this  larger  and  more  elaborate  work* 
In  1864-5  Mr.  Fiske  began  his  preparation  for  holy  orders  in  the  Protestant 
Episcopal  Church,  and  in  1869  he  graduated  from  the  Nashotan  Theological 
Seminary,  Wisconsin.  On  Trinity  Sunday  of  that  year  he  was  ordained  to  the 
diaconate  by  Bishop  Whitehouse,  and  in  November  following  was  called  to  the 
rectorship  of  Zion  Church.  Oconomowoc,  where  he  was  advanced  to  the  priest- 
hood by  Bishop  Kemper,  of  saintly  memor}-,  in  the  spring  of  1870.  He  remained 
for  several  years  there,  and  was  greatly  prospered  in  his  work.  In  1875  he  re- 
signed his  charge  tc  give  his  invalid  wife  the  benefit  of  a  change  of  climate.  In 
1876  he  returned  to  Chicago,  and  took  missionary  service  for  awhile  under  Bishop 
McLaren.  In  Jan.,  1877,  he  was  called  to  Christ  Church,  Harvard,  111.,  where  in 
1881,  he  built  a  new  and  beautiful  house  of  worship,  and  presented  it  to  the  dio- 
cese all  paid  for.  He  continued  in  charge,  serving  the  people  most  acceptably, 
until  Easter,  1886,  when  he  was  called  to  St.  Paul's  Church,  Austin,  111.,  a  suburb 
of  Chicago,  where  he  remained  about  six  years.  In  this  field  also  he  was  signally 
successful,  the  membership  of  the  church  increasing  threefold,  but  his  health  fail- 
ing, he  resigned  in  the  fall  of  1892,  in  order  to  secure  much  needed  rest.  In  Nov., 
1895,  he  was  recalled  to  the  church  in  Harvard,  where  he  now  resides,  respected 
and  beloved  by  the  people.  Several  of  Mr.  Fiske's  sermons  have  been  pub- 
lished by  request,  and  received  flattering  commendation  from  the  Church  Press. 
Although  serving  continuously  in  the  ministry  for  over  twenty-five  years,  Mr. 
Fiske  has  had  but  three  parishes  during  that  time,  and  is  pleasantly  remembered  in 
them  all.  A  very  valuable  heirloom  came  into  the  possession  of  Rev.  A.A. 
Fiske.  on  the  death  of  his  uncle,  David  Fiske,   Esq.,  of  Amherst.     It  is  an  old 

*The  compiler,  as  stated  in  the  introduction,  expresses  his  appreciation  of  the  valuable 
assistance  rendered  by  the  work  of  Rev.  A.  A.  Fiske.  When  his  book  was  compiled  it  was  in- 
dfed  a  most  difQcult  task.  But  few  town  histories  and  genealogies  had  then  been  printed  and 
nearly  everyone  was  diffident  and  indifferent  as  to  their  origin.  A  friend  writing  of  Mr.  Fiske 
says:  "It  would  be  entirely  just  and  proper  to  recognize  in  some  fitting  way  the  fact  of  obligation 
Vt  one  who,  as  pioneer,  had  'blazed  the  way'  thro'  the  trackless  jungle  where  reposed  the 
ashes  of  buried  generations.  The  fathers  took  little  pains  to  keep  track  of  their  kindred  in 
their  migrations  and  ever  widening  groups  of  descent.  It  is  only  with  a  truer  appreciation 
of  its  value  that  an  interest  in  genealogical  matters  has  revived.  Hence  the  difficulty  in  this 
country  of  compiling  a  general  family  history.  It  is  a  big  job,  as  he  happened  to  know,  for 
'he  spent  the  best  part  of  two  years  at  it  and  considerable  money  without  pecuniary  reward. 
Doubtless  what  he  did  has  been  some  help  to  you."

English  clock,  of  large  dimensions  and  superior  workmanship,  which  undoubted- 
ly belonged  originally  to  the  Wenham  Fiskes,  as  far  back  as  the  beginning  of  the 
last  century  (1700),  as  it  is  distinctly  mentioned  in  testamentary  documents  signed 
by  Dea.  Ebenezer  Fiske,  of  date  1764,  and  described  as  his  "old  clock,"  which 
came  to  him  along  with  the  homestead,  from  his  father,  Dea.  William,  whose  will 
was  probated  1725.  As  Dea.  William,  of  Wenham,  was  the  sole  legatee  of  Will- 
iam the  emigrant,  it  probably  was  bequeathed  to  him  as  part  of  his  marriage 
portion  (1662).  There  can  be  no  question  as  to  the  venerable  age  of  this  clock, 
for  its  works  are  of  chilled  brass,  harder  than  the  hardest  steel,  and  the  process 
of  such  rare  alchemy  became  a  lost  art  a  long  while  ago.  It  is  perfectly  safe  to 
say  that  this  clock  is  at  least  150  years  old,  for  in  1764  it  was  spoken  of  as  an 
old  English  timepiece;  was  willed  at  that  date  by  Ebenezer  Fiske  to  his  son 
William;  was  brought  to  Amherst  from  Wenham  in  1771,  and  for  ninety  years 
stood  in  the  mansion  of  Hon.  William  Fiske,  firmly  bolted  against  the  oaken 
crossbeams.     It  is  an  excellent  timepiece  even  now,  and  is  greatly  prized. 

Rev.  George  Goodyear,  of  Temple,  N.  H.,  was  a  lineal  descendant  of  Hon. 
Stephen  Goodyear,  who  came  to  this  country  in  1630,  and  was  descended  from  an 
ancient  English  family  of  that  name,  entitled  to  coat  armor  as  appears  by  a  royal 
grant  dated  1569.  In  the  records  of  the  Herald  Ofhce,  it  is  thus  described:

He  then  entered  the  classical  department  of  the 
Phillips  Academy  and  completed  the  preparatory

from  Arnherst  College  in  1848,  and  from  Andover  Theological  Seminary  in  1851, 
after  which  he  returned  to  Amherst  College  as  tutor  for  three  years.  He  then 
passed  more  than  a  year  in  extensive  travels  in  Europe,  Egypt,  Syria  and  Turkey. 
In  1857  he  was  installed  pastor  of  the  Congregational  Church  in  Madison,  Conn., 
and  this  relationship  continued  until  his  death.  In  1862  he  enlisted  as  private  in 
the  Fourteenth  Connecticut  Volunteers,  but  received  the  commission  of  Second 
Lieutenant  in  Company  G  before  leaving  Hartford  in  August.  (The  Fourteenth 
Regiment  Connecticut  Volunteers  served  in  the  Second  army  corps  to  the  close  of 
war.  Mr.  Fiske  took  with  him  a  large  number  of  young  men  from  his  parish.) 
In  December  he  was  promoted  to  First  Lieutenant,  and  in  the  following  month  to 
Captain.  During  the  spring  and  summer  of  1863  he  was  Acting  Assistant  Inspector 
General  on  the  staffs  of  Gen.  Carroll  and  Gen.  Alexander  Hayes,  of  the  Third 
Divison,  Second  Corps.  During  the  battle  of  Chancellorsville,  May  3,  he  was  cap- 
tured and  taken  to  Libby  Prison.  In  June  he  was  exchanged  and  returned  to  camp. 
(In  September,  at  his  own  request,  he  again  took  command  of  Company  G.)  He 
distinguished  himself  in  several  battles.  He  received  a  fatal  wound  in  the  battle 
of  the  Wilderness,  May  6,  1864,  while  at  the  head  of  his  company,  and  died  in 
Fredericksburg  on  May  22.  During  the  time  he  was  abroad,  and  also  while  in  the 
army,  he  was  a  correspondent  of  the  Springfield  Republican  under  the  nom  de 
plume  of  Dunn  Browne,  and  the  letters  were  afterward  republished  in  the  volumes 
"Dunn  Browne  Abroad"  and  "Dunn  Browne  in  the  Army."  He  d.  May  22,  1864;

from  Amherst  College  in  1884,  and  from  Hartford  Theological 
Seminary  in  1887.  Took  a  high  position  as  a  scholar  in  col- 
lege, and  won  the  fellowship  in  the  seminary.  By  advice 
of  the  faculty  spent  three  years  in  the  University  of  Berlin, 
studying  oriental  languages,  specially  Arabic.  Was  ready  to 
return  and  enter  upon  a  professorship  at  Hartford  when  his 
health,  which  by  constant  study  had  been  seriously  impaired, 
suddenly  failed,  and  he  died  at  the  age  of  29.  As  a  lad  he  was 
deeply  interested  in  ornithology.  While  in  college  he  had 
charge  of  the  ornithological  collection,  arranging  and  classi- 
fying it,  and  adding  sixty-seven  varieties  to  the  number.  Many 
of  his  drawings  of  birds  and  eggs  were  published  by  the  Smith- 
sonian Institute,  and  were  helpful  in  settling  some  disputed 
points  in  New  England  ornithology.  While  in  the  seminary 
he  made  a  Hebrew  vocabulary  of  the  Psalms.  His  proficiency 
in  Arabic  was  very  marked,  and  he  left  extensive  translations 
from  the  literature  of  that  people.  He  was  interesting  and  in- 
structive as  a  preacher,  but  important  offered  pulpits  failed  to 
lure  him  from  his  chosen  course.  Through  native  gifts  and  high 
attainments  a  promising  career  was  open  before  him.  "Fleb- 
ilis  multis  occidit,"  and  by  a  wide  circle  his  death  was  re- 
garded as  a  serious  loss  to  American  scholarship.  "He  was  an 
enthusiast  in  Christian  work  as  in  study.  He  was  an  artist 
in  soul,  as  well  as  with  pencil,  pen,  and  brush;  a  student  of 
architecture,  a  keen  naturalist,  proficient  especially  in  ornithol- 
ogy. In  the  vacations  of  his  theological  course,  he  had  won  an  en- 
viable reputation  as  writer,  speaker  and  preacher,  and  important 
pulpits  had  been  open  for  his  pastorial  charge.  He  turned,

however,  from  all  such  offers,  in  his  zeal  for  the  highest 
Christian  scholarship.  The  Hebrew  Bible,  with  all  the  Orien- 
talism in  customs,  language,  literature,  and  monuments,  which 
should  interpret  and  illustrate  it,  was  his  chosen  field.  By 
special  advanced  studies  in  the  seminary  and  by  his  subsequent 
years  of  work  abroad  he  had  become  signally  equipped  for 
these  lines  of  instruction."

special  order  of  Gen.  Grant.     He  returned  to  civil  life  in  the  summer  of  1865;' en- 
tered at  once  on  the  pastorate  of  the  Second  Congregational  Church  of  Rockville, 
Conn.,  which  was  nearly  doubled  in  strength  in  the  course  of  a  five  years'  min- 
istry there;  was  called  thence  to  St.  Peters  Presbyterian  Church  of  Rochester,  N 
Y.,  m  1870;  the  church  grew  and  he  paid  off  an  old  debt  of  $30,000.    Then  he 'was  -A 

unexpectedly  called  to  the  Harva-r-d^  Church,  San  Francisco,  Cal.     In  that  city  he  H  '^ W^^ 
remamed  m  the  pastorate  of  the  Harvard  Street  Church  for  nine  years.    Thence  he 
was  called  to  the  pastorate  of  the  First  Church,  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  where  he  still  is      In 
the  war  times  with  Gen.  John  Eaton,  Jr.,  he  had  a  large  hand  in  organizing  freed-

pany of  soldiers;  built  two  log  house  towns  of  more  than  1,000  houses  each    and 
married  119  couples  in  half  an  hour.     He  was  sent  by  Gen.  Grant  to  Washirio-ton 
to  endeavor  to  prevent  the  transfer  of  freedmen's  affairs  to  a  civil  department  \nd 
to  keep  It  m  the  department  of  war.     Sumner's  bill  for  such  transfer  was  defeated 
and  the  Freedmen's  Bureau  was  organized  in  the  war  office  as  was  desired      He 
was  employed  afterward  by  the  Bureau  of  Education  to  visit  and  report  on  the

Europe  and  the  United  States,  and  to  examine  and  reoort  on  the  European  Na-

a  call  to  the  church  at  Rochester  and  as  it  was  anxious  for  his  immediate  service 
he  was  constrained  to  decline  so  inviting  an  appointment.     He  has  been  too  busy 
to  try  to  write  any  books.     A  good  many  sermons  and  addresses  on  various  occa-

shock  he  sustained  by  being  thrown  from  his  carriage  in  a  runaway  accident.  Mr. 
Fiske  accompanied  by  his  daughter  started  to  drive  from  their  home  to  Greenfield. 
The  horses  were  a  pair  of  lively  colts  which  had  given  some  trouble  before.  Mr. 
Fiske  was  driving.  When  near  the  Col.  Wells'  place  the  colts  became  frightened 
and  dashed  down  the  hill  at  a  lively  pace.  Mr.  Fiske  was  thrown  out  but  picked 
himself  up  apparently  uninjured  and  followed  the  team.  His  daughter  pluckily 
took  the  reins  and  after  going  some  distance  succeeded  in  reining  the  frightened 
animals  into  an  open  lot.  She  was  thrown  out  and  the  horses  stopped.  Mr. 
Fiske  came  up  and  saw  his  daughter  and  then  fell  to  the  ground,  dying  almost  in-

Mass.,  Apr.  15,  1816;  fitted  at  Day's  Academy  in  his  native  town  at  so  early  an  age 
that  it  was  not  deemed  advisable  for  him  to  enter  college  then,  so  he  taught  school 
for  a  year  or  so  and  then  entered  Amherst  College  from  which  he  graduated  in  1836 
and  received  his  A.  M.  in  1837,  after  which,  as  his  health  did  not  then  permit  of 
his  taking  a  theological  course,  he  at  once  engaged  in  teaching,  first  as  assistant  in 
Washington  Institute,  New  York  City,  then  in  Norwalk,  Conn.,  next  as  principal 
of  ]\Ionson  (Mass.)  Academy,  1833-34,  and  later  in  Fall  River,  Mass.  While  in 
Fall  River  his  wife  died  and  he  then  decided  to  enter  the  ministry  in  accordance 
with  his  original  plan,  and  much  to  the  regret  of  his  patrons  in  Fall  River  he  en- 
tered Yale  Theological  Seminary,  taking  the  full  course  from  1847  to  1850,  when 
he  entered  upon  the  work  of  the  ministry,  being  ordained  pastor  of  the  Congrega- 
tional Church  of  Ashburnham,  Mass.,  Dec.  30,  185 1,  where  he  remained  until  Apr. 
17,  1854,  when  he  resigned.  For  about  three  years,  from  November  16,  1854,  he 
was  pastor  of  the  Congregational  Church  in  East  Marshfield,  after  which  at  the 
solicitation  of  friends  he  resumed  his  former  occupation  of  teaching,  first  as  prin- 
cipal of  the  high  school  at  Clinton,  Mass.,  and  for  the  next  eight  years  as  princi- 
pal of  a  boys'  boarding  school  in  Newton,  Mass.,  which  grew  in  numbers  and 
popularity  under  his  care.  In  1865  on  account  of  a  severe  illness  his  physician 
insisted  upon  his  leaving  his  school  and  strongly  recommended  his  moving  at  once 
to  a  warmer  climate,  so  that  from  1865  to  1868  he  was  Superintendent  of  Education 
for  the  State  of  North  Carolina  under  the  Freedmen's  Bureau,  receiving  his  appoint- 
ment from  Gen.  O.  P.  Howard.  Having  now  regained  his  health  he  returned  to 
Massachusetts,  where  he  was  for  a  short  time  pastor  of  the  church  in  Raynham, 
Mass.  The  remainder  of  his  life  was  spent  in  the  service  of  the  Protestant  Epis- 
copal Church,  being  ordained  as  deacon  on  June  25,  1870,  and  as  priest  on  Nov.  5 
of  the  same  year.  From  July,  1870,  to  May,  1873,  he  was  rector  of  Trinity  Church, 
Van  Deusenville,  Mass.;  from  May,  1873,  to  Sept.,  1876,  rector  of  St.  Paul's  Church, 
Brookfield,  Conn.;  from  Sept.,  1876,  until  his  death  rector  of  Grace  Church,  North 
Attleboro,  Mass.,  which  joins  his  native  town.     He  died  of  nervous  prostration

induced  by  overwork  in  his  efforts  to  relieve  his  parish  from  a  load  of  pecuniary 
indebtedness,  but  not  until  he  had  raised  the  last  dollar.  His  bishop  (Paddock), 
who  officiated  at  his  funeral,  said  of  him  in  his  annual  address  to  the  convention  of 
1879,  as  follows:  "In  the  rectory  that  with  the  church  at  its  side  crowns  the  little 
knoll  of  an  ample  lot  in  a  pretty  villag*  of  Bristol  County,  one  of  our  best  rural 
pastors  lay  down  to  die  soon  after  he  had  given  God  thanks  for  the  good  example 
of  dear  Dr.  Wells.  This  man  coming  to  his  parish  two  years  before,  had  found  the 
wise  and  far-sighted  work  of  his  predecessor  burdened  with  such  honest,  but  par- 
tially unexpected  indebtedness  as  changed  times  had  brought  upon  many  of  the 
parishes  all  over  the  land.  The  time  came  last  autumn  when  about  $2,000  of  this 
indebtedness  must  be  raised  to  avert  disaster.  He  did  not  create  the  obligation; 
but  it  was  Christ's  cross  that  lay  athwart  his  path,  to  remove  it.  First  letting  it 
cost  himself  more,  perhaps,  than  he  would  expect  of  any  one  else,  he  then  roused  the 
hearts  of  all,  even  to  the  children,  of  his  ffock  and  they  responded  nobly.  Then 
strengthened  as  he  supposed  in  his  gentleness  and  modesty,  by  a  statement  and 
commendation  from  his  bishop,  he  went  from  door  to  door  in  Boston,  to  let  oth- 
ers bear  the  burden  with  him,  and  so  fulfill  the  law  of  Christ.  From  a  few  he 
received  refusals  which  pained  him;  from  a  few,  good  advice  against  parishes  get- 
ting into  debt;  from  others  modest  offerings  toward  his  longed-for  getting  out 
of  debt  and  saving  a  valuable  church  property.  Twice  he  broke  in  his  weary 
rounds;  but  at  last  he  succeeded  and  went  home  with  a  church  property  saved 
and  his  life  given  for  it."  After  a  few  weeks  of  exhaustion  and  suffering  the  Rev. 
Frederic  Augustus  Fiske,  rector  of  Grace  Church,  North  Attleboro,  died  Dec. 
15,  1878,  and  was  buried  by  one  and  other  brethren  amidst  a  town  full  of 
mourners.  He  was  a  man  of  manly  and  strong  piety,  clear  and  happy  in  his 
convictions  and  of  willing  and  unwearying  labor.  His  wife  and  son  Frederic 
Elisha  Fiske  survive  him.  He  d.  Dec.  15,  1878;  res.  New  Haven,  Conn.;  Ashburn-

Mass.,  Jan.  23,  1817;  m.  there  June  12,  1838,  Lydia  C.  Wood.  Mr.  Fisk  was  born 
at  Upton,  j\Iass.,  and  received  a  common  school  education.  At  the  age  of  six- 
teen he  entered  upon  his  business  career  by  accepting  a  clerkship.  He  married 
Lydia  C.  Wood,  and  soon  after  embarked  in  business  for  himself.  In  1853  Mr. 
Fisk  came  to  Chicago,  and  with  B.  M.  Fisk  and  J.  E.  L.  Eraser  opened  the  first 
millinery  house  in  Chicago  on  Wells  St.,  between  Lake  and  South  Water,  under 
the  now  familiar  firm  name  of  D.  B.  Fisk  &  Co.  The  business  continued  to 
grow  through  Mr.  Fisk's  energy,  until  it  became  the  largest  millinery  establish- 
ment in  the  world.  Mr.  Fisk  had  never  known  a  sick  day  until  about  three 
weeks  before  his  death  when  he  caught  a  bad  cold,  which  developed  into  bron- 
chitis. He  was  not,  however,  confined  to  his  home.  Nothing  serious  was  antici- 
pated imtil  a  short  time  before  he  died  when  a  decided  change  for  the  worse  oc- 
curred. He  became  unconscious  and  so  remained  until  death  came.  Mr.  Fisk 
was  a  lover  of  outdoor  sports,  and  a  member  of  the  Chicago,  Calumet  and  Wash- 
ington Park  Clubs,  yet  he  was  in  no  sense  a  club  man,  nor  was  he  what  is  known 
as  a  societ}^  man.  He  was  devoted  to  his  home,  and  there  were  very  few  pleas- 
ures that  could  draw  him  away  from  his  fireside.  The  remains  were  taken  from 
the  family  residence,  2100  Calumet  Ave.,  to  Rosehill,  for  burial.  None  but  the 
family  and  a  few  intimate  friends  were  present.  The  funeral  services  were  held 
at  the  residence.  Rev.  Thomas  C.  Hall,  pastor  of  the  41st  Street  Presbyterian 
Church,  officiating.  The  members  of  the  old  Tippecanoe  Club  were  present.  He

served  an  apprenticeship  to  a  druggist  in  Greenfield,  Mass.;  then  in  the  early 
fifties  he  went  south  as  traveling  agent  for  J.  C.  Ayer  Pill  Manufactory  of  Lowell, 
and  after  several  years  settled  in  Nacogdoches,  Tex.,  with  his  wife,  where  Harry 
was  born.  She  came  north  in  1859  with  her  baby  son,  and  the  second  child  was 
born  in  Upton.  His  store  was  seized  by  the  Confederate  army  and  he  was 
forced  into  the  ranks  as  a  surgeon;  was  captured  by  the  Federal  army  in  Red 
River,  and  was  in  prison  some  time;  finally  exchanged,  and  came  north  in  1865; 
lived  in  Upton  about  one  year;  then  he  moved  to  Springfield,  where  he  went 
into  the  publishing  business  (subscription  books),  D.  B.  Fisk  &  Co.  In  a  few 
years  went  into  the  grocery  business  on  North  Main  St.,  for  several  years,  then 
took  in  a  partner  who  took  him  in  and  did  him  up.  In  1874  went  to  Worcester 
and  took  charge  of  a  drug  store,  oldest  in  the  city;  remained  there  until  1891, 
when,  owing  to  ill  health  and  change  in  firm,  he  resigned,  and  did  nothing  until

1886.  He  studied  law,  but  after  a  long  and 
serious  illness  abandoned  the  profession 
and  entered  the  itinerant  ministry  in  1818, 
when  he  was  licensed  as  a  local  preacher 
in  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church.  He 
took  high  rank  as  a  pulpit  orator,  was  pas- 
tor for  two  years  in  Craftsbury,  Vt.,  and  in 
1819.  removed  to  Charlestown,  Mass.  At 
tlie  conference  of  1820  he  was  admitted  into 
full  membership,  ordained  as  a  deacon  in 
1822,  and  from  1823  till  1827  was  presiding 
elder  of  the  Vermont  district,  which  then 
comprised  the  whole  of  Vermont  east  of  the 
Green  Mountains.  He  was  placed  upon  the 
superannuated  list,  but  w^as  requested,  in  so 
far  as  health  would  allow,  to  act  as  agent 
for  Newmarket  Academy,  at  that  time  the 
only  Methodist  institution  in  New  England, 
dress  of  welcome  to  Lafayette  in  1824.  He 
was  also  a  delegate  to  the  general  con- 
ference in  that  year,  and  was  chosen  to 
write  the  address  to  the  British  conference. 
He  was  chaplain  of  the  Vermont  Legislature 
in  1826,  and  was  one  of  the  founders  and 
orincipal  of  the  Wesleyan  Academy  in  Wil- 
While  here  he  was  chosen  to  make  the  ad- 
braham,  Mass.,  1826-31,  and  a  delegate  to 
the  general  conference  of  1828,  when  he 
was  elected  bishop  of  the  Canada  conference  but  declined.  In  1829  he 
also  refused  the  presidency  of  La  Grange  College,  Alabama,  and  a  pro- 
fessorship in  the  University  of  Alabama.  In  1830  he  was  chosen  first  president  of 
the  Wesleyan  University,  in  whose  organization  he  had  materially  aided.  The 
duties  of  that  ofifice  were  entered  upon  in  1831 ;  the  institution  under  his  direction 
became  the  most  influential  of  any  in  the  Methodist  denomination  in  America. 
At  the  general  conference  in  1832  his  appeals  in  behalf  of  Indian  missions  resulted 
in  the  organization  of  the  Oregon  mission,  and  he  was  at  this  time  instrumental 
in  founding  Williamstown  Academy.  For  years  he  was  useful  to  educational  in- 
terests at  large  by  recommending  or  furnishing  professors  and  presidents  to  the 
rapidly  multiplying  colleges  of  the  far  west.  In  search  of  health,  he  passed  the 
winter  of  1835-6  in  Italy,  and  the  summer  of  1836  in  England,  when  he  also  repre- 
sented the  M.  E.  Church  of  the  Wesleyan  conference  as  a  delegate.  He  was 
elected  bishop  of  that  church  in  1836,  but  declined.     In  1839  he  became  a  member

of  the  board  of  education  of  Connecticut.  He  was  said  to  be  unsurpassed  in  elo- 
quence and  fervor  as  a  preacher,  and  was  often  compared  to  Fenelon,  being  en- 
dowed with  Hke  moral  and  mental  traits.  The  degree  of  D.  D.  was  conferred 
on  him  by  Augusta  College,  Kentucky,  in  1829,  and  LL.  D.  by  Brown  in  1835.  His 
published  works  are:  "Inaugural  Address"  (New  York,  1831);  "Calvinistic  Contro- 
versy" (1837);  "Travels  in  Europe"  (1838);  "Sermons  and  Lectures  on  Universal- 
ism:  Reply  to  Pierpont  on  the  Atonement,  and  other  Theological  and  Educa- 
tional Works  and  Sermons."  His  account  of  his  Europ'ean  travels  had  a  wide  cir- 
culation and  was  greatly  admired.  His  "Life  and  Writings"  were  published  by 
the  Rev.  Joseph  Holdich,  D.  D.  (New^  York,  1842).  He  d.  s.  p.,  Feb.  22,  1839;  res.

181 5,  in  Rutland,  Vt.  Among  the  truly  representative  men  of  St.  Lawrence  county, 
whose  life  and  character  entitle  them  to  record  on  the  pages  of  history,  was  the  late 
Orin  M.  Fisk,  Esq.,  who  during  his  life  deserved!}'  held  a  prominent  position  in 
the  community  in  which  he  lived.  He  was  born  in  De  Kalb,  N.  Y.,  Apr.  25,- 1807, 
and  after  a  brief  life  of  usefulness  died  at  his  home  in  De  Kalb,  Jan.  20,  1857,  much 
lamented  by  kindred  and  friends,  he  was  a  man  of  more  than  ordinary  ability  in 
all  the  vocations  of  life,  and  could  never  say  no  to  the  needy  and  destitute.  His 
adhesions  to  the  principles  of  honor  were  so  strong  that  nothing  could  break  them, 
and  money  would  not  tempt  him  to  do  a  wrong  act.  In  early  life  he  devoted  con- 
siderable time  to  teaching  and  bore  the  enviable  reputation  of  being  one  of  the 
finest  penman  in  St.  Lawrence  county,  consequently  under  the  earnest  solicitations 
of  the  various  school  districts  of  De  Kalb  he  gave  instructions  which  were  long 
cherished  by  those  who  were  so  fortunate  as  to  come  under  his  tuition.  In  later 
years  he  was  successful  in  doing  business  as  a  merchant  in  De  Kalb,  as  one  of  the 
firm  of  Fisk  &  Slosson;  still  later  he  opened  a  store  at  Cooper's  Falls.  At  the  or- 
ganization of  the  De  Kalb  works  at  this  place  he  was  chosen  as  its  head  man- 
ager, investing  $10,000  of  his  capital  towards  a  grist  mill,  which  was  said  to  be 
one  of  the  finest  in  the  county,  but  was  subsequently  burned  down  some  years 
after  his  death.  He  was  for  a  long  period  agent  for  several  of  the  original  pro- 
prietors of  land  in  St.  Lawrence  county,  among  which  were  Frederic  De  Peyster 
and  W.  C.  H.  Wadell,  of  New  York  Cit3^  In  politics  he  was  formerly  a  member 
of  the  Whig  party,  but  joined  the  Republican  organization  on  its  formation.  He 
held  the  office  of  Justice  of  the  Peace  for  many  years,  and  in  1847  was  elected 
supervisor  of  the  town  of  De  Kalb,  which  office  he  held  till  his  death,  in  1857. 
It  is  needless  to  add  any  enconium  to  Orin  M.  Fisk's  reputation  as  a  man 
and  worthy  citizen,  as  the  foregoing  record  amply  testifies  to  his  worth,  and  the 
estimation  in  which  he  was  held  by  his  fellow  citizens.  Although  not  a  member 
of  any  church,  he  exhibited  a  Christian  principle  in  all  his  dealings,  and  many 
can  testify  to  the  timely  aid  received  from  his  hands  in  their  direst  extremity.

gloomiest  hour  of  its  struggle  for  an  existence.  Gallantly 
he  shared  its  fortunes  under  Sherman  and  other  Gen- 
erals at  Vicksburg,  Memphis  and  Cairo.  Possessing  a  deli- 
cate constitution,  he  soon  fell  a  victim  to  that  relent- 
less scourge,  chronic  diarrhoea.  He  lingered  for  many  months, 
subject  to  sanitary  treatment,  till  at  length  an  honorable  dis- 
charge relieved  him  from  the  stern  duties  of  military  life. 
Buoyed  up  by  his  indomitable  will,  though  physically  incapaci- 
tated to  endure  the  fatigue  of  travel,  he  soon  reached  the  home 
of  his  childhood.  Here,  the  mere  shadow  of  his  former  pres- 
ence, he  greeted  his  doting  mother,  a  loving  sister,  and  a 
younger  brother.

by  Side  With  Noble  Christian 
Activities.  The  Voice,  New 
York  City,  May  15,  1888,  said: 
In  a  conspicuous  box  at  the 
Metropolitan  Opera  House,  on 
Monday  night.  May  14,  as  the 
great  Prohibition  rally  there 
drew  near  its  close,  a  man  sat 
down  and  looked  out  with 
swift  interest  upon  that  vast  as- 
semblage. It  was  near  eleven 
o'clock,  and  he  had  just  come 
from  a  down-town  appoint- 
ment so  binding  he  could  not 
sooner  get  release.  At  the  wide 
street  entrance  only  some 
stragglers  appeared,  and  he 
had  sought  the  special  box  assigned  him,  half  believing  that  because  of  storm  and 
small  attendance  the  meeting  had  early  broken  up,  and  he  should  find  but  vacancy 
and  darkness.  When  he  entered  and  took  his  seat,  his  beaming  blue  eyes 
ranged  over  the  stage  below  him,  packed  with  well-known  Prohibitionists,  and 
thence  over  the  spacious  auditorium  facing  them,  crowded  in  all  its  five  great 
galleries  with  men  and  women  whose  enthusiasm  was  electric.  Scores  of  people 
near  by  observed  this  man,  with  whose  form  they  had  grown  familiar.  The  atten- 
tion of  hundreds  more  was  speedily  drawn  to  him.  And  all  whose  gaze  turned 
that  way  beheld  a  gentleman  of  portly  build,  with  rather  short  gray  beard,  partly 
veiling  a  face  roundish  in  outline,  rising  to  a  forehead  high  and  intellectual.  The 
rather  rotund  figure  and  the  genial  countenance  were  suggestive  of  comfortable 
living,  little  care  and  happy  temperament.  From  the  gray  whiskers,  and  the  bald 
crown  above  them,  one  might  have  guessed  this  gentleman  past  middle  life,  though 
surely  not  yet  old. 

Who  was  he?  The  crowd  soon  told  his  name.  When  Professor  Dickie's  clear, 
masterful  voice  rang  out  its  final  word,  with  one  mighty  volume  of  sound  the  shout 
went  up  for  "Fisk!"  "Fisk!"  The  man  in  the  box  was  wanted  upon  the  platform. 
These  many  years,  indeed,  he  has  been  wanted  there,  at  any  gathering  of  which 
he  might  form  part,  whatever  its  occasion  or  character.  His  wonderful  aptness 
of  extempore  address,  his  choice  command  of  language,  his  unfailing  good  humor, 
and  his  magnetic  charm,  have  made  him  a  general  favorite  in  ecclesiastical  bodies, 
in  party  gatherings,  and  in  commercial  assemblies,  whenever  speech-making  came 
in  order. 

There  is  no  man  in  all  our  country  more  popular  as  an  ofif-hand  talker  than 
Gen.   Fisk;  no  man,   it  may  be  added,   whose  talking  gifts  have  been  tested  in

more  various  ways,  or  on  wider  fields.  He  could  speak  to  his  newly  recruited 
regiment  of  soldiers  in  St.  Louis  with  such  persuasiveness  that  they  agreed  he 
should  do  all  their  swearing,  well  aware  he  would  not  swear  a  word.  In  camp, 
at  the  front,  he  could  lead  a  prayer  meeting  with  tender  exhortation  and  fervent 
appeal.  When  reconstruction  days  came  on  he  could  gather  thousands,  white 
and  black,  upon  some  Southern  plantation,  and  win  them  to  ready  acceptance 
of  the  great  change  from  slavery  to  freedom.  And  in  these  later  years,  South  and 
North,  at  the  general  conference  of  his  church,  as  a  fraternal  delegate  with 
Southern  brethren,  in  the  great  convention  at  Pittsburg  which  nominated  St.  John, 
at  some  great  business  banquet  where  capital  massed  itself,  or  where  old  army 
comrades  met  in  annual  reunion — oftener  than  almost  any  other  American  he 
has  been  called  to  say  the  word  most  fitting,  to  lend  the  final  grace  of  flowing 
rhetoric  and  felicitous  quotation.  Upon  this  night  of  particular  reference,  in  the 
great  opera  house  of  this  great  metropolis,  it  was  not  so  much  that  another 
speech  was  wanted — for  four  speeches  had  been  heard  already — as  that  the  vast 
audience  desired  to  recognize  and  salute,  in  this  genial  man  of  gracious  manner  and 
warm  heart,  the  next  probable  standard  bearer  of  Prohibition — the  almost  inevit- 
able nominee  for  President  by  the  Prohibition  party.  And  their  greeting  was  such 
as  to  honor  and  exalt  the  most  princely.  Under  its  inspiration  thousands  of  pulses 
leaped  aflame  and  glowed  with  sudden  fire.  It  was  magnificent.  It  was  thrilling. 
Could  she  have  lived  to  see  it,  how  glad  and  proud  one  woman  must  have  beenl 
Her  name  was  Lydia  Aldrich  when  a  girl  in  Rhode  Island;  she  was  the  wife  of 
Capt.  Benjamin  Fisk  when  on  the  8th  of  December,  1828,  she  gave  to  the  world  a 
boy  they  christened  Clinton  Bowen.  That  was  in  the  little  hamlet  known  a^  Griggs- 
ville,  town  of  York,  Livingston  County,  N.  Y.  Clinton  Bowen  was  the  fifth  male 
child  born  to  this  pair  of  young  Puritans  since  they  had  settled  in  the  Genesee 
Valley.  Half  his  patronymic  came  from  New  York's  "Canal  Governor,"  De  Witt 
Clinton;  the  other  half  was  from  the  mother's  family  tree.  It  was  a  humble  home 
wherein  the  boy  saw  daylight  first,  but  in  a  region  beautiful  and  fertile,  though 
sparsely  peopled  then.  His  father  was  a  man  of  local  reputation,  and  getting 
on  fairly  well  for  one  in  so  new  a  country.  He  was  a  blacksmith,  wagon-maker, 
and  miscellaneous  manufacturer,  for  quite  an  area  round  about.  He  trained  with 
the  military,  as  was  natural,  for  his  grandfather  had  been  under  Washington. 
And  sometimes,  on  general  training  days,  as  was  also  natural,  he  took  a  little 
stronger  drink  than  his  son  ever  takes,  for  even  a  deacon  could  do  it  then  and 
not  lose  religious  caste.  When  his  fifth  and  youngest  boy  was  less  than  two  years 
old,  Capt.  Fisk  removed  to  Michigan.  Better  opportunities  were  there  to  be 
found,  in  his  opinion,  for  building  the  foijune  his  growing  family  must  need.  He 
turned  some  modest  savings  into  timber  land  in  the  wilderness  county  of  Lenawee, 
bought  out  a  mechanic  who  had  located  five  mile  north  of  Tecumseh,  on  the  river 
Raisin,  and  there,  surrounded  by  not  unfriendly  Pottawattomie  Indians,  set  about 
fortune-making.  The  new  place  thus  established  he  called  Clinton,  in  honor  of  the 
Governor  left  behind  and  the  baby  brought  along.  Two  years  later,  poisoned  with 
the  malaria  then  so  pervading  that  whole  region,  he  sickened  and  died,  leaving  his 
wife  Lydia  with  yet  another  babe  to  care  for,  and  at  the  mercy  of  conditions  most 
unkind.  Mistress  Lydia  did  the  best  she  could  for  her  six  fatherless  boys  and 
with  her  untilled  lands.  Losses  came,  lands  went,  times  grew  hard.  One  by  one 
the  lads  were  put  out  to  earn  their  own  support,  and  Clinton's  turn  to  go  came  at 
last.  He  was  then  but  9  years  old,  yet  eager  to  help  his  mother  and  to  make  a 
chance  for  himself.  When  Farmer  Wright  offered  a  horse,  a  saddle,  a  bridle,  two 
suits  of  clothes,  one  hundred  dollars,  and  three  months  of  "schooling"  every  year, 
if  he  would  serve  him  till  21.  Clinton  saw  his  chance.  To  him  the  "schooling" 
was  powerful  inducement.  He  hungered  for  knowledge,  young  as  he  then  was. 
He  left  mother  and  home  even  cheerfully,  and  wondered  why  his  mother  so  often 
put  her  apron  to  her  eyes  after  he  bade  her  good-bye,  as  he  rode  away.  He  lived 
with  Deacon  Wright  between  two  and  three  years,  busied  in  the  many  ways  a 
chore-boy  can  be  occupied  on  the  farm.  But  he  grew  ambitious  for  wider  things. 
He  craved  better  chances  still.  By  hook  and  crook  (though  he  hooked  none  of 
them)  he  had  obtained  a  few  books,  and  read  them  stretched  out  upon  the  broad 
hearthstone  before  a  huge  fireplace.  There  he  had  learned  to  write— that  hand- 
some back-hand  script  his  correspondents  know  so  well— using  the  hearthstone  for  a 
copy-book;  and  on  this  novel  slate  he  had  wrought  out  the  problems  Daboll  gave. 
Verily,  "a  little  knowledge  is  a  dangerous  thing."     It  made  this  young  lad  rest-

less,  dissatisfied  and  eager.  Then  his  younger  brother  died,  and  the  widowed 
mother  grew  so  lonesome  that  she  secured  his  release  from  the  contract  binding 
him  out,  and  Clinton  returned  to  her,  sure  the  broader  chances  which  he  hungered 
for  were  waiting  not  far  ahead. 

We  have  not  the  space  here  to  detail  his  varied  struggles  to  secure  an  educa- 
tion during  the  next  ten  years.  They  form  a  long  and  interesting  chapter 
in  the  full  biography  which  has  been  written.  He  Had  pluck,  push  and  persever- 
ance. Chiefly  he  was  self-taught.  He  earned  his  own  text-books  and  studied 
them  in  his  own  way  much  of  the  time.  As  he  had  secured  his  first  coveted  volume 
— a  mutilated  Shakespeare — by  hoeing  corn  for  a  neighbor,  so  he  bought  a  Latin 
grammar  by  special  effort  and  sacrifice.  He  caught  a  coon,  like  many  another 
lad  of  twelve,  but  hoping,  as  few  lads  would,  to  realize  upon  him  for  educational 
ends.  By  patient  applications  he  made  the  coon  expert  at  many  things,  and  came 
to  love  him  as  a  boy  might.  Then  he  walked  with  his  pet  to  Jackson,  a  half-day's 
journey,  and  sold  him  as  a  trick  animal  to  the  circus  which  exhibited  there,  that 
"Anthon's  Latin  Lessons"  might  be  his.  So  he  lost  the  pet  he  loved,  but  gained 
the  book  he  coveted.  It  was  not  easy  to  study  Latin  alone,  unaided.  But  at  night, 
in  front  of  the  fireplace,  and  by  day  while  a-field,  with  the  help  of  written  slips 
prepared  for  such  field  service  the  night  before,  he  plodded  on  through  nouns  and 
verbs,  declensions  and  conjugations.  The  Latin  dipthong  troubled  him  as  to  pro- 
nunciation, but  his  pluck  conquered  it.  Nobody  near  him  knew  a  Latin  word, 
but  by  chance  he  learned  of  another  boy  studying  the  language  who  was  to  be  at 
a  camp-meeting  ten  miles  distant.  To  meet  that  boy  he  walked  the  twenty  miles 
of  that  round  trip,  and  he  fairly  hugged  himself  the  whole  way  home  because  of 
his  success  in  pumping  the  boy  dry  of  Latin  information  without  telling  how  little 
he  really  knew  himself.  When  he  was  13  years  old  his  mother  married  William 
Smith,  a  well-to-do  farmer  living  at  Spring  Arbor,  in  Jackson  county,  and  for 
awhile  he  had  better  advantages,  which  faithfully  he  improved.  His  stepfather 
liked  him,  and  wished  him  to  have  the  most  liberal  college  education.  All  the 
plans  were  laid  for  him  to  enter  Wesleyan  Seminary  at  Albion,  in  preparation 
for  Michigan  Central  College,  now  at  Hinsdale,  when  Mr.  Smith  died.  Again  his 
dream  of  fine  opportunities  was  broken,  but  again  he  set  manfully  about  making 
the  best  of  things.  His  twice-widowed  mother  removed  to  Albion,  where  and 
near  where  Clinton  studied  and  labored  and  taught.  He  achieved  first  place  in 
Latin  and  Greek,  and,  spite  of  many  obstacles,  was  going  forward  well  toward 
graduation  there,  when  utter  disaster  befell  him  on  this  line.  Hard  study  by  night, 
and  the  intense  heat  of  firelight,  by  which,  as  a  boy,  so  much  study  had  been 
done,  bore  fruit  in  disease  of  the  eyes,  so  acute  and  continued  that  study  became 
impossible,  and  with  keen,  lasting  regret,  he  abandoned  his  fondest  hope. 

At  Albion  he  met  Miss  Jeanette  A.  Crippen  and  her  brother,  fellow-students, 
iind  after  college  dreams  were  over  he  took  up  mercantile  business  with  Miss 
Crippen's  father  and  brother  at  Coldwater.  In  1850  he  married  Miss  Crippen, 
whose  bright  black  eyes  had  fascinated  him  in  recitation  hours,  and  so  perfected 
a  partnership  which  brought  him  compensation  for  loss  of  college  honors.  Mr. 
Crippen  was  the  leading  merchant  and  banker  of  that  region,  and  the  firm  of 
Crippen  &  Fisk  kept  and  increased  the  commercial  standing  and  enterprise  of  L.  D. 
Crippen  &  Co.  Clinton  B.  Fisk's  adaptability,  goodfellowship  and  swift  business 
sagacity  came  into  full  play.  He  grew  prosperous  rapidly,  and  was  known  through 
all  that  country  round.  Success  attended  every  step  he  took.  He  mingled  in  or 
led  every  social  and  religious  movement.  He  bought  a  farm  near  Coldwater 
and  made  it  the  premium  farm  of  that  county.  He  was  versatile,  far-sighted,  for-^ 
tunate.  Then  came  the  financial  crash  of  1857.  Banks  went  down  on  every  hand. 
Business  firms  failed  everywhere.  Creditors  could  not  pay.  Loans  were  not 
collected.  Friends  advised  him  to  suspend  and  so  protect  himself;  but  Mr.  Fisk 
would  not.  His  bank  paid  dollar  for  dollar  to  the  end.  But  when  the  end  came, 
though  he  had  some  money  left,  he  was  without  health.  That  year  of  constant 
overwork  and  terrible  strain  had  broken  his  hardy  constitution  and  bankrupted  his 
nervous  resources.  He  lay  by  some  months  ensuing,  and  in  1858  took  up 
residence  in  St.  Louis,  as  western  financial  agent  of  the  Etna  Insurance  Company. 
For  a  year  more  he  traveled  widely  the  whole  length  and  breadth  of  the  Mississippi 
Valley  and  contiguous  States.  He  made  broad  acquaintance  with  men.  from 
Abraham  Lincoln  at  his  home  in  Illinois  to  the  humblest  planter  on  a  Mississippi 
bottom.     Health    came   back.     New   opportunities    for    usefulness    opened    before

him.  He  was  growing  ripe  for  the  richest  work  a  patriot  could  do.  The  business 
men  of  St.  Louis  knew  and  admired  him.  In  the  church  life  there  he  was  a  vital 
force.  With  i860  came  mutterings  of  war.  Mr.  Fisk  knew  the  South  and  the 
North.  He  foresaw  conflict  and  helped  make  ready  for  it.  He  enlisted  as  a 
private  for  three  months,  and  helped  capture  a  camp  secretly  formed  outside  the 
city.  The  Merchants'  Exchange,  of  vast  commercial  influence,  grew  doubtful 
for  the  Union  and  was  likely  to  cast  all  its  weight  upon  the  disunion  side.  He 
called  a  meeting  of  seceders  from  the  Exchange  and  organized  a  Union  rival  to  it 
which  swallowed  the  old  organization  completely.  He  spoke,  he  wrote,  he  worked 
for  the  cause  of  right.  By  birth  a  Puritan  and  an  Abolitionist,  he  could  do  no 
less.  Even  as  a  boy  he  had  been  with  the  Abolition  army  in  politics,  small  as 
it  was.  In  1840  the  boys  all  round  him  were  Whigs,  and  carried  their  banner 
"for  Tippecanoe  and  Tyler,  too;"  but  he  raised  a  solitary  flag  for  Birney  and  Mor- 
ris, and  bore  it  to  victory.  To  victory,  because  he  had  to  fight  for  the  privilege 
to  carry  it  at  all,  and  won  his  first  conflict  in  life  on  that  very  issue.  It  wasn't  much 
of  a  flag — three-fourths  of  a  yard  of  white  cotton  cloth,  bought  with  the  sale  of 
molasses  candy,  painted  with  axle  grease,  and  affixed  to  a  broomstick — not  much 
of  a  flag,  but  dear  to  the  boy  whose  ingenuity  devised  and  whose  patriotism  bore 
it.  A  little  dearer  than  ever,  may  be,  after  his  mother  had  spanked  him  for  spoil- 
ing her  broom.  In  July  of  1862,  at  President  Lincoln's  request,  he  set  about  re- 
cruiting a  regiment.  Back  of  him  loyally  stood  the  Union  Merchants'  Exchange, 
with  money  to  assist.  September  saw  it  mustered  in  and  at  the  from.  Then  he  re- 
cruited a  brigade,  and  was  commisisoned  Brigadier-General,  Nov.  24,  1862.  One 
month  later  he  proceeded  with  his  full  command  to  Helena,  Ark.,  and  until  June, 
1863,  he  was  on  duty  in  the  Department  of  the  Tennessee,  where  Grant  was  seeking 
to  capture  Vicksburg.  After  that  his  service  was  continuously  in  Missouri  till  the 
war  closed.  He  was  some  months  in  command  of  all  southeast  Missouri,  with 
headquarters  at  Pilot  Knob,  and  for  a  time  had  charge  of  certain  very  lawless  north- 
western counties,  which  he  made  orderly  and  inhabitable.  Later  he  commanded 
the  District  of  St.  Louis,  comprising  all  the  territory  before  in  separate  districts. 
When  Sterling  Price  attacked  the  State  capital.  General  Fisk  was  ordered  to  pro- 
tect it,  and  met  the  emergency  with  cool  tact  and  judgment.  The  forces  of  Price 
were  led  by  Marmaduke  and  Shelby,  and  commanded  in  person  by  Price.  General 
Fisk  had  only  a  handful  of  troops,  but,  by  strategy,  he  multiplied  them  to  the  ears 
of  Price,  and  raised  such  defenses  as  gave  color  to  these  fictitious  reports.  The  first 
assault  was  met  gallantly,  and  Price  retreated  with  his  large  force.  Fisk  ordered 
a  pursuit  and  Shelby  and  Marmaduke  were  captured;  the  capital  was  saved.  In 
February,  1865,  he  was  made  Major-General  of  the  Missouri  militia,  and  one  month 
later  Andrew  Johnson  commissioned  him  Major-General  by  brevet  "for  faithful 
and  meritorious  services  during  the  war."  In  May  that  year  he  was  assigned  to 
special  duty  as  Assistant  Commissioner  of  the  Freedmen's  Bureau,  in  which  im- 
portant and  delicate  capacity  he  served  till  September,  1866.  The  entire  States  of 
Kentucky  and  Tennessee,  and  parts  of  Alabama,  Mississippi  and  Arkansas  were 
under  his  jurisdiction.  Through  all  that  once  rich  territory  devastation  reigned. 
The  negroes,  freed,  were  largely  unwilling  to  work,  and  their  notions  of  what 
they  should  have  and  should  do,  were  extravagant,  often  absurd.  To  restore  confi- 
dence between  white  and  black,  to  readjust  the  relations  of  society,  and  to  bring 
about  that  industrial  status  which  was  imperative,  was  the  task  General  Fisk  took 
up.  He  gave  it  the  best  work  in  his  power.  Mild  in  his  methods,  calm  always 
in  judgment,  decisive  as  to  conclusions,  judicial  in  mental  habit,  he  was  at  once 
in  his  own  person  a  court  of  just  appeal,  and  a  commission  to  execute.  He  won 
common  respect.  Going  up  and  down  the  region  under  his  command,  he  in- 
vited before  him  the  former  master  and  slave,  set  forth  to  their  mutual  under- 
standing the  law  governing  both,  and  the  whole  facts  relating  to  their  mutual 
interest.  He  made  each  his  friend.  More  than  any  other  one  man,  it  is  safe  to 
say.  he  made  possible  the  rehabilitation  of  Southern  fields,  and  the  sure  beginning 
of  a  better  future.  Out  of  this  work  grew,  naturally,  the  institution  of  learning 
for  colored  youth,  known  now  as  Fisk  University,  at  Nashville.  General  Fisk  early 
saw  the  need  of  such  liberal  helps  for  the  Freedmen,  and  his  influence  has  been 
constant  in  their  behalf.  Throughout  the  South  today  his  name  is  held  in  reverence 
among  the  blacks,  and  is  mentioned  in  terms  of  candid  respect  and  confidence  by 
the  Vv'hites.  General  Fisk  resigned  from  the  army  in  the  fall  of  1866,  after  over  four 
years'  unremitting  service,  and  ?ince  then  has  been  busily  occupied  with  railroad.

banking  and  ecclesiastical  affairs.  For  eight  years  he  was  treasurer  of  the  Missouri 
and  Pacific  Railroad;  since  1879  he  has  resided  in  New  Jersey,  with  headquarters 
in  New  York.  In  Missouri  he  declined  all  political  honors  when  urged  upon  him. 
In  1884  he  came  out  from  the  Republican  party,  whose  great  leaders — Lincoln, 
Grant,  Greeley,  and  others — had  been  his  intimate  friends,  and  supported  St.  John. 
Two  years  ago  he  consented,  as  a  matter  of  duty  and  -sacrifice,  to  lead  the  Prohibi- 
tion campaign  in  New  Jersey,  and  as  candidate  for  Governor  polled  about  20,000 
votes — a  three-fold  increase  of  the  vote  previously  cast.  In  that  campaign  he  made 
one  hundred  and  twenty-five  engagements  to  speak,  filled  them  all,  and  was  never 
five  minutes  late.  To  meet  these  he  traveled  five  thousand  miles.  Scrupulous  of 
his  every  duty,  considerate  of  all  men,  the  soul  of  personal  honor,  sensitive  as  a 
woman,  Clinton  B.  Fisk  shrinks  from  political  warfare,  and  protests  against  his 
preferment  as  a  political  leader.  The  most  conspicuous  layman  in  the  Methodist 
Church,  to  which,  as  a  boy  of  10,  he  gave  himself,  he  gives  to  religious  and  de- 
nominational progress  his  chief  concern;  but  he  sees  how  closely  the  church  of 
God  is  related  to  this  question  of  the  ages,  and  his  whole  heart  is  alive,  his  entire 
nature  consecrated,  to  the  fight  now  up  for  settlement  along  political  lines. 
He  will  refuse  no  clear  call  of  duty,  whatever  to  him  the  cost 

Gen.  Fisk  actively  aided,  as  stated  above,  in  establishing  Fisk  University,  Nash- 
ville, Tenn.,  in  1865,  and  it  was  named  for  him.  He  had  been  identified  with  its 
financial  and  educational  interests,  and  was  president  of  its  board  of  trustees.  He 
was  also  a  trustee  of  Dickinson  College,  of  Drew  Theological  Seminary,  and  also 
of  Albion  College,  Michigan.  He  was  trustee  of  the  American  Missionary  Asso- 
ciation, and  also  a  member  of  the  book  committee  of  the  M.  E.  Church.  He  ren- 
dered conspicuous  service  in  Methodism  in  his  efforts  toward  a  reunion  of  the 
Northern  and  Southern  branches  of  the  church.  He  was  also  identified  with  the 
temperance  movement.  From  1874  to  his  death  he  was  president  of  the  board  of 
Indian  commissioners.  He  was  the  Prohibition  nominee  for  President  of  the 
United  States  at  one  time.     He  d.  July  9,  1890;  res.  New  York.  N.  Y.

came  to  Michigan  at  the  same  time  his  parents  and  brothers  came  from  New 
York.  He  was  eight  years  of  age.  He  lived  with  his  mother  until  after  his 
father  died,  then  he  went  to  live  with  a  man  by  the  name  of  Dennis  Lancaster  for 
a  couple  of  years.  He  lived  in  Clinton  after  that  and  learned  the  mason's  trade. 
He  worked  at  that  for  several  years,  then  clerked  in  a  dry  goods  store  for  Snow 
&  Kies  for  some  time.  Afterward  he  went  into  the  speculating  business  and  was 
quite  successful.  He  retired  from  business  about  fifteen  years  ago.  His  second 
wife  died  eight  years  ago,  and  since  then  he  lived  in  Iowa  with  his  step-children, 
until  the  past  few  years  he  has  lived  with  his  daughter  Grace  in  Clinton.  He  is 
now  73  years  of  age  and  will  no  doubt  live  to  be  an  old  man;  res.  Clinton,  Mich.

subject  of  this  sketch  was  educated  in  the  Fall  River  schools,  which  are  most 
excellent,  finishing  with  a  six  years'  course  in  the  high  school.  At  i8  years  of  age 
he  entered  the  Massasoit  bank  in  Fall  River  as  clerk;  was  in  the  banking  business  for 
eighteen  years,  the  last  ten  of  which  he  was  cashier  of  the  Fall  River  National  bank. 
Having  acquired  quite  a  little  property  and  being  tired  of  the  routine  of  bank  life, 
he  improved  the  opportunity  which  was  opened  by  the  great  fire  of  1872  in  Boston, 
to  go  into  the  firm  with  which  he  is  now  connected,  North,  Fiske  &  Co.,  Mrs. 
North  having  lost  largely  by  the  fire  and  needing  capital.  Roxbury  (suburb  and

He  has  tried  to  exert  a  good  influence  in  a  quiet  way,  and  lead  an  upright,  honest 
life.  He  has  held  many  offices  in  the  Congregational  Church,  deacon,  superin- 
tendent of  Sunday  school,  etc.  He  has  had  ups  and  downs  in  business  for  the  last

His  parents  were  Quakers  and  while  he  was  quite  young  emigrated  west,  settling 
in  Centreville,  Montgomery  County,  Ohio,  where  he  lived  the  remainder  of  his 
life.  His  father  was  the  village  blacksmith  as  well  as  farmer.  Nathan  received  a 
liberal  education  for  the  times,  learned  his  father's  trade  but  took  to  farming  after 
his  marriage  in  1828  to  Rebecca  Whitehill  Cowan.  He  was  frequently  elected  or 
appointed  to  local  office  by  his  neighbors  and  friends,  who  held  him  in  high 
esteem.  He  was  one  who  had  a  happy  faculty  of  looking  on  the  bright  side  of 
passing  events  and  was  charitable  to  a  fault.  The  following  incident  was  charac- 
teristic: Hearing  a  noise  at  the  corn  crib  one  night,  he  went  out  and  found  a 
ne'er-do-well  neighbor  helping  himself  from  the  crib.  Watching  him  until  at  least 
two  bushels  were  in  the  sack,  he  stepped  up  and  said,  "I  guess  that  is  as  much 
as  you  can  carry,"  and  regardless  of  the  plea  of  the  pilferer,  who  wished  to  empty 
the  sack,  made  him  tie  it  up  and  take  it  home.  He  d.  Nov.  15,  1863;  res.  Cen-

12,  1857.  He  was  born  at  Stafford,  Conn.,  on  the  old  homestead.  His  father  moved 
to  Wales,  Mass.,  three  years  after  his  birth.  He  married  the  eldest  daughter  of 
John  Moore,  of  Union,  Conn.,  an  old  comrade  of  his  father's  while  in  the  Con- 
tinental army,  on  May  13,  1813.  Her  mother,  Maria,  was  a  daughter  of  their 
father's  Captain,  John  Lawson.  They  lived  on  the  Moore  farm,  in  Union,  Conn., 
until  1817.  Their  only  daughter  was  born  there.  In  1817  Eli  and  family  moved  to 
Indiana  county,  Pennsylvania.  When  he  settled  there  he  improved  a  farm  and 
set  up  a  shoemaker's  shop.  He  made  the  first  pairs  of  pegged  shoes  and  boots 
that  were  made  in  that  county.  He  also  erected  several  mills  and  dwelling  houses. 
In  1824  he  moved  to  Cincinnati,  O.  When  he  went  there  he  engaged  in  the

b.  Dec.  12,  1832.  Of  excellent  ancestry,  Mr.  Cornelius  Fiske  was  born  at  Lincoln, 
Mass.,  completed  his  preparatory  studies  at  the  Lawrence  Academy,  Groton,  Mass., 
and  at  the  Phillips  Exeter  Academy,  entered  Harvard  College,  and  was  graduated 
in  the  class  of  1853.  Among  his  classmates  were  President  Charles  W.  Eliot,  John 
Quincy  Adams,  John  Davis  Washburn,  Justin  Winsor,  and  others  well  known  to 
the  public.  He  studied  law  in  Boston,  and  later  in  New  York  City,  in  the  office 
of  Hon.  Erastus  C.  Benedict  (the  then  leading  admiralty  lawyer  in  the  United 
States),  of  the  firm  of  Benedict,  Burr  &  Benedict,  who,  together  with  Beebe, 
Dean  &  Donohue,  were  the  leading  admiralty  lawyers  in  New  York.  After 
leaving  the  office  of  Benedict.  Burr  &  Benedict,  Mr.  Fiske  took  an  office  on  his 
own  account,  and  commenced  practice  in  the  United  States  District  and  Circuit 
Court,  and  acquired  a  large  practice  in  all  the  courts  of  New  York.  Among 
his  clients  were  many  of  the  leading  merchants.  For  eighteen  years  he  was  at- 
torney and  counsel  to  Ball,  Black  &  Co.,  as  long  as  they  were  in  business,  the 
leading  merchants  in  watches,  jewelry  and  gas  fixtures,  occupying  the  place  in  the 
mercantile  world  which  Tiffany  &  Co.  now  occupies;  also  to  the  leading  dry 
goods  houses  for  many  years,  such  as  A.  T.  Stewart  &  Co.,  Strang,  Adriance  & 
Co.,  Arnold,  Constable  &  Co.,  and  several  silk  firms  and  sugar  houses.  With  this 
mercantile  practice,  Mr.  Fiske  also  represents  several  corporations  and  is  entrusted 
with  the  investments  of  large  sums  of  money  upon  real  estate,  and  in  other  first- 
class  ways.  It  is  said  that  he  has  never  lost  a  case  of  which  he  had  the  man- 
agement, except  one;  in  which  latter  case  his  client  reports  that  Mr.  Fiske  strongly 
advised,  not  only  that  the  case  was  extremely  doubtful,  but  that  he  would  lose  the 
case  and  costs,  and  expenses.  Mr.  Fiske  stands  high  in  the  profession,  and  is  uni- 
versally respected.     Res.  New  York  Citv:  add.  120  Broadway.

sold  his  farm  to  his  brother-in-law,  Mr.  Elijah  Brown,  and  removed  to  the  center 
of  the  town,  where  for  a  time  he  was  engaged  in  the  stock  business.  Later  he  was 
engaged  in  the  grain  and  produce  business  for  several  years.  The  last  seven  or 
eight  years  of  his  life  he  was  connected  in  various  ways  with  the  Waltham  Water 
Works.  He  served  five  years  as  water  commissioner,  being  chairman  of  the 
board  at  the  time  of  his  death.     "The  Waltham  Water  Commissioners  in  making

father. He  learned  the  trade  of  pattern  making  and  followed  that  calling  through 
life.  He  was  mostly  self-taught,  remarkably  intelligent,  and  well  read  and  a  thorough 
musician,  a  fine  tenor  singer  and  at  one  time  the  soloist  of  the  Boston  Handel  and 
Haydn  Society.  He  was  what  one  would  call  an  old-fashioned  man,  conscientious 
and  very  religious.  He  never  used  tobacco  or  intoxicating  liquors  and  all  his  habits 
were  of  the  simplest.  He  had  seven  children  by  his  first  wife  (Susan  HurdJ,  all 
boys;  two  children  (both  girls)  by  second  marriage  to  Sarah  Huntress.  He  died 
in  1863  of  softening  of  the  brain.  He  was  for  a  long  time  second  lieutenant  of  the

2151.  HON.  LUKE  FISKE  (Elijah,  Samuel,  Samuel.  William,  John,  Na-

tham, Mass.,  Feb.  6,  1794;  m.  there  Nov.  23,  1817,  Susanna  Sweetzer  Piper,  of  Bos- 
ton, b.  Sept.  25,  1796;  d.  Apr.  30,  1876.  Luke  Fiske  was  a  remarkable  man  and  one 
respected  and  talked  about  by  the  people  of  Waltham  while  living  and  his  loss  was 
much  felt  when  he  died.  He  was  spoken  of  as  one  of  the  intelligent  and  distinguished 
men  of  Middlesex  County.  He  was  popular.  Broad  paths  to  distinction  and  emi- 
nence lay  open  before  him.  were  thrown  open  to  him,  and  smoothed  for  his  foot- 
steps, onward  and  upward,  and  few  knew  why  he  never  took  full  advantage  of 
them.  Luke  Fiske  might  have  been  one  of  the  great  men  of  the  country— a  Sen- 
ator of  the  United  States— had  he  but  stepped  forward  and  used  the  means  and  ad- 
vantages that  absolutely  stood  begging  at  his  side,  and  wide  open  for  him.  Much 
reliance  was  placed  on  his  judgment  and  opinions.  During  his  life  he  was  com- 
missioned to  carry  out  many  public  measures,  but  before  he  acted,  every  measure 
was  fully  canvassed  in  all  its  bearings.     He  always  seemed  to  give  with  cheerful 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  371 

alacrity  his  time  to  the  pubUc  whether  the  duty  to  be  performed  was  an  agreeable 
one  or  not.  He  had  pride,  but  placed  himself  on  a  footing  of  equality  with  all. 
There  was  a  time  in  his  life  when  it  would  have  been  difficult  to  provide  a  man 
with  a  more  advantageous  passport  into  the  political  world  than  a  favorable  word 
spoken  by  Luke  Fiske.  He  entered  Harvard  College  when  quite  young,  and  grad- 
uated with  a  good  deal  of  honor.  In  1819  he  was  the  orator  of  the  day  for  the 
Fourth  of  July  in  the  town  of  Waltham.  He  was  an  open-hearted,  honest  man, 
generous  and  free  in  his  sympathies,  a  genial  companion,  a  lover  of  the  social  cir- 
cle, and  when  roused  was  a  debater  of  power.  He  would  probably  have  stud- 
ied a  profession,  but  being  an  only  child,  his  father  and  mo^lier  were  not  willing 
to  have  him  leave  them  and  he  would  not  disappoint  them,  and  as  his  father  owned 
two  farms  adjoining  each  other  he  went  on  to  one  of  them,  but  did  very  little  but 
oversee  it,  as  his  time  was  taken  up  in  other  ways.  He  cared  very  little  for  money 
excepting  for  what  it  would  buy. 

In  referring  to  the  organization  of  the  Waltham  Bank  a  local  paper  says: 
"The  Hon.  Luke  Fiske  was  chosen  from  the  board  of  directors  as  the  president  of 
the  bank.  Mr.  Fiske  retained  his  office  until  a  short  time  before  his  death,  when 
declining  health  induced  him  to  resign.  He  will  long  be  remembered  as  one  of 
our  leading  citizens  in  his  day  and  generation.  Possessed  of  great  energy,  of  will 
and  independence  of  character  he  was  one  of  that  class  of  men  who  are  sure  to 
exercise  a  controlling  influence  over  the  community  in  which  they  reside.  In  all 
matters  relating  to  the  well  being  of  the  town  he  took  a  lively  interest.  From 
occupying  the  most  important  of  town  offices  he  had  risen  to  the  position  of  a 
Senator  for  the  county  of  Middlesex  and  to  the  honor  of  a  seat  in  the  council  of 
Governor  Lincoln.  He  died  in  the  midst  of  his  usefulness."  He  d.  Feb.  26,  1845;

Sept.  2,  1762;  m.  at  Worcester,  June  9,  1796,  Sarah  Duncan,  b.  1775;  d.  Apr.  22, 
1855,  in  Roxbury  at  her  daughter's  home.  She  was  the  daughter  of  Mr.  Andrew 
Duncan,  a  native  of  Glasgow,  Scotland,  who  in  company  with  his  countryman, 
Wm.  Campbell,  established  himself  in  trade  in  Worcester  before  the  Revolution 
and  married  Sarah,  daughter  of  Joseph  Lynde,  Esq.,  of  Charlestown.  The  loyalty 
of  Mr.  Campbell  compelled  him  to  leave  the  country  and  settle  in  Nova  Scotia, 
where  for  more  than  twenty  years  he  was  Mayor  of  St.  John.  He  died  in  1823,  aged 
82.  Mr.  Duncan  shared  the  same  political  feeling,  but  continued  to  reside  in 
Worcester  under  unfavorable  influences.  He  was  drowned  in  a  fishing  excursion 
on  Quinsigamond  Lake,  soon  after  the  termination  of  the  war.  Mrs.  Fiske  was 
his  only  daughter. 

Dr.  Oliver  Fiske,  son  of  Rev.  Nathan  Fiske,  was  born  in  Brookfield,  Mass. 
His  early  education  was  superintended  by  his  father,  whose  productive  farm,  dur- 
ing most  of  the  Revolutionary  war  was  from  necessity,  principally  confided  to 
his  management.  In  the  summer  of  1780  a  requisition  for  recruits  for  the  Rev- 
olutionary war  was  made.  The  quotas  of  men  had  thus  far  been  furnished  without 
compulsory  process;  but  levies  had  been  so  frequent  that  none  would  enlist  freely.

at  a  season  so  busy.  The  company  then  commanded  by  the  late  Major  General 
John  Culter,  was  ordered  to  met  for  a  draft.  Exempted  by  the  courtesy  ex- 
tended to  clergymen  from  military  duty,  and  never  having  been  enrolled, 
Dr.  Fiske  offered  himself  as  volunteer,  with  the  approbation  of  his 
father,  who  applauded  the  patriotic  spirit,  while  the  personal  sacrifice 
it  involved  was  severely  felt.  Animated  by  the  example,  the  requisite  number  came 
from  the  ranks  on  the  parade.  The  regiment  in  which  they  were  embodied  was 
ordered  to  West  Point,  and  was  stationed  in  the  vicinity  of  that  post  at  the  de- 
fection of  Arnold  and  the  capture  and  execution  of  Andre.  On  being  discharged 
he  returned  to  the  farm,  and  was  employed  in  its  cultivation  until  the  close  of  the 
war  in  1783,  when  he  entered  Harvard  College. 

At  the  breaking  out  of  Shays'  insurrection  he  was  instrumental  in  reorganiz- 
ing the  Marti-Mercurian  Band  of  the  university,  in  obtaining  an  order  from  Gov. 
Bowdoin  for  sixty  stands  of  arms  at  Castle  William,  and  was  second  officer  of  the 
company.  When  the  court  commenced  at  Concord  he  was  the  organ  of  a  pe- 
tition from  this  corps,  to  march  in  support  of  government,  which  was  properly 
declined  by  the  authorities  of  the  institution. 

In  the  winter  vacation  (1786-7)  he  took  a  school  at  Lincoln,  but  hearing  of 
the  threatened  movements  of  the  malcontents  to  stop  the  judicial  tribunals  at 
Worcester,  he  procured  a  substitute  to  assume  his  engagements,  exchanged  the 
ferrule  for  an  appropriate  weapon  and  hastened  to  Worcester.  Finding  the  enemy 
dispersed  and  the  troops  on  their  way  to  Springfield  he  set  out  to  visit  his  father. 
On  the  heights  of  Leicester  the  report  of  Gen.  Shepherd's  artillery  diverted  him 
from  his  course.  Uniting  himself  to  a  body  of  light  horsemen,  then  en 
route,  he  joined  Gen.  Lincoln's  army.  When  the  rebellion  was  suppressed  he  re- 
sumed his  studies,  without  censure  for  the  long  absence,  and  graduated  in  1787. 
After  the  usual  preparation,  under  the  tuition  of  Dr.  Atherton  of  Lancaster,  he 
commenced  business  in  Worcester  in  October,  1790. 

He  was  active  in  forming  a  county  medical  association,  and  in  obtaining  the 
establishment  of  the  present  district  organization  of  the  Massachusetts  Medical 
Society.  Soon  after  the  formation  of  the  last  named  body  in  the  second  medical 
district,  he  was  elected  president  and  held  the  offices  of  councillor  and  censor 
until  he  retired  from  the  profession.  In  February,  1803,  he  was  appointed 
special  justice  of  the  court  of  common  pleas.  During  five  years  succeeding  1809 
he  was  member  of  the  executive  council.  The  commissions  of  Justice  of  the 
Peace,  of  the  Quorum,  and  throughout  the  commonwealth,  were  successively  re- 
ceived, and  the  latter  has  been  renewed  to  the  present  time. 

Dr.  Fiske  was  corresponding  secretary  of  the  Linnaean  Society  of  New  Eng- 
land in  1815.  of  the  Worcester  Agricultural  Society  from  1824,  and  councillor  of  the 
American  Antiquarian  Society.  He  was  Register  of  Deeds  during  the  triennial 
terra  from  1816  to  1821.  From  this  period  an  increasing  defect  in  the  sense  of 
hearing  induced  him  to  retire  from  busy  life  and  devote  himself  to  the  pursuits  of 
horticulture  and  agriculture,  those  employments,  in  his  own  graceful  language, 
the  best  substitute  to  our  progenitors  for  their  loss  of  Paradise,  and  the  best 
solace  to  their  posterity  for  the  evils  they  entailed.  The  results  of  that  taste  and 
skill  in  his  favorite  occupations,  early  imbibed,  ardentlj'  cherished  and  successfully 
cultivated,  have  been  freely  and  frequently  communicated  to  the  public  in  many 
essays,  useful  and  practical  in  matter  and  singularly  elegant  in  manner.  He  pub- 
lished an  oration  delivered  at  Worcester  in  1797,  an  essay  on  "Spotted  Fever," 
forming  part  of  the  "Transactions  of  the  Massachusetts  Medical  Society,"  and. 
other  writings. 

By  the  exertions  of  Dr.  Oliver  Fiske  the  most  respectable  and  influential 
physicians  of  the  country  assembled  and  formed  the  Worcester  Medical  Society 
Dec.  18,  1794.  Dr.  John  Frink,  of  Rutland,  was  elected  president  and  Dr.  Fiske,  of 
Worcester,  secretary.  At  an  early  meeting  a  petition  presented  to  the  Legislature 
for  incorporation  was  referred  to  a  joint  committee  of  physicians  and  resulted 
in  an  arrangement  to  enlarge  the  numbers  of  the  general  society  and  a  proposal 
to  create  district  associations.  This  system,  removing  the  evils  which  had  been 
felt  was  mutually  satisfactory,  was  carried  into  effect,  and  on  the  26th  of  Sept. 
1804,  the  Worcester  District  Society  was  organized.  The  succession  of  presidents 
has  been  as  follows:  1794,  John  Frink;  1803,  Israel  Atherton;  1806,  Oliver  Fiske.

was  graduated  at  Harvard  University  in  the  class  of  1831;  was

2198.  REV.  THADDEUS  FISKE  (Jonathan,  Nathan.  Nathan,  Nathan.  Na- 
than, Nathaniel,  Nathaniel,  William,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Symond),  b. 
June  22,  1762,  in  Weston;  m.  June  17,  1787,  Lucy  Clarke,  b.  May  2,  1767,  dau.  of 
Rev.  Jonas  Clarke,  of  Lex.;  d.  Mar.  9,  1855.  Her  great-grandmother  was  Lucy 
Hancock,  sister  of  Rev.  John  Hancock,  father  of  the  signer  of  the  Declaration  01 
Independence.  The  Rev.  Thaddeus  Fiske,  in  an  account  of  himself  and  ancestry 
appended  to  a  "Sermon  delivered  at  West  Cambridge,  Apr.  13,  1828,"  at  the  close 
of  his  ministry,  and  published  at  Boston  by  Charles  C.  Little  and  James  Brown, 
1843,  states:  "I  was  born  on  the  22d  of  June,  1762.  At  the  age  of  17  I  began  to 
prepare  for  college  under  the  tuition  of  Rev.  Mr.  Samuel  Woodward,  who  was  an  able 
instructor  and  linguist,  the  minister  of  Weston,  my  native  town.  I  was  offered  by 
him  for  examination,  and  was  admitted  a  student  of  Harvard  University  in  July, 
1781,  and  graduated  in  1785." 

After  he  had  taken  his  degree,  he  taught  a  grammar  school  in  Lexington,  and 
boarded  in  the  family  of  the  Rev.  Jonas  Clark.  He  returned  to  the  university  in 
Cambridge,  and  studied  divinity  under  Rev.  Prof.  Wigglesworth,  and  was  licensed 
to  preach  Aug.  8,  1786,  by  the  "Association  of  Ministers  in  and  about  Cambridge." 
He  preached  his  first  sermon  in  his  native  town,  and  after  supplying  several  vacant 
parishes,  was  invited  in  March,  1787,  to  preach  to  the  Second  Congregational 
Church  and  Society  in  Cambridge,  then  called  ^lenotomy,  now  "West  Cam- 
bridge." On  July  16,  1787,  he  received  a  call  to  settle  as  their  minister.  "I  hesi- 
tated," he  said,  "for  some  time,  whether  to  decline  or  to  accept  their  invitation. 
The  parish  was  very  small  and  poor  and  considerably  involved  in  debt,  having  been 
destitute  of  a  settled  minister  about  six  years,  and  was  in  a  broken  state,  very 
much  reduced  in  numbers  and  property.  It  was  generally  thought  doubtful 
whether  they  would  be  able  to  support  a  minister,  or  paj'  the  small  salary  they 
offered  me.  But  it  was  feared  by  many,  and  so  stated  to  me,  that  if  I  gave  a  neg- 
ative answer,  the  church  and  society  would  not  make  any  further  effort  to  obtain 
a  minister,  and  would  be  broken  up  and  dissolved." 

He  accepted  their  invitation,  and  was  ordained  Apr.  23,  1788.  Having  cast 
his  lot  with  the  "Second  Church  and  Congregation  in  Cambridge,"  he  immedi- 
ately endeavored  to  allay  the  difficulties  that  obstructed  their  prosperity.  He 
began  by  relinquishing  a  part  of  his  salary.  To  supply  the  deficiency  of  his 
support,  he  boarded  and  instructed  children  and  youth,  and  some  he  prepared 
for  admission  to  college;  he  instructed  many  daughters  of  his  parishioners,  and 
other  young  ladies  of  the  neighboring  towns. 

Though  this  employment  occupied  much  of  his  time,  yet  he  was  enabled  to 
perform  the  usual  duties  of  a  minister,  and  to  study  and  write  and  preach  upward 
of  twelve  hundred  sermons  during  his  ministry.  He  visited  and  taught  his  flock 
from  house  to  house,  gave  religious  instruction  to  youth,  and  continued  the  prac- 
tice adopted  by  his  predecessor,  the  Rev.  Samuel  Cooke,  of  meeting  the  children 
annually,  and  oftener.  for  the  purpose  of  examining  and  assisting  them  in  their 
knowledge  of  the  assembly's  catechism,  which  was  universally  taught  then  by 
their  parents  and  heads  of  families.  Sabbath  schools  were  designed  at  first  to  aid 
this  practice.  He  assisted  in  defraying  the  current  expenses  of  the  parish;  he  con- 
tributed fifty  dollars  toward  furnishing  a  new  house  of  worship,  built  in  1805;  he 
remitted  annually,  during  his  ministry,  the  parish  taxes  of  many  individuals  who 
were  either  unable  or  unwilling  to  pay  their  annual  assessments;  he  gave  fifty  dol- 
lars in  aid  and  support  of  a  singing  school  for  the  service  of  the  house  of  wor- 
ship, and  ten  dollars  toward  purchasing  ?ii  octavoviol  for  the  use  of  the  singers; 
had  a  set  of  curtains  put  in  the  foreseat  of  the  front  gallery  for  the  singers'  con- 
venience, and  the  pulpit  painted  at  his  expense.  He  commenced,  in  1806.  the 
establishment  of  a  social  library,  and  took  the  entire  care  of  it  in  his  house,  and 
delivered  books  to  the  proprietors  for  more  than  twenty  years  without  compensa- 
tion. This  and  other  things  he  did;  and  hence,  in  a  few  years,  "the  appearance  of 
the  town,  and  the  morals,  and  habits  of  the  people,"  were  changed  for  the  better, 
and  "its  favorable  aspect  induced  many  mdividuals  and  families  of  other  towns  to 
come  and  settle  in  the  place  and  aid  and  share  in  its  growing  prosperity."  He 
received  from  his  people  at  the  same  time  "many  tokens  of  their 'respect  and 
benevolence,"  and  enjoyed  his  full  share  of  "their  regards  and  affections." 

In  1788  the  Rev.  Mr.  Fiske  became  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Overseers  of 
Harvard  University.  In  1821  he  was  honored  with  the  degree  of  Doctor  of 
Divinity  by  Columbia  College,  New  York.     He  voluntarily  resigned  his  pastoral

ofifice  and  charge  Apr.  23,  1828,  leaving  a  church  of  about  one  hundred  members 
and  a  congregation  of  about  live  hundred  souls  for  his  successor. 

Such  is  the  substance  of  the  narrative  01  this  aged  minister,  appended  to  the 
discourse  delivered  at  the  close  of  his  n-inistry.  The  text  of  this  farewell  dis- 
course was  Acts  XX.  18-21.  Subject:  The  Life  and  Character  of  St.  Paul,  a  Model 
for  Christian  Ministers.  During  his  mini.stry  he  baptized  749;  number  of  funerals 
he  attended,  666;  admissions  to  the  church  (including  those  owning  their  cove- 
nant), 288;  joined  in  mairisge,  386  couples.  He  lived  to  see  five  ministers  succes- 
sively ordained  over  this  society,  three  of  whom  died  before  him;  was  at  the  time 
of  his  death  the  oldest  clergyman  in  Massachusetts.  A  marble  monument  marks 
the  spot  of  his  burial  in  Arlington's  old  buiying  ground,  amid  the  members  of  his 
flock. 

In  i;88  he  wrote  as  follows  in  accepting  the  call  to  the  church:  "To  the  peo- 
ple of  the  Church  :ind  Congregation  of  the  North  West  Parish  in  Cambridge.  In 
answer  to  the  invitation  you  have  given  me  to  settle  with  you  in  the  work  of  the 
ministry.  I,  in  the  first  place  return  you  my  most  heart}'  thanks,  especially  for  the 
ma'  y  insta;  ces  of  your  i'riendship.  esteem  and  affection.  The  sincerity  and  ardency 
of  >our  desires  are  completely  manifested  in  the  disposition  you  have  shown,  and 
your  willingness  to  do  whatever  the  heart  of  a  reasonable  man  can  wish.  And 
in  considering  your  invitation  in  every  point  of  view,  I  find  my  duty  and  happiness 
unite  in  the  acceptance.  And  as  you  have  agreed  to  be  satisfied  in  the  choice  of 
me  as  your  minister,  and  being  induced  by  the  encouragement  you  have  offered, 
and  in  confirmation  of  the  contract  we  have  made,  I  now  accept  of  your  invita- 
tion. And  being  fully  convinced  that  in  the  promol:ion  of  your  prosperity,  peace 
and  happiness,  I  shall  increase  my  own.  I  do  cheerfully  devote  myself,  my  strength 
and  future  years  to  you.  my  fathers  and  brethren,  in  the  service  of  my  ]Niaker,  and 
our  common  Lord  and  Master.  Under  the  protection  and  blessing  of  Almighty 
God,  being  assisted  by  Him  who  is  the  Great  Shepherd  and  head  of  the  Church, 
and  being  indulged  with  your  prayers,  I  hope  1  may  be  a  happy  instrument  as  a 
minister  of  the  Gospel,  to  advance  the  Redcem.er's  kingdom,  and  promote  the 
glorj'  of  God  in  the  world,  that  I  may  serve  you  faithfully  all  the  appointed  time  of 
my  days.  And  that  in  the  morning  of  the  Resurrection,  I  may  be  enabled  to 
appear,  and  say,  here,  Lord,  am  I,  and  here  are  the  souls  which  Thou  hast  given 
me.  Thaddeus  Fiske." 

Rev-  Dr.  Fiske's  Resignation.  May  8,  iSj8.  The  Rev.  Dr.  Fiske  having  pre- 
viously signified  his  wish  to  the  parish  to  resien  the  pastoral  office,  he  was  this  day 
regularly  dismissed  by  vote  of  the  parish.  The  parish  at  the  same  time  gave  an 
affectionate  and  respectful  testimonial  of  the  good  character  and  long  and  faith- 
ful services  of  their  pastor.  For  a  full  account  of  all  the  proceedings  relative  to 
the  resignation  of  Dr.   Fiske.  see  the  Parish   Records. 

May  14,  1828.  At  a  meeting  of  the  church — chose  Jeduthun  Wellington  mod- 
erator and  Miles  Gardner  clerk  pro  tem.  On  motion,  voted  unanimously  that  the 
following  resolve  be  accepted  and  a  copy  of  the  same  given  to  the  Rev.  Doctor 
Fiske,  viz. : 

To  all  whom  these  presents  may  come.  Whereas  it  has  become  expedient  for 
reasons  stated  in  a  communication  made  to  the  church  and  congregation  of  West 
Cambridge,  by  the  Rev.  Dr.  Fiske,  Pastor  of  said  church,  that  his  pastoral  relation 
be  dissolved  by  mutual  consent,  and  that  Mr.  Miles  Gardner,  the  parish  clerk,  be 
a  committee  from  the  church  to  express  to  him  the  drc  sense  we  have  of  his  long 
and  faithful  services  among  us  and  the  deep  regret  we  feel  that  existing  circum- 
stances should  dissolve  a  union  which  has  been  so  endearing  to  us  by  time.  And 
during  forty  years  of  his  m.inistry  he  has  maintained  a  fair  character  as  a  man  and 
as  a  Christian  in  the  performance  of  his  various  and  arduous  duties;  and  has  been 
an  examo'e  of  the  believer  in  the  word,  in  conversation,  in  faith,  in  benevolence, 
in  humi.iiy,  in  inirity,  and  in  piety.  And  it  is  our  ardent  and  fervent  wish  that  his 
life  may  be  prolonged  to  do  good;  that  the  infirmities  of  age  may  rest  upon  him 
with  joy  and  hope.  And  that  many  blessings  and  comforts  may  attend  him  in  his 
retirement  from  his  pastoral  labors  among  us.  He  d.  Nov.  14,  1855:  res.  West 
Cambridge,   Mass.

1852.  He  entered  Phillips  Academy  at  Exeter  at  an  early  age,  but  was  obliged 
to  return  home  on  account  of  severe  illness.  He  returned  to  college  when 
able,  but  was  called  home  on  account  of  the  sudden  death  of  his  father  and  it 
was  necessary  for  him  to  remain  with  the  family.  After  his  marriage  he  went 
to  Weld,  Me.,  and  spent  eleven  years.  He  then  returned  to  Wilton  and  spent 
the  remainder  of  his  life  there.  He  was  a  teacher  twenty-five  years  in  succession, 
during  the  winter  months  and  never  missed  a  winter.  His  last  school,  the  win- 
ter lie  was  52.  He  was  deacon  of  the  Second  Congregational  Church  in  Wihon, 
N.  H.,  twenty-four  years,  retiring  from  the  office  because  he  thought  it  belonged 
to  the  younger  members.  He  retained  all  his  mental  faculties  in  a  remarkable 
degree;  dying  at  the  age  of  93  years,  one  month,  one  day.  It  could  be  said  of 
his  as  of  Moses:  "His  eye  was  not  dim,"  for  he  never  wore  spectacles.  Was  a 
great  reader  and  read  to  the  very  last  of  his  life.  He  had  a  large  gathering  of 
friends  to  celebrate  his  90th  birthday.  There  were  ninety  of  the  members  of 
the  family,  including  ten  great-grandchildren,  sat  down  to  the  dinner.  He  d.

bridge, Mass.,  Nov.  28,  1785;  m.  at  Wrentham,  May  6,  1813,  Jerusha  Norton,  b. 
there  Apr.  5.  1779;  d.  in  Boston  Apr.  i,  1867.  Mr.  Fiske  graduated  from  Brown 
University,  in  the  class  with  Gov.  Wm.  L.  Marcy,  whose  friendship  he  enjoyed. 
After  graduation  he  became  preceptor  in  an  academy  in  Maine,  but  shortly  deter- 
mined to  study  law,  and  entered  the  office  of  Nathaniel  Searle,  LL.  D.,  of  Provi- 
dence, and  later,  that  of  Timothy  Bigelow.  Esq..  of  Boston.  Mr.  Fiske  became 
an  able  and  successful  lawyer.  His  office  at  Wrentham,  Mass.,  was  noted,  and  a 
large  number  of  students  acquired  their  knowledge  of  law  under  his  care  and 
instruction.  Mr.  Fiske  was  a  man  of  great  energy,  quick  perception,  and  a  fluent 
speaker.  His  ability  to  analyze  a  case  and  properly  present  its  strong  points,  con- 
tributed largely  to  his  success,  and  if  he  had  devoted  himself  exclusively  to  the 
law,  he  would  undoubtedly  have  ranked  among  the  distinguished  in  that  profes- 
sion. Early  in  life  he  became  interested  in  cotton  manufacturing.  He  built  a 
mill  at  Sturbridge  in  1827  and  later  erected  a  mill  containing  10,000  spindles  and 
200  looms.  The  village  of  Fiskedale,  Mass.,  commemorates  his  name.  Men  of 
Mr.  Fiske's  stamp  have  molded  the  generation  in  which  they  lived.  He  was  act- 
ive and  enterprising  and  earnest  in  promoting  the  general  \velfare.  That  he  was 
deemed  a  public  spirited  man  by  his  townsmen  is  evidenced  by  the  fact  that  he  was 
repeatedly  elected  to  office.  He  was  State  Senator  from  1823  to  1826  inclusive; 
was  member  of  the  Governor's  Council  in  1831  and  was  a  member  of  the  first 
board  of  railroad  commissioners  created  by  the  State.  From  1823  to  1827  he  was 
aid  de  camp  to  Major-General  Crane.  He  was  a  prominent  Mason,  being  District 
Deputy  Grand  Master  and  member  of  the  Grand  Lodge,  F.  &  A.  M.  of  Massachu- 
setts. He  was  far  seeing  in  his  thought  and  plans,  and  subsequent  events  in  Stur- 
bridge and  Wrentham  proved  the  wisdom  of  his  judgment.  He  was  courteous  and 
kindly  in  his  disposition,  and  these  traits  were  marked  in  his  family  intercourse 
He  married  Jerusha,  daughter  of  Dr.  Jenckes  Norton  and  Jerusha  Ware  of  Wren- 
tham.    His  death  occurred  at  Sturbridge,  his  birthplace,  Aug.  is.  1818.     His  broth-

Jones  and  George  Jenckes  were  members  of  the  well  known  firm  of  James  M.

24,  1849,  Charlotte  M.  Morse,  dau.  of  Dr.  Elijah  Morse,  of  Mt. 
Vernon,  Me.,  for  several  years  member  of  the  Senate  and 
House  of  Representatives  of  Maine.  He  d.  in  Boston,  s.  p., 
June  18,  1892.  Joseph  Norton  received  his  early 
education  at  Day's  Academy.  In  1833  he  entered  the 
counting-room  of  Shaw,  Patterson  &  Co.,  where  he 
remained  five  years,  and  afterward  became  confi- 
dential clerk  of  the  banking  house  of  Geo.  B.  Blake  &  Co. 
In  1846  he  became  a  member  of  the  Boston  Broker's  Board, 
and  opened  a  banking  office  on  State  Street.  He  met  with 
great  success  during  his  active  business  life,  his  ventures  prov- 
ing very  lucrative.  He  enjoyed  the  highest  confidence  of  the 
business  public  in  a  wonderful  degree.  This  was  due  not 
only  to  his  unquestionable  personal  integrity,  but  also  to  his 
well  known  business  methods  and  careful  arrangement  of  his 
financial  matters.  While  at  times  his  operations  were  im- 
mense, his  capital  was  invested  in  assets  only  of  the  highest 
character,  so  that  he  could  in  every  emergency  meet  his  obli- 
gations without  inconvenience  or  sacrifice.  He  never  specu- 
lated, and  his  connection  with  an  enterprise  was  a  guarantee 
that  it  was  founded  on  sound  business  principles.  He  retired 
from  active  business  in  i8;o,  spending  the  next  three  years  in 
Europe,  during  which  time  he  studied  the  financial  afifairs  of 
Europe,  making  himself  familiar  with  the  moneyed  interests 
of  the  old  world.  He  was  among  the  first  of  the  large  prop- 
erty holders  to  inaugurate  the  erection  of  the  modem,  palatial 
office  buildings.  In  1888  he  erected  on  State  Street  the  well 
known  Fiske  building,  one  of  the  finest  buildings  in  Boston,  a 
niodel  of  beauty  and  convenience.  In  richness  of  interior  fin- 
ish and  beauty  of  architecture  it  is  unsurpassed  in  New  Eng- 
land. Mr.  Fiske  devoted  the  remaining  years  of  his  life  to  the 
care  of  his  extensive  private  business.  Up  to  the  very  last  of 
his  life  he  enjoyed  remarkable  vigorous  health,  and  his  well 
preserved  faculties  of  mind  and  body  were  a  source  of  com- 
ment and  congratulation.  The  illness  which  terminated  in  his 
death,  June  18,  1892,  was  the  result  of  a  severe  cold,  which 
confined  him  to  the  house  only  ten  days.  Mr.  Fiske  was  re- 
tiring m  his  disposition,  finding  his  chief  enjoyment  in  his 
family.  His  sunny  and  kindly  disposition  rendered  his  home 
life  a  very  happy  one.  His  charities  were  unostentatious  and 
seldom  extended  where  publicity  would  be  given  to  his  acts. 
Deserving  young  people  struggling  to  improve  their  condi- 
tion strongly  appealed  to  his  sympathies.  He  was  a  firm  be- 
liever in  the  cardinal  doctrines  of  Christianity  and  all  his  life 
was  guided  by  their  teachings  and  precepts.  Though  a  Repub- 
lican in  politics,  he  was  never  an  intense  partisan,  nor  did  he 
have  the  least  desire  for  public  office.     His  aim  was  to  dis-

Fiske,  in  Wrentham,  Mass.,  until  1836,  when  he  came  to  Detroit,  and  went  into 
the  hardware  business  with  his  relative  Coggeshall,  thinking  a  more  active  life 
better  for  his  health.  Afterward  he  engaged  in  the  lumber  business  until  a  year 
or  two  before  his  death,  failing  health  obliging  him  to  give  up  all  care.  He  d.

in  that  section  of  the  town  of  Sturbridge,  Worcester  County,  Mass.,  known  as 
Fiske  Hill.  He  graduated  from  Bi  own  University  in  1826  at  the  age  of  20,  and 
from  Harvard  medical  in  1829.  He  commenced  the  practice  of  medicine  in  his 
native  town,  continuing  in  active  practice  till  about  1864.  He  was  prominently 
connected  with  the  educational  and  agricultural  interests  of  the  town  as  well  as 
the  medical  societies  of  the  county,  in  all  of  which  he  was  elected  to  positions  of 
honor  and  trust.  After  the  death  of  his  wife,  in  1866  he  came  to  Chicago, 
111.,  and  in  1870  was  married  to  Mrs.  Mary  A.  Hetfield,  who  still  survives  him. 
He  was  a  great  sufferer,  both  physically  and  financially,  by  the  Chicago  fire.  In  1872

of  Anny  Fiske,  of  Sturbridge,  widow  of  Daniel,  was  probated  Feb.  7,  i860.  Men- 
tions son,  Lucius  C,  Henry  M.,  and  George  D.  and  daughter  Sarah.  In  the  town 
of  Sturbridge,  Mass.,  is  a  rise  of  land  (and  a  very  sightly  place,  too,)  which 
has  gone  by  the  name  of  "Fisk  Hill"  for  more  than  150  years.  Henry  M.  was 
born  there  and  lived  on  a  farm  fifty-six  years.     His  father  and  mother  were  born

lived  and  died  there.  His  father's  father  was  born  and  lived  there  between  fifty  and 
sixty  years,  but  died  in  Woodstock,  N.  Y.  His  mother's  father  and  mother  were 
born,  lived  and  died  there.  They,  together  with  his  father  and  mother,  died  on  the 
same  farm  that  Henry  lived  on  fifty-six  years.  At  one  time  there  were  seven 
families  by  the  name  of  Fisk  living  on  the  Hill,  and  there  was  no  family  by  any 
other  name.  Henry  can  recollect  when  there  were  five  families  of  Fisk's,  and  only 
two  by  any  other  name.  His  sister  Sarah  and  himself  were  the  last  ones  to 
leave  the  Hill,  but  they  still  live  in  plain  sight  of  the  old  farm,  about  two  miles 
away.  They  have  outlived  all  their  relatives  that  are  nearer  than  cousins;  no 
uncles  or  aunts,  nephews  or  nieces.     He  d.  Dec.  7,   1859;  res.  Sturbridge,  Mass.

He  d.  Apr.  13,  1896,  in  one  of  the  houses  on  a  farm  on  Fisk 
Hill,  Sturbridge.  He  was  born  and  lived  and  worked  at  farm- 
ing the  first  fifty-six  years  of  his  life.  He  presumes 
if  his  mother  was  living  she  would  say  that  he  made 
more  work  than  he  did  in  the  first  years  of  his 
life;  still  he  lived  there.  He  sold  the  farm  and  moved 
to  Southbridge  and  spent  the  rest  of  his  life  there. 
For  a  few  years  after  he  went  there  he  worked  in  a  machine 
shop  and  kept  a  hotel.  The  rest  of  the  time  he  has  been  in  no 
business.  On  that  farm  his  mother,  a  daughter  of  Henry  Fiske, 
was  born,  and  lived  there  till  she  was  married.  He  was  a  man 
of  thoroughly  upright,  honorable,  Christian  character,  a  loyal 
citizen  and  a  true  and  faithful  friend.  His  kindly,  genial 
nature  endeared  him  to  all  who  came  into  contact  with  him, 
and  his  integrity  commanded  universal  respect.

Apr.  4,  1814;  d.  Aug..  1889.  Samuel  Lyon  Fiske,  son  of  Samuel  and  Sally  Lyon 
Fiske,  was  born  at  SoutTibridge.  Mass.  As  a  youth  remarkably  precocious  and 
with  maturity  developed  remarkable  ability  and  strength  of  character.  Associated 
with  Sayles  &  Merriam,  he  became  at  21  agent  of  the  Hamilton  Woolen  Company, 
and  planned  and  built  that  company's  water  power,  mill  building  and  houses. 
The  crisis  of  1846  when  the  change  in  tariff  prostrated  so  many  woolen  industries 
compelled  the  company  to  make  great  changes  in  plant  and  make  worsted  delaines, 
then  a  new  fabric,  instead  of  broadcloth,  which  had  been  their  product.  At  this 
period  his  genius  was   especially   demonstrated,    as  the   change   was   successfully

inaugurated,  and  later  the  plant  was  greatly  increased  by  the  building  of  print 
works.  Unfortunately  the  strain  on  his  system  was  so  great  that  his  health 
broke  down  and  the  death,  at  this  critical  period  in  his  career,  of  his  firm  friend, 
Willard  Sayles.  the  head  of  and  largest  stockholder  in  the  company  created 
changes  in  the  organization  and  put  another  man  in  control.  His  future  career 
was  varied,  but  he  never  failed  in  successfully  conducting  any  undertaking.  He 
died  in  Philadelphia  at  the  early  age  of  54-  He  was  always  a  stanch  Republican, 
and  an  advocate  of  protection  principles.  A  strong  temperance  advocate,  never 
touched  intoxicating  liquors  or  tobacco.  He  was  honored  and  respected  by  all 
who  knew  him.     He  d.  in  Sept.,   1869;  res.  Southbridge.   Mass.

She  was  own  cousin  of  Col.  Sam  Colt,  inventor  of  the  revolver;  m.  2d,  1852.  Her 
mother,  whose  maiden  name  was  Hopkins,  had  a  wide  connection  with  clergymen, 
generally  of  the  orthodox  Congregational  variety,  from  Jonathan  Edwards, 
senior,  down  to  Rev.  Joseph  Worcester,  of  Chicago,  whose  grandmother,  wife  of 
Rev.  Leonard  Worcester,  D.  D.,  of  Peacham,  Vt.,  was  sister  of  the  wife  of  Ben- 
jamin Colt,  of  Brookfield,  Vt.  Rev.  Jeremiah  Porter,  who  died  a  year  or  so  ago 
in  Chicago,  over  80  years  of  age,  who,  it  is  said,  preached  the  first  sermon  ever  de- 
livered in  Chicago,  was  also  a  relative.  The  first  twenty-five  years  of  Leonard's  life 
were  spent  in  Randolph  and  in  the  adjoining  town  of  Brookfield.  After  his  mar- 
riage in  1824  he  lived  for  about  tw^o  years  in  Albany,  Vt.,  then  returned  to  Brook- 
field. Learned  trade  of  cutting  marble  gravestones,  and  went  into  that  business 
in  Montpelier  about  1830.  In  1835  removed  to  Castlcton,  Rutland  Co.,  Vt.,  where 
he  remained  till  the  death  of  his  wife  there  in  1841.  He  married  again  in  1852  in 
Concord,  N.  H.  Had  one  son  of  this  marriage,  Frank  P.  Fisk,  born  June  14,  1857, 
in  Guernsey  Co.,  Ohio  (This  Frank  P.  is  now  (1895)  teacher  of  piano  and  organ 
in  Kansas  City,  Mo.).  He  followed  his  son  Solon  to  Bloomington,  111.,  and  died 
there  very  suddenly,  dropping  on  the  street  while  walking  to  his  son's  house  and 
dying  without  speaking.     He  d.  Dec.  6,  1878;  res.  Albany,  Vt.

the  naval  academy  at  Anna'^olis,  ^Nld.,  and  was  there  when  the 
war  broke  out.  He  resigned  and  joined  the  Confederate  army. 
In  1864  he  resided  in  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  and  later  moved  to  Fort 
Scott,  Kan.  He  had  three  children,  and  after  his  death  his 
widow  res.  in  Washington,  D.  C.  He  was  an  unusually  bright 
and  interesting  boy,  and  at  the  age  of  17  was  sent  to  the  naval 
academy  at  Annapolis,  Md.  There  he  associated  largely  with 
southern  gentlemen  and  lads  of  his  own  age,  and  became  im- 
bued with  southern  prejudices  and  principles.  This  feeling  was 
fostered  largely  by  frequent  visits  from  ex-Governor  Hunter,  of 
North  Carolina,  who  took  special  pains  to  gain  the  confidence 
and  corrupt  the  principles  of  the  students.  He  visited  them 
often  and  of  course  presented  his  views  in  persuasive  language 
and  brilliant  colors.  He  succeeded  but  too  well.  One  hundred 
and  fifty  resigned  at  one  time,  James  among  them,  which  nearly 
killed  his  father.

12,  1856.  She  was  dau.  of  Lieut.  Reuben  Eames,  of  Revolutionary  fame  and  direct 
descendant  of  Thomas  Eames,  of  Dedham.  who  came  to  America  as  early  as  1634. 
David  Fiske,  Jr.,  descended  from  good  Puritan  stock  from  three  lines,  Fiskes, 
Babcocks,  Lelands,  and  was  a  noble  speciman  of  manhood  of  the  times;  honor- 
able, quiet,  unassuming  in  his  manners  and  dealings,  and  acquired  property  suffi- 
cient to  purchase  a  large  farm,  and  occupied  and  improved  well.  In  the  year 
1815,  there  occurred  a  very  severe  storm  of  wind,  very  much  like  the  western  cy- 
clones, but  at  that  time  such  storms  were  unknown  here,  and  never  have  occurred 
since.  At  that  time  there  was  a  very  great  damage  to  buildings,  orchards  and 
forest  trees.  He  was  the  owner  of  a  large  forest  of  pine,  hemlock  and  other 
woods,  which  was  destroyed  and  laid  low;  and  this  storm  has  always  been  designat- 
ed by  the  men  of  those  days  as  the  Great  Blow.  In  trying  to  recuperate  his  fallen 
fortunes  he  set  himself  to  converting  the  fallen  trees  into  lumber  as  speedily  as 
possible,  and  thus  overworked  his  natural  strength  and  he  died  of  typhoid  fever  at 
the  age  of  53  years.     He  d.   May  24,   1816;  res.   Holliston,   Mass.

Abner  Morse,  A.  M.,  in  his  history  of  inhabitants  of  the  towns  of  Sherborn  and 
Holliston,  on  page  86,  writes  as  follows:  Timothy  Fisk,  A.  M.,  M.  D.,  M.  M.  S.  S., 
graduated  from  Harvard  University  1801,  subsequently  studied  medicine,  settled  in 
his  native  town  and  was  her  first  regularly  educated  physician.  His  course  from 
the  first  was  marked  with  that  modesty  and  gentlemanly  bearing  which  cultivation 
insures,  and  which  are  equally  removed  from  the  swaggering  pretensions  of  empiri- 
cism and  the  low  and  vile  arts  of  rude  and  jealous  rivalry.  His  skill  was  soon 
appreciated  and  his  conduct  rewarded  in  a  wide  practice.  This  he  retained  to  the 
great  advantage  of  the  public,  for  a  series  of  years,  seldom  attained  by  a  laborious 
physician.  He  has  long  held  a  high  reputation  abroad,  shared  largely  in  the  con- 
fidence of  the  faculty;  ever  maintained  the  strictest  regard  for  moral  virtue;  and 
he  cannot  fail  of  being  long  remembered  as  the  beloved  physician.  He  had  sons:

excellent  business  man:  superintendent  and  manufacturer  of  woolen  goods  in  H.. 
and  accumulated  a  fair  fortune.  He  was  selected  by  the  business  men  of  Hollis- 
ton. about  the  year  1820,  to  go  to  South  America  to  look  after  some  very  im- 
portant business,  as  their  financial  agent,  which  proved  successful  in  the  end.  But 
not  being  accustomed  to  the  living  and  climate,  he  sickened  and  died  with  fever 
in  1822.  A  noble  man,  beloved  by  all  who  knew  him,  his  friends  erected  a  marble 
monument  to  his  memory  in  the  Central  Cemetery  in  Holliston.  He  d.  in  Santa

Apr.  20,  1825;  d.  Aug.  18,  1883.  Edward  R.  Fiske  was  a  printer  and  publisher  of 
assured  position  in  Worcester,  one  of  the  oldest  in  the  city,  and  once  a  prominent 
newspaper  man.  He  was  born  in  Holden,  Worcester  county,  Mass.,  and  spent 
his  boyhood  there.  In  Oct.,  1837,  he  came  to  Worcester,  and  commenced  work- 
ing at  the  printer's  trade  with  Mirick  &  Bartlett,  on  the  Worcester  Palladium  and 
Worcester  Republican,  the  latter  being  afterward  merged  in  the  Palladium.  The 
papers  were  published  in  the  Central  Exchange.  In  May,  1841,  Mr.  Fiske  formed 
a  partnership  with  Samuel  D.  Church,  and  in  connection  with  job  printing,  pub- 
lished the  Worcester  Waterfall,  a  temperance  paper,  afterward  burned  in  the 
fire  of  the  Central  Exchange,  1843.  After  the  fire,  Church  &  Fiske  having  sold 
the  Waterfall,  printed  the  Palladium  in  the  Central  Exchange,  which  was  rebuilt. 
From  this  time  until  1851  he  spent  a  few  months  printing  the  State  Sentinel,  a  year 
as  bookkeeper  in  Clinton,  and  the  remainder  of  the  time  as  bookkeeper  in  the 
ofifice  of  the  Worcester  Spy.  In  1851  he  began  business  as  a  book  and  job  printer 
in  Flagg's  block,  opposite  the  Bay  State  House,  and  was  burned  out  there  in 
1853.  In  Apr.,  1855,  he  purchased  the  daily  and  weekly  Transcript,  with  Werden 
Reynolds,  which  they  published  for  one  year.  From  this  time  until  his  death  he 
continued  uninterruptedly  the  book  and  job  printing  busine>s,  publishing  in 
connection  with  it  the  Worcester  Daily  Press,  from  Apr.,  1873,  to  Dec,  1874,  when, 
on  account  of  ill  health  he  relinquished  his  interest  in  the  Press  to  his  partner, 
J.  A.  Spalding.  His  printing  ofifice  was  widely  known  as  "The  Franklin  Printing 
Office."  Mr.  Fiske  was  a  member  of  All  Saints'  (Episcopal)  Church,  and  was  at 
one  time  largely  identified  with  its  interests.  He  was  a  member  of  the  vestry  for 
nine  years,  from  1870  to  1879,  being  its  clerk  in  1870.  He  was  also 
active  in  the  Sunday  school,  serving  as  superintendent  for  awhile.  He 
was  a  member  of  the  City  Council  for  two  years,  1872  and  1873;  of 
Montacute  Lodge  A.  F.  &  A.  M. ;  and  of  the  Worcester  Typothetae,  the  organiza- 
tion of  master  printers  of  the  city  of  Worcester.  He  was  in  ill  health  for  some 
months  before  his  death,  which  occurred  at  Mt.  Holyoke,  Northampton,  Mass., 
June  29,  1891.  On  June  20,  1844,  he  married  Rebecca  Haskell  Sumner,  of  Beverly,

studied  medicine,  and  became  a  prominent  and  successful  physician  in  Ripley  Co., 
Indiana.  In  1857  was  elected  to  the  State  Senate  on  the  Democratic  ticket.  In

When  the  call  for  volunteers  was  made  in  1863  he  was  one  of 
the  first  to  enlist  in  Company  E.,  Fifth  lUionis  Volunteer  Caval- 
ry, and  served  until  the  close  of  the  war.  Returning  home  with 
honors,  he  worked  at  his  trade  and  studied  medicine,  believ- 
ing that  he  was  better  fitted  for  the  latter  vocation  in  life.  In 
1871  he  began  the  practice  of  medicine  at  Springfield,  Mo., 
under  the  able  tutorship  of  his  brother,  Francis  H.  Fisk,  M.  D. 
In  1873  he  returned  to  Olney,  111.,  to  assist  his  father,  whose 
health  was  rapidly  declining.  After  his  father's  death,  which 
sad  event  occurred  July  22,  1874,  he  took  up  the  entire  prac- 
tice, continuing  successfully  until  1878,  when,  feeling  that  the 
invigorating  gulf  breeze  of  the  southwest  would  rebuild  his 
overtaxed  constitution,  he  decided  to  move  to  Texas,  since 
which  time  he  has  devoted  his  exclusive  attention  to  the  study 
and  treatment  of  nervous  diseases  of  men  and  women,  build- 
ing up  an  enviable  reputation  over  his  competitors,  and  today 
Dr.  R.  W.  Fisk  stands  pre-eminently  at  the  head  of  his  well 
chosen  profession  in  the  special  branches  he  has  outlined.  The 
Fort  Worth  (Texas)  Gazette,  says  editorially:  "Dr.  R.  W. 
Fisk. — This  distinguished  physician,  located  permanently  in 
Fort  Worth  about  three  years  ago,  and  has  built  up  an  enviable 
I  reputation  in  the  treatment  and  cure  of  chronic  nervous  dis- 

eases of  men  and  women  and  catarrh.  His  success  has  been 
marvelous  in  curing  diseases  that  baffled  the  skill  of  the  best 
physicians  in  our  city  or  State.  Hundreds  in  this  and  adjoin- 
ing States  who  have  been  cured  by  this  skillful  physician  will 
long  sing  his  praises.  Dr.  Fisk  is  an  affable  gentleman,  modest 
and  unassuming  for  one  of  his  ability  and  attainments.  In  his 
relations  with  all  with  whom  he  comes  in  contact  he  is  uniform- 
ly courteous  and  kind.  Dr.  Fisk  has  cured  many  who  were 
without  hope,  languishing  on  the  bed  with  disease  that  bafifled 
the  most  learned  physicians.  Under  his  treatment  they  im- 
provCj  as  if  by  the  magical  touch  of  one  inspired.  Dr.  Fisk  has 
carried  sunshine  and  gladness  into  many  households  where  once 
the  dark  gloom  of  disease  enshrouded  the  hearthstone.  Many 
friends  and  patients  join  in  their  approving  voice  to  swell  the 
grand  chorus  that  goes  up  from  all  over  the  land  in  his  praise 
and  honor.  May  he  live  long  to  do  much  good  for  his  skill 
is  marvelous."

Judith  Decrow,  of  Lincolnvi'.le,  Me.,  b.  June  8,  1828.     He  was  one  of  the  California 

pioneers  in  1849,  going  around  Cape 
Horn — a  six  months'  passage.  He  re- 
turned in  1850  and  started  again  from 
Wilmington,  sixty  miles  west  of  Chicago, 
111.,  with  a  train  of  three  wagons,  across 
the  great  plains— a  six  inonths'  tramp. 
He  returned  in  1855  and  settled  in  Bil- 
lerica  on  his  place  which  he  has  named 
"Elmore,"  from  the  fact  that  a  group  of 
four  large  American  elms  overshadow  a 
l)eautiful  lawn.  The  youngest  tree  was 
planted  the  same  year  as  the  erection  of 
the  house,  in  1796.  There  he  has  for

FISKE  GENEALOGY.  409 


this  sketch  received  an  excellent  education,  studied  law  and  was  in  due  course  of 
time  admitted  to  the  bar.  He  has  practiced  since  continuously,  until  his  retire- 
ment, in  the  courts  of  the  State  of  Kentucky.  He  has  been  one  of  the  most  prom- 
inent citizens  in  Covington,  Ky.  He  has  been  president  of  two  academies  in  Ken- 
tucky, president  of  the  school  board  in  Covington,  Ky. ;  several  times  attorney  of 
the  city — called  city  attorney;  several  times  county  attorney;  eight  years  State 
Senator;  part  of  the  time  president  of  the  Senate  and  thus  ex-officio  Lieutenant- 
Governor.  He  has  been  through  all  the  grades  of  Odd  Fellowship,  including 
Grand  Master  of  this  State — that  is  of  the  L  O.  O.  F.,  and  Grand  Representative 
of  the  Sovereign  Grand  Lodge,  L  O.  O.  F.,  of  the  United  States;  at  present  a 
director  in  the  Covington  and  Cincinnati  (Suspension)  Bridge  Company;  director 
in  the  Covington  Gas  Company;  director  in  the  First  National  Bank  of  Covington, 
Ky. ;  president  of  Highland  Cemetery;  president  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  the 
First  Christian  Church,  and  vice-president  of  the  Covington  Protestant  Children's 
Home.  One  of  the  religious  papers  in  Kentucky  in  referring  to  Gov.  Fisk  says: 
"Last  Saturday,  Gov.  John  F.  Fisk  celebrated  his  8oth  birthday  by  a  family  re- 
union, at  the  old  home  on  Eleventh  Street.  It  was  a  very  enjoyable  affair.  Brother 
Fisk  has  held  many  honorable  positions  in  the  gift  of  the  people,  and  his  familj^  is 
one  of  which  he  can  be  justly  proud.  He  has  been  one  of  the  pillars  of  this  church 
for  many  years,  and  we  all  hope  he  may  be  spared  yet  a  long  while  to  aid  us  by 
his  counsel  and  timely  advice.  As  was  truly  said  at  the  reunion,  he  is  the  highest 
of  God's  creation — a  Christian  gentleman."  In  Jan.,  1879,  at  the  invitation  of  the 
Mexican  minister,  a  company  of  merchants  and  others  visited  Mexico.  There 
were  nearly  one  hundred  of  them.  The  first  night  out  of  Chicago — the  starting 
point— they  organized  under  the  name  of  "The  American  Industrial  Deputation," 
elected  officers,  and  appointed  Governor  Fisk  president.  Under  this  organization 
they  visited  Mexico  as  the  guests  of  the  Republic,  remained  there  one  month,

13,  1836;  m.  at  Knowlton,  Canada,  June  5.  i860,  Ellen  Maria  Knowlton, 

b.  Feb.  8,  1836.  John  Manson  Fisk,  the 
subject  of  this  sketch,  was  born  at  Ab- 
botsford, P.  Q.,  Dec,  13,  1836,  and  is  the 
third  son  of  Nathaniel  Fisk  and  grand- 
son of  Capt.  Cotton  Fisk,  a  United  Em- 
pire Loyalist,  who  came  from  Epping,  N. 
H.,  to  Canada  in  1788.  John,  one  of  the 
four,  as  soon  as  he  was  old  enough, 
worked  on  the  farm  during  the  summer 
months  and  attended  school  in  winter, 
finishing  his  education  at  the  age  of  18 
possession  of  his  father's  farm  in  1840, 
he  married  Ellen  Maria  Knowlton,  by 
which  marriage  there  were  ten  children 
at  the  Granby  Academy.  Coming  into 
born,  five  sons  and  five  daughters,  all 
attaining  maturity,  excepting  the  two 
youngest  sons  who  died  in  infancy.  As 
one  of  the  leading  agriculturists  of  his 
county,  he  has  been  called  to  fill  various 
positions  of  trust,  doing  duty  for  thirteen 
years  as  a  member  of  the  local  council, 
a  member  of  the  school  board,  and  fill- 
ing other  minor  positions  in  municipal 
oiSce.  He  was  appointed  a  Justice  of 
the  Peace  by  the  Lieutenant-Governor 
of  the  Province  in  1882.  At  an  early 
period  of  his  life  he  developed  a  taste  for

years  has  been  engaged  in  the  nursery  business,  and  as  a  fruit  grower  becoming  an 
authority  of  some  note  on  the  fruits  of  his  Province.  United  with  others  of  sim- 
ilar tastes,  who,  in  1874,  succeeded  in  organizing  a  Fruit  Grower's  Association  at 
Abbotsford,  he  was  elected  one  of  its  chief  officers,  and  for  several  years  has  filled 
the  position  as  president.  This  society  published  the  first  fruit  list  for  the  Province 
of  Quebec  in  1875,  and  for  many  years  entered  largely  into  experimental  work  and 
the  introduction  of  new  fruits,  which  have  become  widely  known  through  the  dis- 
semination of  its  trees  and  collections  of  fruits  which  have  appeared  on  most  of 
the  exhibition  tables  of  the  Province  from  time  to  time,  as  well  as  on  those  of  the 
Centennial  at  Philadelphia  in  1876,  the  Intercolonial  and  Indian  at  London,  Eng- 
land, in  1886,  and  the  World's  Fair  in  Chicago  in  1893.  Feeling  the  need  of  a 
Provincial  organization  and  associating  himself  with  other  leading  fruit  growers 
of  the  Province,  application  was  made  to  the  Provincial  Legislature  for  incorpora- 
tion, which  was  granted  by  the  government  in  January,  1894,  under  the  name  of 
"The  Pomological  and  Fruit  Growing  Society  of  the  Province  of  Quebec."  A 
meeting  was  convened  during  the  following  month  at  Abbotsford  for  the  i)urpose 
of  organizing  and  electing  a  board  of  directors,  when  Mr.  Fisk  was  honored  by 
becoming  the  first  president  of  the  new  society.  In  politics  a  liberal  conservative, 
and  in  religion  an  Episcopalian,  having  from  early  childhood  been  closely  asso-

the  spring  to  help  his  father  on  the  farm  at  Abbotsford.  He 
went  to  Knowlton  again  the  following  fall  for  another  winter 
in  the  academy,  and  it  was  after  returning  to  Abbotsford  again 
that  he  decided  to  study  medicine,  and  immediately  commenced 
work  on  the  subjects  necessary  for  his  matriculation  in  the 
College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  the  Province  of  Que- 
bec, studying  evenings  after  the  day's  work  on  the  farm  was 
over.  In  Oct.,  1890,  he  entered  the  high  school  at  Granby, 
P.  Q.,  and  the  following  spring  he  took  with  honors  the  degree 
of  associate  in  arts  from  McGill  University.  He  continued  his 
studies  during  the  winter  of  1891-92  at  the  Granby  high  school,

he  commenced  the  four  years'  course  of  medical  study  at  Mc- 
Gill University,  Montreal.  During  his  final  year  there  he  was 
elected  by  his  fellow  students  to  the  position  of  president  of 
the  Undergraduates  Medical  Society.  Graduating  with  first 
class  honors,  he  received  from  the  university  on  the  31st  of 
March,  1896,  the  degree  of  doctor  of  medicine  and  master  of 
surgery.  Dr.  Fisk  then  applied  for  the  position  of  resident

education  was  obtained  at  the  public  schools  at  Abbotsford,  Granby,  Lennoxville 
and  McGill  College,  Montreal,  all  in  the  Province  of  Quebec,  Canada.  While  at 
Lennoxville,  in  the  fall  of  1857,  he  unfortunately  met  with  an  accident  to  his  right 
knee  which  necessitated  his  using  crutches  for  the  two  following  years.  In  June, 
i860,  he  went  to  England  for  a  trip  for  his  health,  returning  much  benefited. 
In  Dec,  i860,  he  went  to  Montreal  and  entered  the  office  of  Dr.  Aldis  Bernard, 
surgeon  dentist,  to  study  said  profession,  and  became  a  pupil  of  Dr.  Bernard. 
After  remaining  w-ith  the  doctor  until  the  21st  of  February,  1861,  he  was  accepted 
and  indentured  to  him  for  two  years,  having  to  pay  him  $200  and  board  himself; 
also  having  to  attend  lectures  at  McGill  College,  with  the  understanding  that  he 
•was  to  become  a  partner  at  the  end  of  the  two  years.  Unfortunately  when  his 
time  was  up  his  health  was  so  broken  from  hard  study  and  work  that  his  doctor 
ordered  him  out  of  the  city  and  to  take  a  long  holiday.  In  May,  1863,  he  left  the 
city  and  went  knocking  about  the  townships,  returning  every  few  months  to  Dr.

lespie, b.  there  Nov.  12,  1849.  Rev.  Nathaniel  B.  Fisk  was  born  in  Abbotsford,  P.  Q., 
Mar.  4,  1848,  son  of  Sewell  Cotton  Fisk  and  Mary  Ann  Gorton.  In  1866  he  entered  the 
New  Hampshire  Conference  Seminary,  where  he  graduated,  taking  immediately 
thereafter  the  theological  course  at  the  Boston  University,  from  which  he  gradu- 
ated in  1871.  He  was  ordained  a  deacon  in  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  at 
Lynn,  Apr.  6,  1873,  and  an  elder  at  Springfield,  Apr.  11,  1875.  He  has  occupied 
stations  in  the  New  England  Conference  since  1871,  all  his  pastorates  being  three 
years.  He  has  had  a  grand  record  as  pastor,  winning  all  hearts  to  himself,  and 
directly  leading  multitudes  to  the  Savior  of  men.  His  preaching  is  strong,  pathet- 
ic, convincing.  He  moves  men.  He  is  a  man  of  intense  energy  and  tireless  in- 
dustry. This  is  his  fourth  year  at  Chicopee  Falls,  and  the  church  under  his  lead 
has  reached  its  most  prosperous  history,  with  a  Sunday  school  of  more  than  300 
members  and  a  church  membership  of  275  members  in  full  and  43  probation.  It 
has  today  the  largest  Sunday  school  and  largest  congregation  of  any  church  in  the 
city.  He  built  a  fine  church  at  Upton,  Mass.  The  elegant  Grace  Church  at  Cam- 
bridge, a  $6,000  parsonage  at  Ashburnham,  besides  raising  $14,000  to  pay  off  the 
debt  on  the  Ashburnham  Church.  He  secured  the  gift  of  a  $7,000  parsonage 
from  his  personal  friend,  Hon.  Luman  Tufts  at  Hudson.  While  at  Grace  Church, 
Cambridge,  Mr.  Fisk  was  invited  by  the  pastor,  official  board  and  the  presiding 
elder  to  take  the  assistant  pastorate  of  People's  Church,  Boston,  but  declined.  He 
was  also  offered  the  business  management  of  the  New  England  Conservatory  of 
Music,  having  2,250  pupils.  Since  coming  to  Chicopee  Falls  he  has  declined  an 
offer  of  $4,000  per  year,  with  a  guarantee  for  five  years,  and  also  an  interest  in  the 
business,  if  he  would  take  charge  of  a  stock  company  in  Boston,  as  business  man- 
ager. His  record  of  2.200  pastoral  calls  last  year  shows  him  to  be  abundant  in 
labors.  In  1872  Mr.  Fisk  was  married  to  Miss  Katherine  Gillespie,  who  has  la- 
bored with  him  earnestly  in  the  gospel.     In  1878  he  enjoyed  a  protracted  vacation

dau.  of  Lieut.-Col.  E.  B.  David,  b.  July  29,  1852.  His  life  up  to  the  death  of  his 
father  in  1861  was  a  very  easygoing,  uneventful  one,  his  time  being  mostly  spent 
at  the  schools  of  the  district  and  adjacent  towns.  Being  the  youngest  son  and  at 
that  period  the  only  one  at  home,  his  father's  death  threw  the  care  of  the  farm  and 
postoffice  upon  him,  and  his  life  for  a  few  years  was  an  active  and  rather  laborious 
one  but  he  found  leisure  to  prosecute  his  studies  and  in  1865  he  was  indentured  to 
Mr.'  Houghton,  barrister  of  Montreal,  and  entered  upon  the  study  of  law  at  Mc- 
Gill  College.  In  1866  his  articles  of  indenture  were  transferred  to  his  cousin,  John 
J.  C.  Abbott,  Q.  C,  then  the  leading  lawyer  in  the  city  and  afterward  Sir  John  Ab- 
bott, premier  of  the  Dominion  of  Canada.  In  May,  1868,  he  received  the  degree 
of  B.  C.  L.  from  McGill  College,  and  in  the  month  of  December  following  was 
admitted  to  the  practice  of  the  law.  After  spending  two  years  in  the  practice  of 
his  profession  in  Montreal,  he  removed  to  Coaticook  in  1871  where  he  has  since 
resided.  He  married  Aleyda  E.  David,  daughter  of  the  late  Lieutenant-Colonel 
David,  of  Montreal.  After  an  active  and  successful  practice  of  his  profession  for 
ten  years  he  became  interested  in  manufacturing  industries,  and  in  1881  assumed 
the  management  of  an  extensive  knitting  industry  in  his  town  and  is  at  present  at 
the  head  of  the  Lenman  Manufacturing  Company  there,  a  wealthy  corporation  con- 
trolling a  number  of  factories  both  in  this  Province  and  in  Ontario.  He  has  taken 
an  active  interest  in  politics,  and  usually  directs  the  political  contests  in  his  section 
of  that  county  in  the  interests  of  the  liberal  conservative  party;  res.  Coaticook,

place  at  Otter  Creek.  He  moved  to  Moira,  N.  Y.,  married  there,  and  in  1840  went 
West  to  Michigan.  As  no  tidings  have  ever  been  received  of  him  the  family 
always  supposed  he  was  murdered.     He  d.  in  Michigan;  res.  Moira,  N.  Y. 

4397.  i.  ALMON  PERRY,  b.  July  10,  1835.  It  is  probable  that  Mr.  Fisk 
has  the  distinction  of  being  the  oldest  dry  goods  merchant 
in  Rock  Island  coun- 
ty, 111.  He  is  a  native 
of  Northern  New 
York  and  spent  the 
first  ten  years  of  his 
adult  life  in  railway 
service.  He  then  went 
to  Geneseo,  111.,  and 
engaged  in  the  dry 
goods  business  for  ten 
years  after,  which  he 
located  in  Moline,  the 
date  being  1873.  As 
proprietor  of  the  Bos- 
ton Store  he  has  had 
several  of  the  best  lo- 
cations in  the  city  and 
his  removals  have 
been  due  to  the  chang- 
ing course  of  business. 
The  new  store  in  the 
Rosenstein  bock, 
which  he  will  occupy 
before  Nov.  i,  1896,  is 
to  be  the  most  ele- 
gantly fitted  and  fur- 
nished store  m  that  city.  Mr.  Fisk  is  a  shrewd  buyer.  As  a 
merchant  he  is  successful  and  as  a  citizen  has  hosts  of  friends 
who  hold  him  in  high  esteem.

in  New  York  State,  but  shortly  after  marriage  resided  at  South  Hero,  an 
island  in  Lake  Champlain.  He  sold  out  there  in  1852  and  moved  to  Moira,  N.  Y., 
where  he  purchased  a  farm.  The  following  winter  he  met  with  an  accident  that 
incapacitated  him  from  any  kmd  of  manual  labor.  In  splitting  wood  the  axe 
glanced  and  went  into  the  left  foot.  Gangrene  set  in  before  many  weeks,  and  on 
Apr.  29,  just  three  months  after  the  accident,  it  was  amputated;  even  then  it  did 
not  get  along  well,  for  the  arteries  broke  out  and  another  operation  was  per- 
formed about  four  weeks  after  the  first.  He  slowly  regained  his  health,  and  for 
a  few  years  could  get  around  some  on  his  crutches,  when  a  more  terrible  affliction 
overtook  him;  for  the  last  five  or  six  years  of  his  life  he  was  totally  blind.  At 
one  time  he  had  a  fulling  mill,  on  Otter  Creek,  in  Vermont,  while  residing  in 
Weybridge,  but  it  was  swept  away  in  a  freshet.  He  d.  Dec.  18,  1863;  res.  Moira,

Phinehas,  Thomas,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Symond),  b.  Whitesboro 
(Utica),  N.  Y.,  June  10,  1792;  m.  May  29,  1816,  Sarah  Doolittle  Brown,  b.  St. 
Johnsbury,  Vt.,  Dec.  24,  1798;  d.  in  Sparta,  Wis.,  in  July,  1877.  Daniel  Fisk,  sec- 
ond son  of  Abram  and  Elizabeth  (Arnold)  Fisk,  was  born  at  Whitesboro,  N.  Y. 
(now  Utica),  June  10,  1792,  and  reared  there  and  at  Watertown,  N.  Y.,  on  his 
father's  farm  receiving  only  the  rudiments  of  an  education.  He  served  an  appren- 
ticeship at  the  trade  of  a  molder  which  he  afterward  followed  at  divers  times.  He 
served  in  the  War  of  1812  at  Sacketts  Harbor.  In  1816  he  married  Sarah  D. 
Bowen,  of  St.  Johnsbury,  Vt.,  a  daughter  of  Pelig  and  Eusebia  (Harvey)  Bowen. 
After  marriage  he  owned  and  operated  a  farm  in  Jef¥erson  County,  N.  Y.,  until 
1820,  when  he  moved  to  Ohio  and  on  to  a  farm  purchased  at  Conneaut,  Ashtabula 
County.  In  1823  he  sold  the  farm  and  returning  to  New  York  was  connected  with 
a  foundry  and  furnace  at  Rossie  until  1826,  when  he  moved  to  Springfield,  Ohio, 
where  he  purchased  lands  containing  a  bed  of  potter's  clay  and  built  a  pottery 
which  he  operated  very  successfully  until  1835,  when  he  sold  the  Springfield  prop- 
erty and  purchased  an  interest  in  a  pottery  at  Hamilton,  Ontario,  Canada,  and  a 
gypsum  bed  near  that  place.  In  1836  he  built  a  pottery  at  Cleveland,  Ohio,  and 
moved  his  family  there  into  a  fine  home  located  on  the  city  square,  opposite  the 
court  house.  He  was  now  a  wealthy  man  but  in  1838  the  business  failure  of  a 
partner  with  whom  he  had  become  connected  in  Cleveland  swept  away  a  large  por- 
tion of  his  property,  and  refusing  to  take  advantage  of  the  newly  enacted  bankrupt 
laws,  he  gave  up  everything,  including  his  home  in  Cleveland,  except  his  interests 
in  Canada.  He  went  to  Canada,  built  a  mill  at  his  gypsum  beds,  and  commenced 
what  proved  a  profitable  business;  but  the  locality  proved  very  unhealthful;  his  eldest 
son,  Lorenzo,  coming  over  to  assist  in  the  business,  was  taken  sick  and  died  there, 
and  his  own  health  failing  he  disposed  of  this  and  his  Hamilton  property  in  1842-45 
and  purchasing  wild  lands  near  Middleburg,  Ohio,  returned  to  his  old  occupation 
— molding — at  that  place,  improving  his  lands  from  time  to  time  as  the  opportunity 
ofifered.     In  1852  disposing  of  his  property  he  removed  with  his  own  and  the  fam-

ily  of  his  son-in-law,  W.  W.  Robinson,  to  Sparta,  Monroe  County,  Wis.,  where 
he  secured  lands  and  continued  to  live,  with  the  exception  of  a  short  sojourn  in 
Minnesota,  1859-60,  until  his  death  in  April,  1868,  devoting  his  attention  to  farming, 
though  not  exclusively,  as  he  claimed  to  have  found  a  valuable  bed  of  potter's 
clay  in  Monroe  County  and  was  gathering  means  to  purchase  the  lands  containing 
it  when  he  died,  the  secret  of  its  location  dying  with  him.  He  was  a  man  of  won- 
derful energy  and  pluck,  of  a  happy  and  rollicking  disposition,  never  cast  down  or 
discouraged.  He  died  without  a  moment's  indisposition,  seated  in  his  easy  chair, 
nearly  76  years  of  age,  but  in  manner  and  carriage  not  more  than  50.  His  widow 
survived  him  ten  years,  dying  in  1878.  He  d.  in  Apr.,  1868;  res.  Watertown,  N.  Y.,

Wallace  Robinson.  He  was  b.  Fair  Haven,  Vt.,  Dec.  14,  1819; 
res.  Wildwood,  Wis.  William  Wallace  Robinson  (husband  of 
Sarah  Jane  Fisk),  son  of  John  Williams  and  Rebecca  (Merritt) 
Robinson,  is  a  descendant  in  the  seventh  generation  from  John 
Robinson  of  Leyden,  Holland,  Fame  ("the  Puritan  Father"). 
Born  at  Fair  Haven,  Vt.,  Dec.  14,  1819,  he  received  his  educa- 
tion in  the  common  schools  of  Vermont  and  Castleton  Semi- 
nary and  Rutland  Academy,  graduating  from  the  last  named 
when  19  years  of  age.  He  also  took  a  course  at  the  Norwich 
Military  Academy.  From  1838  to  1840  he  taught  school  in  his 
native  State  and  New  Jersey,  when  he  went  to  Cleveland,  Ohio, 
and  in  company  with  Wm.  Murphy,  a  professor  of  languages 
from  Philadelphia,  opened  and  conducted  for  some  years  the 
"Cleveland  High  School  and  Academy."  Feb  5,  1842,  he  mar- 
ried Sarah  Jane,  the  eldest  daughter  of  Daniel  Fisk,  and  con- 
tinued to  teach  until  war  was  declared  with  Mexico  in  1846. 
He  promptly  enlisted  with  Ohio  volunteers  and  was  elected 
First  Lieutenant  of  his  company  which  was  assigned  to  the 
Third  Regiment  Ohio  Volunteers,  as  Company  G,  his  com- 
mission bearing  date  June  12,  1846.  Oct.  26,  1846,  he  was 
promoted  Captain  of  his  company.  He  served  at  Fort  Brown 
and  Matamoras,  Carnargo,  Monterey  and  Buena  Vista,  though 
his  command  took  no  part  in  those  battles  being  engaged  on 
detached  service.  In  July,  1847,  the  terms  of  enlistment  of  the 
regiment  expiring,  the  entire  command  was  mustered  out  of 
the  service  at  New  Orleans  and  he  returned  to  Ohio  and  en- 
gaged in  farming  and  teaching  until  the  summer  of  1851,  when 
he  made  a  trip  to  Wisconsin,  locating  lands  for  himself  and 
father-in-law,  Daniel  Fisk,  at  Sparta,  [Monroe  County.  Re- 
turning to  Ohio  in  the  fall,  intending  to  move  his  family  to 
Wisconsin  in  the  spring,  he  changed  his  plans,  and  went  to 
California  himself,  leaving  his  family  with  Mr.  Fisk  who  re- 
moved with  them  to  Wisconsin  in  Sept.,  1852.  The  trip  to 
California,  overland,  consumed  six  months  to  a  day,  he  arriv- 
ing at  Whiskey  Diggings,  Sierra  County,  in  September.  He 
engaged  in  mining  for  a  few  weeks  but  soon  with  several  part- 
ners took  a  contract  to  construct  a  flume,  some  eleven  miles  in 
length,  for  the  Minnesota  Water  Company,  which  was  to 
conduct  water  from  a  mountain  stream  for  use  at  "Smiths"  and 
the  "Minnesota  Diggings."  After  completing  this  job  he  en- 
gaged in  various  enterprises  of  a  more  or  less  remunerative 
character  until  the  fall  of  1855,  when  he  rejoined  his  family  at 
Sparta,  Wis.,  and  removing  during  the  winter  of  1855-56  to 
Waseca  County,  Minnesota,  founded  the  town  of  Wilton 
which  for  a  time  became  the  county  seat.  In  1858  he  ran  for 
the  State  Legislature  en  the  Democratic  ticket,  but  was  defeat- 
ed, and  was  appointed  Colonel  of  the  Ninth  Regiment  Minne- 
sota Militia,  by  Governor  Sibley.  In  1859  selling  his  Minne- 
sota property  he  returned  to  Sparta,  Wis.,  and  built  a  home

on  his  lands  near  that  village.  At  the  breaking  out  of  the 
Civil  war  he  was  engaged  in  drilling  the  first  company  raised  in 
the  county,  and  Aug.  15,  1861,  was  commissioned  Lieutenant- 
Colonel  of  the  Seventh  Regiment  Wisconsin  Volunteer  Infan- 
try, and  with  this  regiment,  which  with  four  others  constituted 
the  famous  Iron  Brigade,  he  served,  taking  part  in  every  battle 
fought  by  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  except  the  first  Bull  Run, 
Antietam  (fought  while  he  was  in  hospital  with  a  severe  wound 
received  at  battle  of  Gainesville)  and  Five  Forks.  He  was  pro- 
moted Colonel  of  the  regiment  in  Feb.,  1862,  and  was  frequent- 
ly in  command  of  the  brigade  by  reason  of  his  seniority  before 
1863,  but  from  the  morning  of  the  first  day's  fight  at  Gettys- 
burg, when  Brigadier-General  Meredith  was  wounded,  he  com- 
manded the  Iron  Brigade  through  the  bloody  campaigns  of 
1863-64  and  until  the  army  sat  down  in  the  trenches  around 
Petersburg,  when  suffering  from  sickness  and  the  breaking 
out  of  his  wound  received  in  1862  he  resigned  in  July,  1864. 
He  had  taken  part  in  over  thirty  battles  and  "affairs"  and 
though  "hit"  three  times,  received  but  one  serious  wound,  that 
at  Gainesville.  His  regiment,  the  Seventh  Wisconsin,  lost 
more  men  killed  and  wounded  by  four  than  any  other  taking 
part  in  the  war,  as  is  shown  by  the  records  of  the  War  Depart- 
ment and  recently  published.  At  the  close  of  the  war  he  was 
tendered  a  Brevet  Brigadier-General's  commission,  but  de- 
clined it.  After  somewhat  recovering  from  his  wounds  (1865), 
he  engaged  in  farming  and  lumbering,  removing  to  Chippewa 
Falls,  Wis.,  in  1874.  In  1875  he  was  appointed  United  States 
Consul  to  Madagascar  by  President  Grant,  and  undisturbed 
by  succeeding  administrations  held  that  office  until  the  fall  of 
1886,  when,  heeding  the  remonstrances  of  his  children,  he  re- 
signed and  came  home  to  spend  his  old  age  surrounded  by  his 
children  and  grandchildren.  During  his  service  in  Madagascar 
he  made  the  treaty  with  that  government  which  the  French 
at  this  writing  are  attempting  to  set  aside,  and  at  the  urgent  re- 
quest of  the  Queen  of  Madagascar  was  directed  by  our  State 
Department  to  accompany  the  Malagassy  Embassy  on  its  visit 
to  the  courts  of  Europe  and  to  the  United  States  in  1882-83 
during  its  vain  search  for  peace.  He  and  his  wife  are  now  liv- 
ing with  his  youngest  son  in  Wisconsin,  hale  and  hearty, 
though  both  are  in  their  77th  year.  He  is  a  descendant  of  the 
Rev.  John  Robinson,  the  Leyden  pastor,  b.  in  Lincolnshire, 
England,  i575;  emigrated  to  Leyden,  Holland,  in  1608,  with  his 
congregation,  and  there  formed  the  nucleus  of  the  Plymouth 
Colony  of  1620.  He  is  a  direct  descendant  of  his  through  his

breeding,  the  son  preferred  another  line  of  occupation.  Gilbert,  as  he  was  called, 
had,  in  search  of  education,  found  city  life  more  congenial  than  the  lonely  and  drear 
days  and  nights  on  a  farm.  He  soon  disposed  of  the  farm  and  removed  to  Oswe- 
go, N.  Y.  He  here  established  a  teaming  business,  which  he  conducted  with 
fair  success  for  many  years.  He  had  a  thorough  knowledge  of  horses,  and  in 
his  string  of  teams,  private  and  draft  horses,  he  had  the  pride  of  the  city,  and 
was  noted  for  his  fine  stock.  He  was  a  very  conservative  man,  strong  in  his 
political  preferences,  yet  would  never  consider  political  preferment.  But  his  Re- 
publicanism was  very  pronounced.  When  nearing  50  years  of  age,  his  health  be- 
came poor,  and  he  gave  up  business  cares,  and  sought  many  sources  for  the 
restoration  of  physical  forces,  with  limited  success.  In  this  way  he  spent  the  last 
ten  years  of  his  life,  and  after  about  four  years  of  serious  throat  trouble,  partial 
paralysis  developed,  and  he  died  at  the  age  of  64  years.  He  d.  Sept.  10,  1880;  res.

Newton,  b.  Mar.  8, 
1849.  Dr.  Edwin  Jay 
Fiske,  of  Troy,  N. 
Y.,  was  born  at 
Rome,  N.  Y.,  Dec. 
26,  1848.  While  he 
was  an  infant  his 
people  removed  to 
Oswego.  N.  Y. 
where  he  attended 
the  schools  of  that 
city  (rated  the  best 
in  the  state),  finish- 
ing there  his  studies 
in  Oswego,  in  1867, 
after  which  he  went 
to  a  preparat  ory 
school  for  one  year, 
at  Hannibal,  N.  Y. 
He  spent  the  spring 
and  summer  of  1865 
as  a  clerk  in  the  Os- 
wego postofKce,  thus 
being  a  government 
clerk  at  the.  time 
P  r  e  s  i  dent  Lincoln 
was  shot,  and  wore 
for  thirty  days  the 
customary  evidence 
of  mourning,  crape  on  the  left  arm.  In  the  spring  of  1868 
he  went  to  Albany,  N.  Y.,  to  prepare  for  a  medical  course. 
Prior  to  entering  upon  the  full  course  of  medicine,  he  took 
the  advanced  course  in  the  Boys'  Academy,  Albany,  N.  Y., 
and  following  this  course  he  took  a  six  months'  private  course 
in  study  with  Professor  Swan,  principal  of  the  above  named 
school.  Following  this  course  he  entered  the  office  of  Dr. 
Andrew  Wilson,  of  Albany,  then  the  president  of  the  Albany 
County  Medical  Society.  He  soon  became  a  favorite  of  Dr. 
Alden  March,  the  founder  of  the  Albany  Medical  College,  and 
accompanied  this  great  surgeon  to  most  of  his  capital  sur- 
gical operations  up  to  the  time  of  his  death,  which  occurred 
in  the  fall  of  1869,  the  doctor  favoring  young  Fiske,  owing 
to  his  steady  nerve,  placing  him  in  the  fore  when  there 
were  several  bleeding  arteries  to  pick  up  and  tie.  While  yet 
a  student,  in  May,   1870,  he  was  offered  and  accepted  a  posi-

tion,  with  large  advantages  for  study,  in  the  Marshall  In- 
firmary, Troy,  N.  Y.  He  remained  here  until  Sept.,  1871, 
when  he  went  to  the  City  Hospital,  Albany,  N.  Y.,  and  took 
the  final  course  at  the  college,  graduating  the  same  year, 
Dec.  26,  1871,  the  anniversary  of  his  birthday.  As  a  medical 
student  young  Fiske  was  very  popular  in  classes,  being  chair- 
man of  the  first  quiz  class,  and  one  of  the  foremost  and  officers 
of  the  football  and  baseball  teams.  He  was  elected  poet  of 
his  class,  and  on  two  occasions  replied  in  witty  verse  to  news- 
paper criticisms  of  exposure  of  canned  and  dried  anatomical 
specimens,  for  a  short  time  exposed  in  the  museum  windows, 
while  cleaning  the  museum.  After  graduating,  he  returned  to 
the  Marshall  Infirmary  as  assistant  physician,,  which  position 
he  held  until  Apr.,  1874,  when  he  was  appointed  by  the  Mayor 
of  Troy  (without  his  knowledge)  city  physician.  May  10,  1874, 
He  accepted  the  office,  left  the  Infirmary,  and  located  in  the  city. 
He  held  this  office  four  years,  when  he  resigned  and  accepted 
the  editorial  head  of  the  New  York  Medical  Brief.  He  held 
this  position  but  one  year,  finding  journalistic  work  too  severe 
and  trying.  He  returned  to  Troy,  and  has  since  confined  him- 
self to  the  advancement  of  his  knowledge  of  medicine,  keep- 
ing in  active  practice.  Dr.  Fiske  is  a  recognized  authority 
on  diseases  of  throat  and  lungs,  and  has  a  large  practice  in 
this  line,  being  much  called,  near  and  far,  in  consultation.

residence,  3038  Bryant  Avenue,  S.  Three  years  ago  the  deceased  had  a  limb  ampu- 
tated and  he  seemed  to  rally  from  all  the  effects  of  the  operation.  He  was  taken 
vi'ry  ill  and  Dr.  Golden  was  summoned  to  the  bedside.  All  was  done  that  possibly 
could  be  for  the  aged  sufferer,  but  he  sank  rapidly,  and  last  his  suffering  ended.

R.  I.,  Oct.  16,  1813;  m.  at  Smithfield,  R.  I.,  Sarah  Marchant,  b.  Sept.  5,  1814.  Mr. 
Fisk  was  born  in  Scituate,  R.  I.,  Oct.  16,  1813.  He  learned  the  trade  of  carpen- 
ter in  Providence,  and  went  to  Pawtucket  in  1836.  For  a  year  or  two  he  was 
foreman  of  the  building  operations  at  the  Dunnell  Print  Works,  and  then  went 
into  business  with  Nathaniel  Lewin,  under  the  firm  name  of  Lewin  &  Fisk,  car- 
penters and  builders.  Subsequently  Charles  E.  Kenyon  was  taken  into  the 
firm,  when  the  name  became  Lewin,  Fisk  &  Kenyon.  This  firm  built  some 
of  the  largest  mills  in  the  State  of  Rhode  Island  at  that  time,  among  them  being 
the  Atlantic  Delaine  Mill  in  Olneyville.  Mr.  Fisk  retired  from  this  firm  in  1868, 
and  entered  the  employ  of  the  Providence,  Washington,  Equitable,  Atlantic 
and    Hope    insurance    companies    as    adjuster    and    examiner.     With    the    two

companies  first  named  he  remained  until 
the  day  of  his  death,  twenty-five  years, 
but  the  Atlantic  and  Hope  companies 
went  out  of  business  at  the  time  of  the 
Chicago  fire,  at  which  time  Mr.  Fisk 
settled  claims  amounting  to  over  $l,ooo,- 
000.  During  his  connection  with  these 
companies  he  settled  thousands  of 
claims,  and  was  one  of  the  oldest  and 
best  known  insurance  adjusters  in  New 
England.  He  was  elected  one  of  the 
directors  of  the  Pawtucket  Mutual  Fire 
Insurance  Company  in  1859,  and  held 
that  position  as  long  as  he  lived,  a  pe- 
riod of  thirty-four  years,  being  the  old- 
est director  in  the  company.  He  was 
one  of  the  trustees  of  Park  Place  Church 
from  its  organization,  and  one  of  the 
building  committee  of  the  church.  He 
was  a  member  of  the  Knights  Templar 
and  in  his  younger  days  took  an  active 
part  in  that  order.  He  took  no  part 
in  politics,  but  gave  his  whole  attention 
to  business  and  was  active  and  ener- 
getic, showing  little  of  the  marks 
of  advancing  age  up  to  the  time  he  was 
taken  ill.  His  wife  was  Miss  Sarah  Mar- 
chant,  of  Yarmouth,  Mass.  She  and 
two  sons,  Stephen  F.  and  Frank  D.,  sur- 
vive him.  He  d.  May  18,  1893;  res.

FRANK  DUANE,  b.  Dec.  13,  1843;  d.  Mar.  19,  1895.  He  was 
born  in  Pawtucket,  and  was  a  son  of  the  late  Stephen  P.  Fisk. 
For  many  years  he  was  connected  with  the  firm  of  J.  E.  Cald- 
well &  Co.,  silversmiths,  of  Philadelphia,  and  later  he  was  of 
the  firm  of  Fisk  &  Co.,  druggists,  of  Pawtucket.  Of  late  years 
he  had  not  been  engaged  in  active  business  pursuits.  He  was 
greatly  attached  to  his  family,  being  especially  devoted  to  his 
aged  mother,  with  whom  he  lived,  making  brighter  her  declin- 
ing years.  During  the  War  of  the  Rebellion  he  was  a  member 
of  the  Ninth  Rhode  Island  Regiment,  and  when  Tower  Post, 
No.  17,  G.  A.  R.,  was  formed,  he  was  consequently  qualified 
to  become  one  of  its  charter  members,  and  for  two  years  he 
served  as  its  commander.  He  was  also  a  charter  member  of 
the  Pawtucket  Veteran  Firemen's  Association.  He  never  held 
public  office,  although  deeply  interested  in  whatever  concerned 
the  Democratic  party,  and  he  was  frequently  selected  as  a  dele- 
gate to  city  and  State  conventions.  He  was  kind  of  heart, 
true  to  his  friends,  and  many  will  join  the  bereaved  family  in 
mourning  his  loss.

an  early  age  he  became  a  merchant's  clerk,  and  followed  that  occupation  for  sev- 
eral jcars  in  New  York  State,  when,  upon  reaching  man's  estate,  he  married. 
Deciding  to  come  west  he  journeyed  to  Ohio.  Two  years  later  he  came  further 
weit,  and  in  1835  stopped  in  Green  Bay,  where  he  engaged  in  the  lumber  business 
and  flso  opened  a  mercantile  establishment.     In  1836  he  went  after  his  wife  and

tain sections  of  northern  Wisconsin,  and  buiU  the  first  mill  at  De  Pere.  He  also 
erected  the  first  grist  null  at  Fond  du  Lac.  In  inspecting  the  timber  lands  of  Wis- 
consin in  1835,  he  walked  over  the  territory  between  Green  Bay  and  Chicago  by 
Indian  trail.  He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  soon  after  his  arrival  at  Green  Bay,  and 
during  his  younger  years  was  an  active  politician.  He  was  Judge  of  Probate  at 
Green  Bay  in  1836;  was  appointed  Postmaster  at  Green  Bay  in  1836  and  again  in 
1846,  and  also  appointed  Register  of  the  United  States  Land  Office  in  1848.  He 
laid  out  and  platted  the  original  site  of  the  city  of  Fort  Howard,  recently  consoli- 
dated with  Green  Bay.  He  later  abandoned  the  legal  profession  for  more  active 
mercantile  pursuits,  and  in  these,  and  real  estate  investments,  amassed  a  fortune.

on  the  base  burner  self-feeding  stoves  at  the  time  of  his  death.  He  also  was  the  in- 
ventor of  the  Fisk  metallic  burial  case,  and  the  first  to  introduce  steam  power 
in  his  foundry  at  Newtown.  While  on  a  trip  to  Cuba  he  saved  the  vessel  by  his 
ingenuity,  when  it  was  given  up  for  lost  by  the  captain.  He  brought  on  a  hem- 
orrhage of  the  lungs  by  jumping  into  the  East  River  and  saving  a  drowning  boy, 
and  from  this  he  never  recovered,  and  finally  succumbed  to  lung  and  bowel 
troubles.  This  is  a  brief  history  of  a  man,  who,  if  he  had  lived,  would  have 
been  a  man  of  mark  among  inventors.  A  peculiar  fact  in  his  inventions  they  were 
dreamed  out,  and  upon  awakening  he  immediately  arose  and  put  the  facts  or  points 
in  writing,  then  returned  to  sleep  again.  He  was  six  feet  four  inches  tall,  of  mag- 
nificent physique,  and  sacrificed  his  health  and  life  for,  others.  He  d.  at  Newtown,

Cvnthia  Clark,  dau.  of  Wm.  A.,  b. 
July  28,  1828;  d.  May  18,  1886.  Hiram 
Cyrus  Fisk,  son  of  Samuel  Fisk,  was 
born  in  Isle  La  Motte,  Vt.,  Aug.  19, 
1818,  and  attended  several  academies  and 
seminaries  of  learning  and  obtained  a 
good  education.  Before  the  period  of 
adolescence  in  his  life  history  had  passed 
he  united  with  the  jNIethodist  E.  Church 
in  Isle  La  Motte,  and  during  his  life 
was  one  of  the  principal  supporters  of 
that  church.  Held  town  office  in  Isle  La 
^lotte  the  greater  part  of  the  time  he 
lived  there.  He  represented  the  town  of 
Isle  La  Motte  in  the  Legislature  of  Ver- 
mont in  the  years  1867  and  1868.  Upon 
the  death  of  his  father,  the  said  Samuel, 
Hiram  C.  Fisk  became  the  main  pro- 
prietor of  the  said  Fisk  marble  quarry, 
and  worked  the  same  more  successfully 
than  his  father  did  before  him  and  ac- 
cumulated more  property  than  his 
father  had,  being  the  wealthiest  man  in 
Isle  La  Motte  at  the  time  he  removed 
therefrom.  He  bought  the  farm  or 
homestead  once  owned  by  his  uncle, 
Solomon  Fisk,  in  Chazy,  N.  Y.,  and 
moved  there  in  1876.  He,  like  his  father, 
was  the  furthest  estranged  from  malev- 
olence, unkindness  and  enmity  to  other 
persons  under  any  circumstances.  He 
was  always  social,  generous  and  forbearing  in  his  nature,  and  was  a  public  bene- 
factor.    He  d.  Sept." 7,  1884;  res.  Isle  La  Motte,  Vt.,  and  Chazy,  N.  Y.

Esq.,  was  born  Aug.  5,  1854,  in  Isle  La  Motte,  Vt.,  and  at- 
tended the  Montpelier  Seminary  and  Fort  Edward  Institute, 
and  is  a  graduate  of  Eastman's  Business  College,  Pough- 
keepsie,  N.  Y.,  and  obtained  a  good  education.  His  father, 
the  said  Hiram  C,  deceased  when  Nelson  W.  was  quite  young, 
when  the  large  property  and  business  operations  of  the  father 
devolved  upon  the  son,  Nelson  W.  He  adminstered  in  a  re- 
markable manner  upon  his  father's  estate,  being  so  young  in 
years.  He  afterwards  became  sole  proprietor  of  the  Fisk 
marble  quarry,  and  owns  it  at  this  time,  and  has  been  very  suc- 
cessful in  that  enterprise;  is  a  general  merchant  and  owns  a 
large  amount  of  real  estate.  He  is  the  ablest  man,  pecuniarily, 
in  said  Isle  La  Motte.  His  property  in  value  far  transcends  that 
of  his  father's  and  grandfather's  combined.  The  said  Nelson  W.

his  town  in  the  Legis- 
lature of  Vermont  for 
two  terms,  from  1882 
to  1886.  He  afterward 
in  1888  was  elected  a 
Senator  from  Grand 
Isle  County  in  the 
Legislature  of  Vermont 
for  two  years.  While 
in  the  Senate  he  intro- 
duced bills  that  became 
important  laws  of  the 
State.  He  was  appoint- 
ed by  the  Governor  of 
Vermont  chairman  of 
the  Industrial  School. 
an  institution  run  by 
the  State  at  Vergenus. 
Vt.,  He  is  also  one  of 
the  trustees  of  the 
Montpelier  Seminary, 
also  a  trustee  of  the 
State  Normal  School 
at  Johnson,  Vt.  Was 
a  member  of  the  dele- 
gation in  the  National 
Convention,  held  in 
Chicago.  1888.  Also  a 
delegate  from  Vermont 
to  the  National  Con- 
vention, held  at  .Min- 
neapolis, 1892.  j\Ir.  Fisk  is  eminently  a  public  spirited  man; 
pays  liberally  of  his  large  resources  for  pious,  charitable  and 
beneficent  purposes.  He  also  inherited  the  virtue  from  his 
ancestors  and  progenitors  of  being  possessed  of  no  ill-will, 
prejudice  or  bias  toward  his  fellowmen.  The  Hon.  Nelson  W. 
Fiske  is  one  of  the  best  business  men  in  the  State  of  Vermont. 
His  advice  and  counsel  are  sought  after  by  high  State  officials 
in  matters  of  municipal  concerns  and  the  policy  of  State  afifairs. 
When  said  Fisk  was  Senator,  as  aforesaid,  the  Chaplain  of  the 
Senate  said  to  the  writer  hereof  that  he  (Fisk)  was  one  of 
the  best  business  men,  one  of  the  best  Senators  in  that  Senate. 
Mr.  Fisk  is  a  young  man  now,  comparatively,  and  will  accom- 
plish a  great  deal  of  life's  attainments  if  permitted  to  live  to  a 
tolerabljr  good  age. 

When  he  was  being  urged  by  his  friends  as  a  candidate 
for  Lieutenant-Governor  of  Vermont,  the  Burlington  Free 
Press  said  editorially:  "He  has  yielded  to  the  wish  of  many  of 
his  warm  friends  throughout  Vermont  in  that  he  will  be  a 
candidate  for  the  second  place  on  the  ticket.  The  announce- 
ment will  be  gratifying  to  a  large  proportion  of  the  Republicans 
of  the  State.  Mr.  Fisk  is  a  staunch  Republican.  He  is  an  hon- 
orable, genial  and  popular  gentleman.  As  a  Representative  in 
the  House  in  '82  and  '84;  Senator  from  Grand  Isle  County  in 
'88;  trustee  of  the  Vermont  Reform  School,  and  leading  mem- 
ber of  the  Fish  and  Game  League,  and  in  other  public  capaci- 
ties, he  has  shown  ability,  sound  judgment  and  large  capacity 
for  business.  He  has  not  asked  for  support,  nor  shown  any 
eagerness  to  become  a  candidate  for  Lieutenant-Governor. 
In  fact,  it  is  the  simple  truth  that  he  has  up  to  this  time  re- 
sisted a  very  considerable  amount  of  pressure  from  many 
quarters,  urging  him  to  permit  the  use  of  his  name.     His  can- 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  441 


didacy  is  thus  an  honorable  one  and  every  way  creditable  to 
him.  Jrlis  name,  when  placed  upon  the  ticket,  will  add 
strength  and  popularity  to  it;  and  when  he  is  elected  the  office 
will  have  sought  the  man,  and  it  will  be  a  source  of  gratifica- 
tion to  many  in  other  sections  of  the  State  that  the  good  Island 
County  has  at  last  been  recognized  by  the  bestowal  of  an  im- 
portant elective  State  office."  At  the  Republican  State  Con- 
vention, held  in  1896,  he  was  nominated  by  acclamation  for 
Lieutenant-Governor  and  elected  by  a  very  handsome  majority. 
At  the  joint  session  of  the  Vermont  Legislature  Lieutenant- 
Governor-elect  Fisk  was  administered  the  oath  of  office.  On 
assuming  the  president's  chair  the  Lieutenant-Governor  said: 
"The  most  agreeable  duty  assigned  me  by  the  people  of  the 
State  of  Vermont  is  that  which  brings  me  into  official  relations 
with  the  Senate.  At  this,  the  commencement  of  the  session, 
I  am  forcibly  reminded  of  the  importance  of  the  position  we 
occupy.  On  us  is  centered  criticism  as  well  as  the  good  wishes 
of  our  fellow  Vermonters.  I  bring  to  the  discharge  of  this 
chair  but  little  experience,  and  shall,  therefore,  be  compelled 
to  rely  largely  upon  that  forbearance  which  has  always  charac- 
terized the  courtesy  shown  by  the  Senate  to  its  presiding  officer. 
I  indulge  in  the  hope  that  the  session  upon  which  we  are  now 
entering  will  result  in  such  beneficial  legislation  as  the  people 
have  the  right  to  expect  and  demand.  My  ambition  is  to  so 
preside  over  and  govern  your  deliberations  as  to  merit  at  all 
times  }'our  commendation  and  assistance.  I  await  the  pleasure 
of  the  Senate."     The  speech  was  greeted  with  applause.

where  he  was  in  business  and  on  the  advice  of  his  physician  decided  to  go  to 
a  warmer  climate.  In  1849  he  left  for  Chagres,  Panama,  where  he  engaged  in 
business,  doing  a  -large  trade  with  the  California  pilgrims  or  '49ers.  His  goods 
he  had  taken  with  him  to  South  America.  His  health  being  greatly  improved  in 
the  spring  of  1850,  he  returned  to  New  York  City,  where  he  remained  until  fall. 
_He  then  returned  to  Chagres,  taking  his  wife  with  him,  and  leaving  his  only  child 
in  New  York  City  with  relatives.  Not  long  after  their  arrival  in  Chagres,  Mrs. 
Fisk  was  taken  dangerously  ill  with  the  "isthmus  fever."  The  press  of  business 
and  care  and  anxiety  for  his  sick  wife  proved  too  much  for  his  nervous  system.

oldest  son  of  Ira  Fisk;  was  born  on  Isle  La  Motte.  Grand  Isle  Co.,  Vt,  Oct.  26, 
1815,  of  pious  parents,  and  brought  up  in  Chazy,  Clinton  Co.,  N.  Y.,  after  he  was 
2  years  old.  Was  a  steady,  obedient,  truthful,  reliable,  persevering,  diffident, 
courageous,  religiously  inclined  boy,  and  never  had  a  bad  habit.  He  was  called 
to  preach  at  18,  and  yielded,  after  passing  through  great  mental  agony.  A  few 
months  after  he  entered  the  traveling  ministry,  and  at  the  end  of  three  years,  with 
others,  in  consequence  of  slavery  in  that  church,  united  in  organizing  the  anti- 
slavery  Wesleyan  Methodist  Connection,  and  was  then,  June  7,  1843,  ordained 
elder  at  Utica,  N.  Y.,  which  position  he  still  occupies.  Alost  of  his  life  has  been 
spent  in  preparation  and  labor  to  benefit  the  human  family.  It  has  been  in  pastor- 
ates, anti-slavery  work,  college  agency,  peace  work  against  the  horrid  custom  of 
war.  Some  years  have  been  spent  in  recovery  of  wasted  energies,  in  excessive 
work;  also  in  efforts  without  financial  success,  though  appearances  were  flattering, 
to  recover  from  losses  that  in  appearance  incapacitated  to  carry  out  a  written 
pledge,  that  in  the  end  was  to  reach  the  establishment  of  a  central  point  of  mis- 
sion work  on  heathen  soil.  Also  in  missionary  work,  pleading  for  the  poor 
heathen,  in  going  to  Jerusalem  as  missionary,  where  he  had  the  pleasure  of 
seeing  fifty  Jews  and  one  Arab  seeking  God,  when  there  about  two  weeks.  After 
a  few  months  he  returned  to  America,  to  secure  a  few  of  the  right  kind  of  work- 
ers, and  means  necessary.  Persons  have  been  secured,  but  there  is  delay  in  lack  of 
means.     In   the   meantime   he   is   holding   missionary   meetings,    mostly   in   behalf

of  Jews  and  Arabs.  Rev.  Fisk  writes:  "I  should  be  pleased  to  have  God  honor 
our  name  by  others  taking  a  part  in  the  accomplishment  of  this  blessed  work  and

Daytona,  Fla.,  of  apoplexy.  He  was  born  in  Clinton  county,  N.  Y.  His  early 
life  was  spent  on  a  farm.  He  commenced  the  study  of  medicine  at  20  years 
of  age  and  graduated  from  the  Physicians'  College  of  Aledicine,  Philadelphia,  Pa., 
in  1851.  He  practiced  medicine  in  Au  Sable,  northern  New  York,  for  thirteen  years 
and  then  moved  to  Kalamazoo,  Mich.,  where  he  was  engaged  in  the  active  prac- 
tice of  his  profession  until  a  few  days  before  his  death.  Dr.  Fiske  was  one  of  the 
prominent  physicians  in  that  city,  having  been  an  active  practitioner  for  twenty- 
eight  years.  He  was  in  partnership  for  some  years  with  the  late  Dr.  H.  O. 
Hitchcock.  He  had  been  a  prominent  member  of  the  Kalamazoo  Academy  of 
Medicine  since  its  inception.  He  always  stood  very  high  among  his  orofessional 
brethren.  Dr.  Fiske  was  a  member  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church.  He  was 
an  upright,  straightforward  citizen,  and  a  good  neighbor.  His  loss  is  one,  says 
the  Kalamazoo  paper,  which  will  be  felt  not  only  by  his  immediate  relatives  and 
friends,  but  also  by  the  entire  city  and  by  his  professional  friends.  Mrs.  Fiske 
is  the  only  immediate  member  of  his  family  who  survives  him,  a  daughter  having 
died  some  years  ago,  and  his  son,  Arthur,  about  two  j'ears  ago.  He  d.  Dec,  1891 ;

5,  1795;  d.  Nov.  16,  1864.  He  was  a  most  successful  farmer,  carried  on  a  very 
large  business.  By  his  efforts  he  acquired  farm  after  farm,  and  at  one  time 
he  owned  thirteen  hundred  acres,  all  of  which  were  connected.  He  had  a  wonder- 
ful memory,  kept  all  of  his  numerous  accounts  on  tablets,  and  he  never  omitted 
an  item.  In  his  time  he  was  considered  a  rich  man.  His  real  estate  was  divided 
among  his  sons  and  his  personal  property  was  left  to  the  management  of  his 
eldest  living  son.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Universalist  Church.  His  last  ill- 
ness was  of  short  duration.  He  contracted  a  cold,  which  developed  into  pneu- 
monia. One  of  his  last  wishes  was  that  Cora  Etta,  then  a  babe  of  a  few  months 
old,  be  brought  to  his  bedside.  The  wish  was  granted,  the  dying  old  man  patted 
the  child  lovingly,  and  said:  "I  meant  to  have  had  many  a  good  time  with  you, 
but  it  has  all  gone  by  now."  It  was  his  request  that  he  should  be  buried  on  his 
own  ground.  A  pretty  plat  within  sight  of  the  house,  overlooking  the  pond, 
was  chosen.  His  wife,  who  died  a  short  time  before  him,  was  buried  there,  also 
his  son  Ephraim's  first  wife,  Nancy  Campbell.  He  d.  Mar.  21,  1866;  res.  Lebanon,

S.  Drew,  b.  Aug.  23,  1837.  His  father  was  an  invalid  from  his  earliest  remem- 
brance. His  mother  was  the  mainstay  of  the  family.  They  owned  thirty  acres 
of  hilly,  unproductive  land.  The  mother  did  the  work,  with  the  help  of  the 
children,  outdoors  and  in.  It  was  a  struggle  for  the  necessaries  of  life.  She 
took  wool  just  as  it  was  clipped  from  the  sheep,  worked  it  up  on  shares  and  from 
her  share  carded  by  hand,  spun,  wove,  cut  and  made  up  nearly  all  the  clothing 
that  was  used  in  the  family  during  the  40's.  His  brother,  Franklin,  next  younger 
than  he,  was  early  accustomed  to  labor.  He  could  not  be  spared  to  go  to 
school  in  the  summer  time,  after  he  was  9  years  of  age.  In  the  spring  of  1852 
they  moved  to  Lowell,  Mass.,  where  the  mother  and  all  the  children  old 
enough,  found  work  in  the  factory.  They  remained  in  Lowell  two  years  and 
had  much  sickness.  His  oldest  sister  died  and  was  buried  in  Lowell.  In  the 
spring  of  1854  his  father  bought  another  farm,  and  they  moved  back  again  to 
Vermont.  The  boys  were  now  old  enough  to  do  the  most  of  the  work  re- 
quired, and  what  was  too  hard  they  exchanged  work,  and  got  their  neighbors 
to  do.     Sept.   5.    1861.   he   enlisted   in    Company   E.,    Second   Regiment  Vermont

He  was  married  to  ]Miss  Angelina  S.  Drew,  to  whom  he  had  been  some  time 
engaged,  while  home  on  a  furlough,  in  the  winter  of  1863.  At  the  close  of  the 
war  he  removed  to  a  farm  he  had  purchased  in  Kansas,  where  he  contended  with 
drouth  and  chinch  bugs  till  the  spring  of  1875.  As  opportunity  offered,  he  held 
meetings  at  different  places  near  his  home,  and  in  the  winter  of  1875  was  invited 
to  go  to  Freeborn  to  do  home  missionarj-  work  in  the  Congregational  denomina- 
tion here.  In  connection  with  Freeborn  he  has  had  several  other  points.  He 
has  preached  at  Hartland,  Berlin,  Lemond,  New  Richland,  Alden,  Manchester, 
Minnesota  i-ake.  Freedom,  St.  Clair  and  Janesville.  He  has  been  pastor  of  the 
church  at  Freeborn  over  twenty  years,  at  Freedom  over  twelve,  Hartland  eighteen, 
and  Manchester  eight.  He  has  received  into  the  various  churches  by  baptism  and 
confession  over  one  hundred  persons.  He  now  preaches  at  Freedom,  St.

expedition  before  Port  Hudson.  In  Au- 
gust, the  following  year,  was  mustered 
out  of  service  and  returned  home  to  re- 
sume his  practice.  In  1872,  with  his 
family,  he  removed  to  Lowell,  there  to 
engage  in  broader  fields  of  usefulness. 
He  then  entered  the  office,  as  an  associate 
of  his  old  instructor,  Dr.  Savory; who  had 
preceded  him  many  years.  After  a  time 
the  partnership  was  dissolved  and  Dr. 
Fisk  continued  the  practice  of  his  pro- 
fession alone,  winning  for  himself  the 
name  and  reputation  of  a  skillful  physi- 
cian, second  to  none  in  that  city.  He  was 
a  member  of  Ladd  and  Whitney  Post,  No. 
185,  G.  A.  R. ;  Massachusetts  Medical  So- 
ciety; Middlesex  North  District  Medical 
Society,  at  different  times  being  president, 
vice-president  and  counselor;  was  on  the 
medical  staff  of  St.  John's  Hospital;  ad- 
visory board  of  Lowell  Hospital;  served 
on  the  school  board  for  a  time;  was  chair- 
man of  the  board  of  pension  examiners 
for  twelve  years;  one  of  the  board  of 
trustees  of  the  Lowell  Institution  for  Sav- 
ings; was  also  an  active  member  of  the 
Medical  Journal  Club,  in  which  he  took 
much  interest.  After  a  residence  of  twen- 
ty-two years  in  Lowell,  he  conceived 
the  happy  thought  of  returning  again 
to  Bradford,  hoping  to  enjoy  for  a 
few  years  the  rest  and  quiet  which  his  active  life  and  close  attention  to  his  arduous 
and  trying  profession  so  richly  entitled  him.  "We  have  watched  with  interest  and 
pleasure  during  the  past  summer,  the  progress  made  in  building  and  decorating  the 
new  home.  At  last  it  was  finished,  and  they  were  cozily  settled.  All  were  rejoiced 
at  their  coming,  and  ready  to  stretch  a  welcoming  hand  across  this  gulf  of  many 
years.  Our  fond  anticipations  were  realized  only  a  few  days  ago,  the  occasion 
being  the  70th  anniversary  of  his  birth.  Congratulations  and  good  wishes  were 
heartily  extended  by  many  and  hopes  expressed,  that  this  happy  couple  might  live 
to  reach  their  fifty  years  of  wedded  life,  which  seemed  so  near  at  hand;  but,  alas, 
that  was  not  so  to  be.  It  is  easy  to  realize  the  sorrow  and  disappointment  so 
keenly  felt  by  all,  at  his  untimely  death." 

Possibly  no  young  M.  D.  was  ever  more  uniquely  started  upon  his  career 
than  was  the  doctor,  when,  in  the  winter  of  1848,  the  western  part  of  the  town  was 
smitten  with  the  scourge  of  small-pox.  Even  Dr.  Ames,  another  physician,  fell 
a  victim  to  the  horrible  disease.  It  was  then  that  the  boy,  Dr.  Fisk,  came  to  the 
rescue.  Rising  to  the  occasion  he  showed  the  stuff  that  was  in  him.  He  went  into 
quarantine  with  Bradford's  afflicted  townspeople,  caring  for  and  ministering  to 
them  as  physician  and  nurse,  and  coming  forth  from  the  ordeal  with  flying  colors, 
and  the  confidence  and  respect  of  the  whole  community.  He  was  married  just 
previously,  and  he  often  laughingly  remarked  that  this  was  his  honeymoon,  spent 
among  small-pox  patients,  as  he  was  isolated  for  weeks  from  his  then  young  bride. 
The  doctor's  sense  of  humor  carried  him  successfully  through  many  a  dark  scene 
and  served  to  brighten  many  a  dismal  sick  chamber.  He  had  for  many  years 
been  much  interested  in  ornithology,  not  only  as  a  scientific  study,  but  pleasant 
pastime,  and  had,  for  a  private  one,  a  large  collection  of  birds,  which  he  enjoyed 
showing  and  explaining  to  his  friends.  He  d.  Jan.  21,  1895;  res.  Lowell,  Mass.,  and

He  was  a  manufacturer  in  Adams,  Mass.;  was  burned  out,  and  as  the  business  at 
that  time  was  unsatisfactory,  he  went  to  Brattleboro,  his  wife's  home,  and  started 
what  he  called  a  "traveling  emporium."  He  had  twenty  teams  and  a  salesman  on 
each  one.  His  own  team  was  very  handsome;  on  it  he  drove  four  horses,  a  coach- 
man in  livery.  He  also  had  another  four  horse  team,  which  was  the  "wholesale 
wagon."  In  this  way  he  traveled  all  over  New  England.  Each  Saturday  every  sales- 
man reported  to  him,  at  a  given  place.  His  bookeeper  was  there,  and,  in  fact,  the 
business  was  carried  on  then  as  the  large  stores  are  now  in  the  city;  everythingr 
was  systematized.  He  carried  only  silks  and  handsome  shawls  and  wraps  on  his  own 
team;  he  had  his  regular  customers  all  over  the  country,  who  waited  for  him,  and 
in  many  towns  he  would  stay  from  two  to  three  weeks.  He  was  a  very  handsome 
man,  six  feet  two  inches,  and  the  "pink"  of  neatness;  very  careful  about  his  dress, 
and  of  a  very  elegant,  courtly  manner.  His  wife  used  often  to  say  laughingly:  "I 
first  met  Mr.  Fisk  in  a  stage  coach,  and  was  attracted  by  his  fine  clothes  and 
noble  bearing."  He  was  a  strong  Prohibitionist,  and  built  the  Revere  House  in 
Brattleboro  and  opened  it,  the  first  temperance  house  ever  opened  and  kept  in  the 
State  of  Vermont.  After  the  death  of  his  son  he  was  ill  for  a  year,  in  fact,  out  of 
his  head,  made  so  by  the  shock  of  his  sudden  death.  He  was  walking  up  Broad- 
way and  heard  the  newsboys  crying  the  murder  on  the  street.  He  fell  uncon- 
scious and  remained  so  for  twenty-four  hours;  he  never  saw  his  dearly  loved  boy 
again.  He  recovered  his  mind,  but  never  his  health.  He  d.  June  4,  1881 ;  res.  Brat-

of  New  York  City,  b.  Dec.  15,  1818;  d.  Feb.  14,  1884.  Wm.  H.  Fiske,  Sr.,  learned 
the  moulders'  trade  in  his  father's  foundry  in  New  Brunswick,  N.  J.,  and  after- 
ward, with  his  brother.  Squire,  took  the  business,  his  father  retiring,  and  ran  it 
until  after  the  war.  He  was  a  good  draughtsman  and  musician,  he,  his  father  and 
brothers  having  belonged  to  a  band  when  the  sons  were  young  men.  After  the 
war  William  was  an  inspector  of  streets  in  New  York,  and  afterward  held  a  posi- 
tion in  the  postoffice,  but  for  a  few  years  before  he  died  was  not  in  business,  his 
health  having  failed  him.  When  a  young  man  his  father  obtained  a  place  for  him 
in  a  New  York  liquor  store,  but  only  remained  one  day,  as  he  did  not  like  the 
business.  He  never  drank  or  used  tobacco  in  any  form,  though  the  latter  was 
not  offensive  to  him.  He  early  joined  the  Presbyterian  Church  (old  school)  and

4739.  i.  STEPHEN  RYDER,  b.  Nov.  22,  1840;  unm.;  add.  11  Frankfort 
St.,  New  York,  N.  Y.  On  the  third  story  of  the  Lotos  club- 
house there  is  a  square,  high  cardroom,  fronting  on  Fifth 
avenue,  and  here,  on  his  working  mornings,  Mr.  Stephen  Fiske 
may  be  found  seated  at  a  table-desk  writing  "copy"  for  the 
numerous  papers  to  which  he  contributes.  As  he  rises  to 
welcome  the  interviewer,  he  displays  a  large,  stout,  portly  figure, 
above  the  medium  height — a  strong,  pleasant  English  face, with 
frank,  mischievous  blue  eyes  and  dark  brown  hair  and  mus- 
tache tinged  with  gray.  His  manner  is  straightforward;  his 
voice  clear  and  honest.  He  pushes  aside  his  papers,  offers 
a  box  of  choice  cigars  to  his  visitor,  and,  with  a  laugh  and  a 
jest  at  the  idea  of  a  hunter  being  hunted,  glances  over  my 
notes  and  fills  up  the  gaps  in  reply  to  my  questions.  "Yes," 
he  says,  in  response  to  a  remark  about  his  surroundings,  "hav- 
ing seen  many  writers,  from  Dickens  down,  annoyed  by  the 
absence  of  a  particular  chair,  table,  kind  of  pen  or  paper,  I 
have  always  tried  to  be  independent  of  such  fads,  and  can 
write  anywhere  with  equal  facility.  Give  me  a  flat  table  and 
the  light  on  my  left  hand,  and  I  am  comfortable  in  any  room 
or  company.  I  do  not  care  to  be  alone;  in  fact,  the  talk  of 
people  about  me,  so  long  as  they  don't  whisper,  is  a  sort  of 
inspiration.  My  writing  is  only  a  transcription  and  correcting 
of  phrases  already  formed  in  my  mind,  and,  therefore,  is  very 
rapid  and  seldom  altered.  But,  if  I  have  a  choice,  it  is  to  write 
in  a  printing  office,  with  the  presses  rumbling  below  me,  and 
the  printer's  boy  taking  my  pages  as  fast  as  I  can  scribble 
them.  There  is  no  music  for  a  writer  like  the  rumble  of  the 
press,  and  the  jarring  is  like  a  series  of  beneficent  electric 
shocks."  Stephen  Fiske  was  born  November  22,  1840,  at  the 
little  old  Dutch  city  of  New  Brunswick,  N.  J.,  about  thirty 
miles  from  New  York.  His  parents  had  moved  out  from 
the  metropQlis  and  settled  there.  His  grandfather,  Haley 
Fiske,  was  a  Judge,  and  a  prominent  leader  of  the  Whig 
party.  His  father  was  a  partner  in  a  large  iron  foundry.  He 
was  educated  at  Rutgers  College  in  his  native  city.  As  a 
schoolboy,  his  compositions  were  published  in  the  local  pa- 
pers. He  commenced  his  paid  contributions  before  he  was 
12  years  old,  and  at  14  he  was  the  editor  of  a  small  daily  pa- 
per, the  Times,  which,  much  enlarged,  is  still  prosperous. 
He  used  to  hear  his  father  laugh  over  his  editorials  while  he 
was  afraid  to  avow  their  authorship;  for  his  father  was  a  Re- 
publican in  politics,  and  the  Times  was  the  Democratic  organ. 
The  precocious  journalist  edited  the  Times  during  his  col- 
legiate studies.  Before  his  year  of  graduation  he  contributed 
to  the  College  Magazine  the  opening  chapters  of  a  satirical 
novel,  called  "Charles  Herndon,  a  Modern  American  Student's

Progress,"  in  which  the  professors  and  their  antiquated  meth- 
ods of  teaching  were  keenly  caricatured.  The  professors  de- 
manded his  resignation;  but  the  reforms  which  he  had  sug- 
gested in  his  novel  were  carried  out,  and  the  caricatured  pro- 
fessors were  soon  retired,  and  the  college  thoroughly  reor- 
ganized. Alluding  to  this  incident  in  a  speech  at  the  Del- 
monico  banquet  of  the  Rutgers  Alumni,  Mr.  Fiske  said:  "I 
graduated,  not  exactly  at  the  head  of  my  class,  but  two  years 
ahead  of  it."  Then,  for  the  first  time  in  his  life,  the  venerable 
President  Campbell,  D.  D.  and  LL.  D.,  was  heard  to  laugh, 
and  the  speech  thus  became  historical.  Stephen  Fiske  first  at- 
tracted attention  outside  of  local  circles  by  an  article  upon 
"Sunshine,"  which  was  extensively  copied  and  which  a  New 
York  paper  accused  him  of  plagiarizing  from  Dickens.  The 
works  of  Dickens  were  searched  in  vain,  and  the  paper  was 
forced  to  apologize  and  explain  that  the  writing  was  so  like 
Dickens'  that  the  editor  could  not  detect  the  difference.  This 
high  compliment  to  a  boy  resulted  in  the  departure  of  the 
young  writer  for  New  York  to  seek  his  fortune.  Horace 
Greeley,  his  grandfather's  friend,  offered  him  a  position  upon 
the  Tribune;  but  he  preferred  to  become  a  reporter  upon  the 
Herald.  In  a  few  months  he  was  promoted  to  be  a  special 
correspondent,  and  in  that  capacity  he  accompanied  the 
Prince  of  Wales  on  his  American  tour,  from  Newfoundland 
to  Portland.  He  used  the  telegraph  exclusively,  and  his  des- 
patches were  published  in  the  English  papers  a  fortnight  in 
advance  of  the  English  correspondents'  letters.  At  Niagara 
Falls,  he  telegraphed  to  the  Herald  chapters  of  Matthews  and 
Revelations  in  order  to  hold  the  wires  against  all  rivals,  and 
Jules  Verne  has  adapted  this  incident  in  a  well-known  novel  and 
play.  Afterwards  he  accompanied  Abraham  Lincoln,  "The 
Martyr  President,"  in  his  memorable  trip  from  Illinois  to 
Washington,  and  he  relates  with  great  glee  the  introduction 
of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Lincoln  to  Washington  society.  "Here," 
said  Mr.  Lincoln  to  the  brilliant  company  assembled  to  greet 
him  at  Willard's  Hotel,  "here  is  the  long  and  the  short  of 
the  Presidency,"  and  Lincoln  bent  his  tall  figure  as  he  held 
his  little  wife  by  the  hand.  In  1866  Mr.  Fiske  was  an  editorial 
writer  on  the  Herald  and  the  editor  of  the  Leader,  a  local 
Democratic  organ.  He  had  produced  a  play  at  Wallack's,  and 
wrote  regularly  for  Bonner's  Ledger  and  the  leading  maga- 
zines. Without  hesitation  he  threw  up  all  his  engagements 
to  go  with  Mr.  James  Gordon  Bennett  on  the  Henrietta  in  the 
first  ocean  yacht  race  which  was  sailed  in  December.  The 
Henrietta  arrived  at  Cowes  on  Christmas  day  after  a  stormy 
passage,  and  won  the  race.  Hurrying  up  to  London,  Mr.  Fiske 
wrote  a  report  of  the  race  for  the  Times,  and  then  cabled 
a  full  account  of  it  to  the  Herald.  He  refused  to  accept  the 
seventy-five  guineas  offered  him  by  the  Times  for  his  report; 
but  the  elder  Bennett  sent  him  a  check  for  $1,000  by  way  of 
compensation.  This  is  the  largest  sum  ever  received  for  a 
two-column   article. 

After  a  brief  rest,  Mr.  Fiske  was  sent  to  Ireland  to  ex- 
plode the  Fenian  conspiracy.  He  traveled  over  most  of  the 
country  on  a  jaunting-car,  interviewed  all  the  leading  Fenians, 
and  cabled  to  the  Herald  not  only  the  results  of  his  investiga- 
tions, but  the  editorials  upon  his  reports,  and  the  effect  was  that 
the  Fenian  movement  was  thoroughly  discredited  in  America. 
From  Ireland  Mr.  Fiske  went  to  Paris  to  describe  by  cable 
the  opening  of  the  Paris  Exposition;  to  Buda-Pesth  to  witness 
the  coronation  of  the  Emperor  of  Austria  as  King  of  Hungary; 
to  Rome,  to  picture  in  words  the  canonization  of  the  Japanese

martyrs;  to  Naples  to  see  an  eruption  of  Mt.  Vesuvius,  and  to 
Spain  to  report  the  war  which  threatened  to  break  out  with 
England  on  account  of  the  "Vittoria"  affair.  Subsequently  he 
went  to  Italy  and  took  part  in  Garibaldi's  campaign  against 
Rome,  which  was  settled  by  the  French  chassepots.  His  were 
the  only  despatches  which  came  through  from  the  seat  of 
war  at  that  time,  the  other  correspondents  being  locked  up 
in  Rome,  and  they  were  recabled  from  New  York  to  the  Lon- 
don papers.  Settling  down  in  London  as  the  Herald  corre- 
spondent, Mr.  Fiske  became  intimate  with  Charles  Dickens, 
Wilkie  Collins,  Charles  Reade,  and  other  literary  celebrities. 
One  day,  at  Boucicault's  the  question  was  discussed  whether 
the  art  of  writing  in  character  was  not  lost.  Mr.  Fiske  pro- 
posed to  write  an  article  in  the  character  of  an  American 
Fenian,  if  Mr.  Yates  would  publish  it  in  Tinsley's  magazine, 
which  he  was  then  editing.  The  article,  called  "Ireland  for  the 
Irish,"  created  an  immense  sensation,  the  London  journals 
reviewing  and  denouncing  it  in  elaborate  leaders.  Several 
similar  articles  followed  in  the  magazine  and  in  the  Pall  Mall 
Gazette,  and  the  authorities  searched  Mr.  Fiske's  rooms,  at  the 
Queen's  Hotel,  for  incendiary  documents.  For  the  same  maga- 
zine Mr.  Fiske  wrote  a  series  of  papers  called  "English  Photo- 
graphs, by  an  American,"  dedicated  by  permission  to  Charles 
Dickens.  These  were  republished  in  book  form;  obtained  a 
wide  popularity;  were  quoted  in  Parliament,  and  were  so  much 
esteemed  by  Dickens  that  he  carried  the  book  with  him  on  his 
railway  journeys,  and  "dipped  in  to  it,"  as  he  said,  constantly. 
Mr.  Fiske  contributed  several  papers  to  All  the  Year  Round, 
and  had  arranged  for  the  publication  of  his  first  novel  in  that 
periodical,  when  the  death  of  Dickens  ended  the  project. 

"English  Photographs"  is  still  a  readable  book,  full  of 
suggestions  of  practical  reforms,  many  of  which  have  been 
adopted.  The  advance  sheets  of  it  were  published  in  Harper's 
Magazine.  With  its  profits  Mr.  Fiske  purchased  the  Hornet,  a 
satirical  paper  with  a  small  city  circulation,  and  attempted  to 
open  the  way  to  what  is  now  called  society  journalism.  He 
also  edited  and  published  the  Home  Journal,  to  which  Miss 
Braddon  contributed  a  new  novel,  and  a  trade  paper,  called 
the  News  Vendor.  As  if  his  hands  were  not  full  enough  of 
work,  he  undertook  to  manage  the  St.  James'  Theatre  for 
Mrs.  John  Wood,  and  succeeded  in  running  "She  Stoops  to 
Conquer"  for  200  nights,  and  in  delighting  the  town  with 
the  humors  of  that  best  of  burlesques,  "La  Belle  Sauvage." 
Afterward,  he  organized  the  Royal  English  Opera  Company, 
with  Rose  Hersee  and  Belle  Cole  as  his  prima  donnas,  and 
sent  out  this  troupe  for  a  tour  of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland.  In 
1874  Mr.  Fiske  returned  to  America  and  took  charge  of 
the  Fifth  Avenue  Theatre,  New  York,  which  he  saved  from 
ruin  and  conducted  for  four  years  against  the  disadvantages  of 
hard  times  and  an  unpopular  house.  There  he  first  introduced 
to  the  public  Mary  Anderson,  whom  he  advertised  so  boldly 
as  to  command  attention  and  success.  'T  do  not  say  that  she 
is  a  great  actress,"  he  remarked  to  an  interviewer,  "but  it  is 
worth  the  money  to  see  such  a  lovely  girl."  There,  also,  he 
brought  out  Madame  Modjeska,  who,  a  failure  on  the  first 
night  in  "Adrienne,"  soon  achieved  an  extraordinary  success 
in  "Camille."  In  1878  Mr.  Fiske  withdrew  from  the  theatre 
and  returned  to  journalism,  his  first  love.  He  accepted  the 
position  of  dramatic  critic  of  the  Spirit  of  the  Times,  and  Col. 
Buck,  the  editor  and  proprietor,  made  an  engagement  with 
him  for  life.  His  work  upon  that  paper  is  almost  as  well 
known  on  the  other  side  of  the  Atlantic  as  on  this,  so  exten- 


454  FISKE  GENEALOGY. 


sively  is  it  read  and  quoted.  Almost  alone  among  writers  in 
English,  he  has  made  criticism  a  fine  art.  For  two  years  he 
was  the  editor-in-chief  of  the  New  York  Star,  and  when  he  left 
that  paper  it  waned  and  died.  Editors  and  compositors  always 
welcome  his  "copy,"  which  is  as  clear  as  print,  and,  beneath 
the  plainest  statement  of  facts,  has  a  sub-acid  of  satire  and 
humor  which  precisely  suits  the  tone  of  modern  journalism. 
He  has  published  three  books,  "English  Photographs,"  "Holi- 
day Stories,"  and  "Off-Hand  Portraits,"  in  which  he  predicted 
Cleveland's  election  to  the  Presidency  two  years  beforehand, 
and  he  has  produced  "Martin  Chuzzlewit"  (Olympic),  "Cor- 
poral Cartouche"  (Winter  Garden).  "My  Noble  Son-in-Law" 
(Wallack's)  and  "Robert  Rabagas"  (London)  dramatizations  or 
adapted  plays,  all  very  successful.  In  the  prime  of  life,  and  with 
enormous  capacities  for  work,  Stephen  Fiske's  future  is  likely 
to  be  as  varied  and  eventful  as  his  past.  "I  used  to  think," 
he  says,  as  he  concluded  the  long  chat  from  which  these  par- 
ticulars have  been  gleaned,  "that  I  had  been  everywhere  and 
seen  everybody  and  everything;  but  the  world  renews  itself 
every  year,  and  I  often  feel  like  beginning  life  all  over  again. 
I  have  lived  every  minute  of  my  time,  and  I  find  that  the  only 
thing  which  really  fatigues  me  is  to  stop  and  try  to  rest." 
Nov.,  1896,  he  is  writing  a  series  of  articles  of  intense  interest 
on  "The  Personal  Side  of  Dickens"  for  Tlie  Ladies'  Home 
Journal.

b.  Apr.  23,  1847.  Willis  P.  Fiske  spent  his  early  years  until  the  age  of  17  on  his 
father's  farm,  attending  the  district  school,  and  doing  such  work  on  the  farm  as  was 
required.  In  addition  to  the  common  school  education,  he  was  allowed  a  few  terms 
at  the  Macedon  Academy,  to  fit  himself  for  teaching.  He  '"taught  his  first  school" 
while  in  his  i8th  year  (1853-54),  and  continued  in  the  profession  until  June,  1864, 
when  he  resigned  his  position  in  the  Canandaigua  Academy  to  accept  a  position  as 
bookkeeper  in  the  Bank  of  Ontario  in  Canandaigua.  At  the  end  of  a  year  he  was 
made  assistant  cashier,  and  for  a  considerable  time  had  charge  of  the  bank,  whose 
business  was  large  and  the  responsibility  of  his  position  great.  He  continued  to 
fill  responsible  positions  in  the  banking  line  until  the  spring  of  1874,  having  been 
cashier  of  banking  houses  in  Marathon,  N.  Y.,  Herkimer,  N.  Y.,  and  Newark,  N. 
Y.,  and  for  three  years  held  positions  in  the  Merchants  Savings,  Loan  &  Trust- 
Co.  of  Chicago,  and  the  Traders  National  Bank  of  Chicago.  In  1874  he  went  to 
Buffalo  and  engaged  in  insurance  business  in  partnership  with  Stephen  F.  Sher- 
man. In  October,  1875,  he  entered  the  office  of  Richard  Bullymore  as  bookkeeper, 
continuing  in  that  capacity  until  December,  1878,  when  he  resigned  this  position 
to  become  cashier  of  the  Buffalo  Grape  Sugar  Co.  He  remained  with  this  com- 
pany and  its  successor,  the  American  Glucose  Company,  until  the  summer  of  1894, 
nearly  sixteen  years.  In  April,  1894,  the  American  Glucose  Company's  plant  in 
Buffalo  was  destroyed  by  fire,  which  resulted  in  the  severing  of  his  connection  with 
that  cornpany.  He  now  (1896)  holds  the  position  of  chief  bookkeeper  in  the  office 
of  the  Comptroller  of  the  city  of  Buffalo.  In  politics  he  is  a  Republican,  though 
never  taking  active  part  in  politics,  except  as  a  voter.  As  a  proof  of  the  regard 
in  which  he  is  held,  it  may  be  said  that  in  the  several  important  financial  positions 
held  by  him,  involving  the  handling  and  care  of  large  sums  of  money,  he  was  never 
required  to  give  bonds;  res.  34  Fifteenth  St.,  Buffalo,  N.  Y.

eldest  son  of  Joseph  and  Fanny  (Brown)  Fisk  who  were  among  the  pioneers  that 
helped  to  develop  the  northeastern  part  of  Pennsylvania.  He  had  four  sisters  and 
one  brother.  His  sisters  with  himself  have  all  passed  to  the  higher  life.  His 
brother,  Clark  S.  Fisk,  lives  at  Morrison,  111.     When  Joseph  was  but  ten  years  old 


460  FISKE  GENEALOGY. 


his  father  died  of  consumption  leaving  a  widow  with  six  small  children  with  very 
limited  means  of  support,  therefore  his  chance  for  education  was  small.  We  do 
not  know  that  he  ever  attended  school  a  day  in  his  life,  yet  we  take  it  for  granted 
that  he  must  have  done  so  some  time  somewhere,  as  he  possessed  a  knowledge  of 
the  three  "R's."  Soon  after  the  death  of  his  father  Joseph  went  to  live  with  his 
uncle  Washington  Fisk  in  Vermont,  making  a  trip  of  three  hundred  miles  on  foot 
through  the  woods  and  over  the  mountains  of  Pennsylvania,  New  York  and  Ver- 
mont, with  his  wardrobe  in  a  bandana.  When  about  20  years  old  his  uncle  ad- 
vised him  to  return  to  Pennsylvania  and  take  possession  of  the  farm  his  father  had 
settled  on  and  this  he  did.  Joseph  W.  Fisk  and  Rhoda  E.  Strickland  were  mar- 
ried. Miss  Strickland  had  been  devoted  to  teaching  school  for  nearly 
eight  years  at  the  time  of  their  marriage.  With  her  superior  education,  active  tem- 
perament and  ambitious  energy,  she  brought  to  her  husband  the  qualities  he  so 
much  needed.  His  judgment  was  sound  and  had  he  had  the  benefit  of  an  educa- 
tion he  would  have  been  a  strong  man.  He  had  an  acute  ear  for  music  and  could 
play  almost  any  instrument.  He  was  about  six  feet  tall  and  well  proportioned,  in 
his  palmy  days  weighing  two  hundred  and  forty  pounds.  His  family  consisted 
of  twelve  children,  nine  sons  and  three  daughters,  seven  of  whom  are  living,  viz.: 
Wilmot,  Melvin,  Calvin,  Everett,  Mrs.  Harriet  E.  Emery,  Theron  and  Alfred.  In 
i860  he  built  the  Union  Hotel  at  Niven,  Pa.  In  1861  was  made  postmaster  of  that 
place,  under  Lincoln's  administration,  which  office  he  held  until  he  moved  west  in 
1865.  In  the  autumn  of  1864  he  went  to  Whiteside  County,  111.,  and  bought  a  farm 
near  where  his  brother  and  eldest  sister  (Mrs.  Mary  Champlin)  lived.  The  fol- 
lowing spring  he  moved  his  family  there  and  continued  the  vocation  of  farming  the 
balance  of  his  life.  In  his  early  life  he  was  religiously  inclined,  but  as  his  family 
grew  his  son  Calvin  brought  a  class  of  free  thought  literature  such  as  the  "New 
York  Truth  Seeker,"  Prof.  John  Fiske's  "Unseen  World."  Paine's  "Age  of  Rea- 
son," Ingersoll's  "Lectures,"  "Boston  Investigator,"  etc.,  into  his  house,  the  read- 
ing of  which  somewhat  changed  his  mind  on  dogmatic  theology.  His  faithful  wife 
died  Mar.  8,  1887.  This  was  a  greater  calamity  than  he  could  well  bear,  and  three 
years  one  month  and  two  days  later  he  followed  her  to  their  long  home.  He  d.

N.  H.,  Jan.  20,  1835.  Albert  Richard  Ober  Fiske  was  born  in  Beverly,  Mass.,  on 
what  was  then  "Dodge's  Row."  His  father,  Abraham  Fisk,  was  a  farmer  who 
moved  afterward  to  Beverly  Cove  where  the  children  were  brought  up,  helping 
their  father  to  pay  for  their  home  at  the  Cove,  which  was  at  the  foot  of  Wood- 
bury Street.  The  boys  numbered  five,  all  but  the  subject  of  this  sketch  following 
the  sea.  Albert  was  apprenticed  to  learn  the  shoemaker's  trade  at  the  early  age  of 
II  years.  He  was  courageous  and  active,  and  was  early  in  life  in  business  for 
himself.  Failing  in  this,  his  first  endeavor,  he  became  foreman  cutter  in  the  fac- 
tory of  Francis  Dane  in  So.  Danvers,  after  which  he  was  a  partner  in  the  business, 
having  a  separate  factory  on  the  corner  of  the  "Square"  and  Chestnut  Street.  He 
was  in  business  with  varying  fortunes  at  this  stand  for  many  years,  removing  to 
Wenham  in  1870,  eight  miles  away,  where  the  workmen  were  mostly  located,  and 
where  he  continued  to  do  business  for  himself  until  the  great  Boston  fire,  which 
swept  away  so  many  fortunes,  so  seriously  impaired  his  business  that  he  never 
fully  recovered  from  the  blow.  He  struggled  on,  however,  for  several  years,  when 
he  was  obliged  to  give  up.  He  has  lived  since  then  in  West  Peabody,  in  Lynn  and 
in  Beverly,  where  he  now  resides.  Albert  R.  Fisk  is  much  respected  wherever 
he  is  known,  and  is  a  man  of  sterling  integrity,  honest  and  incorruptible.  In  pol- 
itics he  was  active  in  his  younger  days,  serving  two  terms  as  Postmaster  in  So.

Abbot,  b.  Feb.,  1845;  d.  1889;  m.  2d,  Aug.  29,  1894,  Ida  J.  Richards,  of  Milan,  O., 
b.  Apr.  8,  1858.  Mr.  Fiske  is  a  mechanical  engineer  and  quite  an  expert  in  his 
line.  Last  year  he  came  very  near  losing  his  life  while  at  work  in  Washington, 
D.  C,  because  of  the  carelessness  of  some  individual  unknown.  In  company  with 
several  other  workmen,  Mr.  Fiske,  who  is  an  erecting  engineer  in  the  employ  of 
the  Providence  Steam  Engine  Company,  was  engaged  in  fitting  a  portion  of 
one  of  the  Greene  engines  connected  with  the  multipolar  generator  which  sup- 
plies the  motive  power  for  the  new  electric  system  of  propulsion  being  introduced 
by  the  Metropolitan  company.  While  standing  on  the  axle  of  the  immense  fly 
wheel,  with  his  mind  fixed  on  the  work,  Mr.  Fiske  was  startled  to  feel  that  the 
axle  was  revolving.  In  the  hope  of  saving  himself  he  jumped  to  a  wooden  beam 
nearby,  but  it  gave  way  with  a  crash,  and  the  engineer  was  precipitated  to  the 
bottom  of  the  wheel  pit.  Before  he  could  move  he  was  dragged  beneath  the  re- 
volving wheel,  the  space  between  the  same  and  the  cement  flooring  being  less  than 
one  foot.  In  less  time  than  it  takes  to  tell  it  the  unfortunate  man  had  suffered 
a  compound  fracture  of  the  right  leg,  a  lacerated  wound  on  the  left  hand,  con- 
tusions of  the  back  and  shoulders  and  an  abrasion  of  the  left  leg.  A  heavy  iron 
casting  which  fell  at  the  same  time  as  did  Mr.  Fisk  was  smashed.  The  wheel, 
which  had  been  set  in  motion  by  the  shifting  of  a  lever  by  some  person  among  the 
many  spectators  watching  the  erection  of  the  engine,  was  quickly  stopped,  and 
half  a  dozen  of  his  fellow  workmen  lifted  the  injured  man  from  his  precarious 
position.  The  fact  that  the  man  had  been  badly  injured  quickly  spread  about  the 
neighborhood,  and  in  a  few  moments  a  surgeon  with  several  members  of  the 
ambulance  corps  reached  the  scene  from  the  hospital  of  the  Washington  Bar- 
racks, which  is  but  half  a  block  distant  from  the  new  power  house.  Several  other 
physicians  were  also  summoned,  but  it  was  decided  to  send  Mr.  Fiske  to  the  Emer- 
gency Hospital.  At  the  latter  institution  his  injuries  were  attended  to.  Res.

Sparhawk,  b.  Oct.  20,  1854,  dau.  of  Ed- 
ward Carey  and  Susan  Elizabeth 
(Greenwood)  Sparhawk,  of  Brighton, 
Mass.  Charles  Dudley  Blake  Fiske,  sec- 
ond son  of  Dudley  Blake  and  Mary 
Ann  Ashton  Fiske,  was  born  at  Hook- 
set,  N.  H.,  Feb.  17,  1850.  His  father 
died  in  1851,  leaving  his  mother  desti- 
tute, with  two  small  boys,  his  brother, 
William  Francis,  and  himself.  The  first 
seven  years  of  his  life  were  passed  at 
the  home  of  his  grandparents,  in  Lowell, 
Mass.,  his  mother  working  hard  to  earn 
suthcient  to  care  for  her  children.  When 
Charles  was  nearly  7  years  of  age,  his 
mother  married  an  honest,  hard  work- 
ing mechanic,  who  proved  kind  to  the 
children,  but  of  a  roving  nature,  conse- 
quently Charles'  early  life  was  passed 
in  various  places,  remaining  in  each 
hardly  long  enough  to  form  any  per- 
sonal friends,  and  too  short  a  time  to  ac- 
quire an  education.  At  the  age  of  11 
he  worked  in  the  early  morning  on  a 
milk  route,  and  in  the  evening  sold  pa- 
pers on  the  streets  of  Providence,  R.  I. 
Two  years  later  he  had  a  cheap  jewelry 
stand  on  Central  St.,  Lowell,  Mass.,  and 
later,  at  the  age  of  15,  worked  in  a  pa- 
per box  factory.  Again  returning  to 
Providence,  Mr.  Fiske,  at  the  age  of  16, 
drove  a  grocery  order  wagon.  Realizing  fully  his  ignorance,  he  attended  a  com- 
mercial evening  school  for  about  a  year,  learning  bookkeeping,  and  laying  the 
foundation  for  what  knowledge  he  acquired  later.  Going  to  California  at  the  age 
of  18,  he  soon  spent  what  little  he  had  saved,  and  went  to  work  laying  track  for 
the  Central  Pacific  Railroad  at  Sacramento,  at  $1.50  per  day.  After  that  he 
worked  in  the  car  shops,  building  cars,  and  yet  later  secured  a  position  as  clerk 
in  the  motive  power  department,  at  a  salary  of  $1,500  a  year,  all  the  changes  oc- 
curring within  a  year  from  his  arrival  in  California,  although  when  he  landed  he 
was  an  entire  stranger  to  everybody.  His  last  position  carried  him  to  the  wilds 
01  Nevada,  where  he  mingled  with  the  hardest  set  of  men  that  could  be  gathered 
together  from  the  four  quarters  of  the  globe.  There  might  was  law,  and  pistols 
and  knives  settled  many  a  dispute.  He  dabbled  in  mines  more  or  less,  and  be- 
came interested  in  a  patent,  which  he  thought  would  make  his  fortune.  He  re- 
turned East  in  1871,  soon  became  stranded,  and  was  compelled  to  begin  life  anew 
as  entry  clerk  in  a  large  clothing  house  of  J.  B.  Barnaby  &  Co.,  of  Providence,  R. 
I.,  at  a  salary  of  $6  per  week.  A  year  later  he  entered  the  employ  of  the  Howe 
Sewing  Machine  Company,  as  bookkeeper;  became  their  temporary  general  agent  of 
Rhode  Island  and  Connecticut,  settled  up  their  broken  busines  and  returned  as 
head  bookkeeper  of  the  said  clothing  firm.  In  1874  he  went  to  Portland,  Me.,  and 
opened  a  clothing  store  under  the  name  of  C.  D.  B.  Fiske  &  Co.,  being  backed 
by  J.  B.  Barnaby  &  Co.,  his  former  employers.  In  1879  Mr.  Fiske  was  elected 
to  the  common  council  of  Portland,  and  in  1880,  was  elected  president  of  that 
body.  In  1881  he  removed  to  Boston,  and  opened  a  much  larger  store,  under 
the  name  of  J.  B.  Barnaby  &  Co.  In  1893,  as  Mr.  Barnaby  had  died,  the  business 
was  sold,  and  in  April  of  the  same  year,  taking  a  partner,  he  opened  a  very  large 
store  as  Fiske  &  Gof¥,  clothiers.     Since  then  the  firm  added  a  store  in  Portland,

title  of  master  changed  to  that  of  lieu- 
tenant, junior  grade,  Mar.  3,  1883;  pro- 
moted to  lieutenant  Jan.  26,  1887.  On 
Feb.  15,  1882,  he  married  Josephine 
Harper,  daughter  of  Mr.  Joseph  W. 
Harper,  head  of  the  publishing  firm  of 
Harper  &  Brothers.  On  Oct.  i,  1882, 
obtained  leave  of  absence  for  one  year, 
to  study  electricity.  During  this  year 
he  wrote  "Electricity  in  Theory  and 
Practice."  which  Van  Nostrand  pub- 
lished. This  book  in  1895  was  still  sell- 
ing, in  its  tenth  edition.  On  duty  in 
Bureau  of  Ordnance,  Navy  Department, 
from  Oct.,  1883,  to  Oct.,  1885.  During 
this  time,  i.  e.  in  Oct.  and  Nov.,  1884, 
was  member  of  International  Conference 
of  Electricians  at  Philadelphia,  and  also 
was  detailed  in  charge  of  the  Naval  Ex- 
hibit at  the  International  Electrical  Ex- 
hibition; made  cruise  in  U.  S.  S.  Atlanta, 
the  'first  modern  cruiser  of  the  United 
States  Navy,  from  July,  1886,  to  Dec, 
1888.  During  this  cruise  invented  elec- 
trical range  finder  for  measuring  dis- 
tances at  sea  and  in  forts.  This  instru- 
ment is  now  in  use  in  the  principal  ships 
of  the  navy,;  carried  on,  also,  while  on 
this  cruise  a  number  of  experiments 
in  electrically  signalling  through  the 
water  and  the  air.  Up  to  the 
present  time  these  experiments  have 
not  borne  fruit  in  the  shape  of  practical  apparatus.  From  Dec,  1888,  to 
Nov.,  1890,  engaged  in  shore  duty  in  New  York  and  Philadelphia,  and  also  perfect- 
ing in  leisure  moments  the  range  finder.  In  Oct.,  1890,  received  a  year's  leave, 
most  of  which  spent  in  Europe  with  wife  and  daughter.  In  Oct.,  1891,  ordered  to 
U.  S.  S.  Yorktown  and  went  in  her  to  Chile;  was  in  Valparaiso  during  the  height 
of  the  crisis  there,  under  the  command  of  Captain  R.  D.  Evans  (Fighting  Bob), 
whose  conduct  during  the  episode  gained  so  much  honor  for  himself,  his  ship, 
and  the  United  States;  went  from  Chile,  after  the  crisis  had  passed,  to  Bering  Sea, 
and  spent  the  summer  in  the  Yorktown,  then  flagship  of  the  patrol  fieet  for  sup- 
pressing seal  poaching.  In  July,  1893,  the  Yorktown  being  then  at  New  York, 
was  transferred  to  the  Flagship  San  Francisco.  Shortly  after  this,  the  San  Fran- 
cisco was  ordered  to  Rio  de  Janeiro,  Brazil,  to  watch  over  American  interests  dur- 
ing the  rebellion  of  the  navj',  under  Admirals  Mello  and  da  Gama  against  the 
government;  was  on  board  the  San  Francisco,  under  Admiral  Benham,  when  that 
gallant  admiral  cleared  his  fleet  for  action  and  forced  the  Brazilian  navy  to  agree 
to  the  just  demands  of  the  United  States.  After  the  conclusion  of  hostilities,  the 
San  Francisco  was  ordered  to  Bluefields,  Nicaragua,  to  protect  American  interests 
in  the  triangular  dispute  going  on  between  England,  Nicaragua  and  the  Mosquito 
Indians;  detached  from  the  San  Francisco  in  Oct.,  1894.  During  this  cruise  per- 
fected range  finder,  and  invented  new  form  of  position  finder;  invented  also  stad- 
imeter,  range  telegraph,  helm  indicator,  steering  telegraph,  telescope  sight,  elec- 
tric telescope-sighting-system,  and  electric  engine-telegraph.  At  the  present  mo- 
ment, the  range  finder  has  been  adopted  by  the  navy  and  is  placed  in  all  the  new 
ships;  the  stadimeter  has  proved  a  complete  success  in  service  and  is  being  sup- 
plied to  all  the  ships.  The  range  indicator,  helm  indicator,  steering  telegraph  and 
electric  engine  telegraph  have  passed  successful  tests  in  service  at  sea,  and  are 
being  installed  in  the  new  battleships.  The  telescope  sight  is  being  tested  now  in 
various  ships.  In  the  summer  of  1895  invented  electric  lachometer  for  continu- 
ously indicating  on  the  f:)ridge  of  a  ship  the  direction  and  speed  of  revolution  of  the 
ship's  engines.     This  instrument  is  now  undergoing  a  test  in  service  on  board  the

3271.  PROF.  FRANKLIN  PROCTOR  FISK  (Franklin  W.,  Ebenezer, 
Ebenezer,  William,  Ebenezer,  William,  William,  John,  William,  Robert,  Simon, 
Simon.  William,  Symond),  b.  Chicago,  111.,  Oct.  27,  1857;  m.  Dec.  27,  1881,  Kath- 
erine  Tanner,  of  Rockford,  111.  She  was  born  in  Wisconsin,  but  when  quite 
young  moved  with  her  parents  to  Rockford.  111.,  where  she  always  resided.  When 
12  years  of  age  she  entered  the  Rockford  College,  where  she  graduated  in  1881, 
only  six  months  before  she  was  married  tc  Frank  Fisk.  Very  soon  after  remov- 
ing to  Chicago,  she  began  her  musical  career  as  a  pupil  of  Miss  F.  A.  Roots,  and 
she  thdre  enlisted  the  interest  of  Professor  Tomlins,  who  was  her  next  teacher. 
After  much  solo  work,  Mrs.  Fisk  sought  the  advice  and  guidance  of  Mrs.  S.  H. 
Eddy,  who  admired  her  wonderful  voice,  but  said  that  she  must  give  years  to 
study  before  she  could  expect  to  do  much  with  it.  She  accepted  the  verdict,  and 
studied  for  four  years  intently  under  Mrs.  Eddy.  From  that  time  she  became  the 
most  popular  singer  in  the  West.  She  soon  determined  to  go  to  London,  and 
having  been  heard  by  Mr.  Daniel  Mayer,  was  induced  to  sign  a  three  years'  en- 
gagement with  him.  After  her  arrival  there  she  studied  French  and  German  songs 
under  Mr.  Henschel  and  Mr.  Blume  and  passed  her  oratorios  with  Signor  Ran- 
degger,  making  her  debut  at  St.  James'  Hall  at  the  close  of  1892.  Her  success 
was  such  that  before  the  end  of  January,  1893,  she  had  been  heard  in  that  hall  four- 
teen times,  as  well  as  at  the  Crystal  Palace,  Albert  Hall  and  the  London  Sym- 
phony Concerts.  After  a  short  visit  to  her  native  country  she  returned  to  Lon- 
don, which  will  be  her  headquarters,  though  she  will  sing  throughout  Europe. 
In  private  life  Mrs.  Fisk  is  as  charming  as  she  is  in  her  professional,  for  she  is 
singularly  gifted  both  mentally  and  physically,  has  most  excellent  taste  in  dress, 
speaks  French  fluently,  and  has  a  good  knowledge  of  German  and  Italian.  The 
rise  to  her  position  as  one  of  the  leading  American  contraltos  is  really  a  record 
of  labor,  perseverance  and  patience.  Prof.  Fisk  was  born  in  Chicago  and  in  referring 
to  him  the  Post  says:  "Abreast  of  the  times,  keeping  along  with  all  requirements 
at  the  recognized  Chicago  pace,  is  the  Northwest  Division  high  school,  at  Poto- 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  473 


mac  Avenue  and  Davis  Street.  Dominated  by  the  idea  that  sound  practical  sense 
and  reason  may  be  drilled  into  the  young  as  well  as  Greek,  Latin,  mathematics 
or  history,  and  possessed  of  a  curriculum  which  is  far  more  elaborate  and  attractive 
than  that  of  a  large  number  of  the  small  colleges  in  the  West,  this  Chicago  school 
is  growing  in  popularity,  and  has  come  to  be  the  ideal  school  for  the  thousands  of 
children  who  live  in  the  northwest  section  of  the  city.  The  pride  which  Principal 
Franklin  B.  Fisk  takes  in  his  school  is  indeed  pardonable.  He  has  stamped  his  indi- 
viduality indelibly  on  the  institution  over  which  he  presides  and  the  credit  of  it  all  is 
his,  to  have  and  to  hold.  Northwest  Division  high  school  is  now  a  little  more  than 
six  years  old  and  it  is  a  prodigy.  Seven  hundred  scholars  attend  it  regularly  and 
nineteen  teachers  assist  Mr.  Fisk  in  their  instruction.  Studying  is  a  business  un- 
der ]\Ir.  Fisk's  regime.  His  pupils  go  to  school  to  learn,  and  not  simply  to  be 
where  they  cannot  annoy  their  parents  for  a  day.  The  hours  in  school  are  short, 
only  one  session  being  held  from  9  o'clock  a.  m.  to  2  o'clock  p.  m.,  with  a  half- 
hour  for  luncheon  and  a  whispering  recess  of  five  minutes.  The  best  of  order  is 
maintained  in  the  class  and  recitation  rooms,  and  nothing  distracts  the  attention  of 
any  pupil.  To  describe  Northwest  Division  high  school,  its  rooms,  its  depart- 
ments and  its  course  of  study  would  be  simply  going  over  old  ground.  It  is  a 
complete  school  from  alpha  to  omega,  and  it  is  a  great  institution.  It  fills  a  place 
in  Chicago's  educational  facilities  which  no  man  attempts  to  dispute  and  it  affords 
children  who  would  be  compelled  to  stop  with  finishing  at  the  graded  schools  an 
opportunity  for  a  higher  education,  which  they  and  their  parents  most  assuredly 
appreciate.  It  is  asserted  that  at  least  thirty  per  cent  of  the  seven  hundred  pupils 
in  the  school  would  have  been  compelled  to  go  to  work  for  a  living  this  fall  had 
not  Mr.  Fisk's  school  been  available,  simply  because  their  parents  couldn't  afford 
to  send  them  to  a  college  or  a  university.  And  an  education  means  more  than  dol- 
lars and  cents  to  the  average  child  of  school  age.  As  an  example  of  the  plan  upon 
which  Mr.  Fisk  conducts  this  school  one  scene  in  the  big  gymnasium  in  the  base- 
ment may  be  thus  described:  Thirty  girls,  of  all  sizes  and  forms,  dressed  in  blue 
trousers,  very  full,  blouses  of  the  same  material,  stockings  to  match  and  light 
shoes,  romping  and  racing,  jumping,  leaping,  laughing,  swinging  on  ropes  hung 
from  the  ceiling,  with  rings  attached,  turning  on  the  horizontal  bar,  climbing  lad- 
ders, their  feet  higher  than  their  heads  half  the  time  and  every  mother's  daughter 
of  them  ruddy-faced  and  seemingly  not  exhausted.  No  unseemly  behavior,  no 
rough  jesting,  no  false  modesthood.  Just  healthy  girlhood  effervescent."  Res.  s.  p.

days;  practiced  for  some  years  in  Killingly,  Conn.,  and  for  the  past  forty-three  years 
in  Greenfield,   Mass.,  where  he  now  resides.     He  has  led  a  very  active  life  and

has  always  had  a  large  and  successful  medical  practice  up  to  his  8oth  year.  He 
was  an  early  abolitionist  and  a  contemporary  of  Garrison,  Phillips  and  others.  He 
is  an  independent  free  thinker  and  fully  believes  in  nature's  laws  and  that  cause 
and  efifect  govern  and  control  the  universe.  The  old  doctor  was  made  a  Freemason 
in  Pittsburg  the  night  he  was  21  years  of  age;  he  was  loyal  all  through  the  turbulent 
times  of  Morgan  and  has  long  been  a  Knight  Templar  and  a  33d  degree  Mason. 
There  have  been  but  few  men  of  his  pluck  and  nerve  and  strength  of  blood,  strong 
perceptions,  reasoning  powers,  readiness  in  debate,  conversational  gifts  and  ex- 
temporaneous speech.  When  he  departs  from  this  existence  he  will  be  long  re- 
membered as  a  man  of  remarkable  personal  character  and  ability,  of  a  tender  and 
sensitive  nature,  a  lover  of  science  and  art,  poetry,  music,  and  all  that  is  grand

Aug.  22,  1825;  m.  June  23.  1867,  Rosanna  Wagoner,  b.  Oct.  19,  1840.  He  at- 
tended with  his  brother  the  free  schools  at  Cincinnati,  and  with  his  mother,  in  1834, 
went  east  and  visited  relatives.  While  there  the  house  was  burned  in  Cincinnati. 
When  they  returned  home  in  the  fall  they  were  three  weeks  coming  down  the 
Ohio  River  from  Wheeling,  W.  Va.  to  Cincinnati,  on  a  canal  boat,  for  the  river 
was  so  low  that  the  steamboats  could  not  run.  They  all  came  to  Illinois  in  1835, 
arriving  at  Havana,  Aug.  7,  being  delayed  by  Eli  C.  having  the  small-pox.  His 
father  brought  a  steam  engine  to  put  up  a  saw  mill,  but  not  having  the  necessary 
capital,  he  sold  out,  but  put  up  the  mill  for  them;  then  moved  on  the  farm  in  Aug., 
1837,  Eli  C.  now  lives  on.  In  Oct.,  1842,  a  team  ran  away  with  him  and  harrowed 
him  under;  he  has  been  a  cripple,  and  walks  with  a  cane,  ever  since.  He  at- 
tended school  two  or  three  quarters  while  living  in  Havana,  and  three  while  on 
the  farm.  In  1847  he  entered  the  preoaratory  department  of  Illinois  Col^ge. 
Graduated  in  1852.  He  colported  for  the  American  Tract  Society  one  vacation, 
and  another  for  the  American  Sunday  School  Union.  His  labors  were  in  Mason 
Co.,    111.,    and    organized    Sunday    schools    in    nearly    every    schoolhouse    in    the

county.  He  read  theology  with  Rev.  A.  Hale,  of  Springfield,  111.  He  preached 
his  first  sermon  Oct.  12,  1856.  Ordained  Feb.  20,  1858  as  pastor  of  the  Mason 
Congregational  Church,  which  he  was  the  means  of  forming.  He  resigned  Dec, 
1859;  preached  for  more  than  two  years  after,  and  supported  himself.  Finally  the 
disloyal  element  became  so  defiant  that  he  held  many  meetings  throughout  Mason 
and  other  counties  in  favor  of  the  Union.  He  has  been  persecuted  by  that  dis- 
loyal element  ever  since.  In  order  to  meet  them,  he  studied  law,  so  that  the  legal 
I)rinciples  involved  could  be  used  by  him  in  the  controversy.  He  was  admitted  to 
the  bar  in  Mar.,  1868.  He  rarely  practices,  for  he  would  rather  have  a  clear  conscence 
than  the  best  legal  reputation  in  the  State.  He  has  followed  farming  ever  smce 
he  resigned  the  pastorate  of  the  church,  contnuing  on  the  old  homestead.  His 
marriage  has  been  crowned  with  seven  children,  four  daughters  and  three  sons  He 
has  continued  on  the  farm,  and  by  successful  crossing  and  interbreeding,  produced 
the  "Fisk"  corn,  both  white  and  yellow.  He  is  and  has  been  the  president  of  the 
Mason  and  Fulton  Counties'  Old  Settlers'  Society  for  nearly  two  years;  been 
school  treasurer  quite  a  number  of  years,  until  he  resigned;  eight  years  notary 
public;  got  the  Mason  County  Farmers'  Institute  on  its  feet,  then  resigned  its 
secretaryship.  He  has  been  engaged  in  quite  a  number  of  other  things,  but  never

of  Rev.  Isaac  and  Sarah  (Budd)  Parsons.  He  was  born  in  Wales,  Mass.,  formerly 
a  part  of  Brimfield.  His  father  was  a  farmer  and  he  passed  his  early  years  in  the 
customary  round  of  duties  pertaining  to  the  life  of  a  farmer's  boy.  When  he  was 
12  j^ears  old  he  was  converted  and  very  soon  formed  the  plan  of  getting  an  edu- 
cation. His  father  gave  him  his  time  and  he  went  to  Northampton  where  he 
was  employed  in  a  mill  vintil  he  was  able  to  enter  Monson  Academy.  From  there 
he  went  to  Amherst  College,  from  which  he  graduated  in  1840.  After  teaching  for 
two  years  at  Salem,  N.  J.,  he  entered  the  Theological  Institute  of  Connecticut, 
then  at  East  Windsor,  from  which  he  graduated  in  1845.  While  pursuing  a  post- 
graduate course  he  was  called  to  assist  in  evangelistic  meetings  at  East  Haddam, 
where  he  met  and  won  for  his  wife,  Miss  Harriet  M.  Parsons,  the  daughter  of 
the  honored  and  beloved  pastor  of  the  East  Haddam  church  for  forty  years.  Rev. 
Isaac  Parsons.  There  he  was  ordained  May  19,  1847,  and  there,  upon  the  same  day 
he  was  married,  the  wedding  ceremony  following  the  ordination  exercises.  He 
immediately  went  to  Wisconsin,  as  a  home  missionary,  under  the  Connecticut 
Home  Missionary  Society.  There  his  first  child  was  born,  and  there  too,  in 
those  western  wilds,  it  was  buried.  His  wife's  health  failed  and  he  returned  to 
the  east  and  was  installed  pastor  of  the  church  in  ^larlborough,  Nov.  8,  1850. 
Here  he  remained  seven  years.  From  this  place  he  went  to  Canton,  where  he 
Avas  installed  Feb.  2.  1858.  While  at  Canton  the  excitement  over  the  anti-slavery 
controversy  reached  its  height  and  preferring  not  to  remain  where  the  church 
seemed  likelv  to  be  somewhat  broken  up  by  it  he  resigned  and  removed  with  his 
family  to  East  Haddam.  His  wife's  aged  parents  were  still  living  and  greatly 
needed  his  care.  There  he  remained  several  years,  but  removed  to  Colchester 
where  he  taught  in  Bacon  .Academy  There  he  had  a  severe  attack  of  pneumonia. 
His  health  improved  somewhat,  and  he  again  entered  upon  pastoral  work,  first 
at  Barkhamsted,  for  nine  months,  and  then  at  Wolcott,  for  three  years.  But 
the  labor  of  a  pastor's  life  proved  too  great  for  his  failing  health,  and  having  pur- 
chased a  farm  at  Charlton.  Mass.,  he  removed  to  that  place,  where  he  lived  very 
quietly  for  twelve  years.     At  the  end  of  that  period  his  health  had  so  far  declined

that  he  was  unable  to  even  superintend  the  small  farm  which  he  owned.  He  sold  it 
and  removed  to  Southington,  where  his  oldest  son  is  a  physician.  There  he  lived 
for  three  years,  slowly  yielding  to  consumption:  and  there  he  fell  asleep  at  the 
ripe  age  of  70.  So  ended  a  quiet,  unobtrusive,  successful  life.  Mr.  Fiske's  most 
prominent  characteristic,  perhaps,  was  faithfulness.  Possessed  of  none  of  those 
elements  which  the  world  calls  brilliant,  never  attracting  attention  by  anything 
in  any  degree  sensational,  his  ministry  was  successful  because  it  was  faithful.  Mr. 
Fiske  was  a  conservative  man,  emphatically  a  man  of  the  "old  school."  He 
was  interested  in  all  the  questions  of  the  day,  and  had  very  decided  convictions 
upon  them  all.  He  kept  track  in  his  sick  room  of  all  the  current  themes  of  the 
pulpit  and  the  press,  and  talked  with  intelligence  upon  them.  But  he  clung 
with  ardent  devotion  to  the  belief  and  customs  of  the  fathers.  His  convictions 
were  the  result  of  honest  and  earnest  thought  and  he  did  not  yield  them  to 
any  one.     He  d.   Apr.   17,   1887;   res.   Marlboro,   Conn.

i860;  d.  Mar.  9,  1885.  He  was  born  in  Belvidere,  111.,  where  he  was  educated  at 
the  public  schools  and  at  Waverly,  la.  Later  he  taught  school  and  worked  in  a 
drug  store.  In  the  Iowa  Congressional  District,  represented  by  Hon.  D.  B.  Hen- 
derson, young  Fiske  passed  a  successful  competitive  examination,  both  mental 
and  physical,  and  was  appointed  to  a  West  Point  cadetship  in  1873.  While  at 
school  he  was  studious  and  at  his  graduation  was  number  two  in  the  large  class. 
Captain  Fisk  is  an  officer  of  large  experience,  having  been  in  charge  of  a  number 
of  important  government  works  in  various  parts  of  the  country.  He  graduated 
at  the  United  States  military  school  in  June,  1877,  and  was  assigned  to  the  corps  of 
engineers.  He  was  on  duty  at  the  United  States  engineer  school  at  Willets  Point, 
N.  Y.,  until  September,  1880,  when  he  was  detailed  as  assistant  to  Gen.  Q.  A.  Gil- 
more,  and,  under  him,  had  local  charge  of  United  States  river  and  harbor  im- 
provements in  Florida  until  Feb.,  1882.  He  started  during  that  time  the  jetties 
both  at  Cumberland  Sound,  Georgia  and  Florida,  and  at  the  mouth  of  the  St. 
John's  River,  Florida.  These  are  important  works,  one  of  the  jetties  at  the  St. 
John's  River  being  9,400  feet  in  length,  and  the  other  6,800.  They  are  now  doing 
good  work,  and  have  materially  benefited  the  navigation  of  the  river,  up  which 
deep-draught  steamers  ascend  about  100  miles.  Captain  Fisk  was  assistant  to 
Major  S.  M.  Mansfield,  corps  of  engineers,  at  Galveston,  Tex.,  from  Feb.,  1882, 
to  Oct.,  1884,  on  United  States  river  and  harbor  improvements  in  Texas,  assisting 
during  that  time  in  making  various  hydrographic  surveys  of  different  harbors. 
From  Oct.,  1884,  to  Aug.,  1885,  he  acted  as  secretary  and  disbursing  officer  of  the 
Missouri  River  Commission,  with  immediate  charge  of  the  surveys  of  the  ]\Iis- 
souri  River  from  Fort  Benton,  Mont.,  to  its  mouth.  From  Aug.,  1885,  to  Aug., 
T887,  he  was  assistant  professor  of  civil  and  military  engineering  at  the  United 
States  Military  Academy,  and  during  September  and  November  acted  as  assistant 
in  the  office  of  the  chief  of  engineers,  LTnited  States  Army,  at  Washington,  D.  C. 
From  Nov.,  1877,  to  Feb.,  1891,  he  was  at  New  Orleans,  in  charge  of  United  States 
river  and  harbor  improvements  in  Louisiana,  south  of  Red  River,  except  the  ^lis- 
sissippi  River  above  the  head  of  the  passes  and  the  upper  end  of  the  Alchafalaya. 
He  had  charge  of  the  construction  of  about  three  miles  of  jetties  at  Sabine  Pass, 
and  reported  upon  "the  depth  and  width  of  a  channel  secured  and  maintained  by 
jetties  at  the  mouth  of  the  Mississippi  River,"  upon  which  payments  were  made 
to  the  Eads  estate,  and  as  engineer  of  the  seventh  and  eighth  lighthouse  districts 
had  charge  of  the  erection  of  eight  lighthouses.  From  Feb.,  1891,  to  Oct.,  1892, 
Captain  Fisk  was  stationed  at  Duluth,  Minn.,  in  charge  of  United  States  river  and 
harbor  improvements  on  Lake  Superior,  except  the  Portage  lake  and  Lake  Superi- 
or ship  canals,  having  charge  of  important  harbor  improvements  at  Duluth,  Su- 
perior,  Marquette,  Ashland  and  elsewhere.     From   Oct.,   1892,  to  Nov.,   1895,  he

b.  Boston,  Aug.  14,  1841;  m.  there  Dec.  14,  1870,  Kate  Washburn,  b.  Mar.  19,  1848. 
He  was  born  in  the  good  old  city  of  Boston  and  has  clung  very  fondly  to  it  ever 
since  his  birth.  His  school  days,  preparatory  to  his  college  life,  were  passed  at  that 
well  known  Boston  institution  named  Chauncy  Hall  school,  where  he  was  fitted 
for  college,  entering  Harvard  in  the  year  1858,  without  condition  and  giaduating 
in  the  class  of  1862;  was  a  member  of  the  famous  Hasty  Pudding  Club.  On  Sept. 
29,  1862,  he  enlisted  as  a  private  in  the  Forty-first  Regiment.  Massachusetts  Volun- 
teers, commanded  by  Col.  Thomas  Chickering,  of  piano  fame.  He  was  with  the 
Forty-first  as  Commissary  Sergeant  until  its  departure  to  the  Department  of  the 
Gulf,  and  just  on  the  day  of  its  departure  received  a  commission  as  Second  Lieu- 
tenant in  that  regiment,  and  was  ordered  to  report  for  staff  duty  to  Brigadier- 
General  George  L.  Andrews,  then  in  command  of  the  remainder  of  the  Banks  expe- 
dition, with  headquarters  in  New  York  City.  With  the  last  regiment  composing 
the  expedition,  he  sailed  with  General  Andrews  and  stafif  for  New  Orleans  early  in 
1863;  was  present  during  the  whole  of  the  memorable  siege  of  Port  Hudson,  La., 
and  with  General  Andrews  was  one  of  the  first  to  enter  that  desolated  place  on 
the  morning  of  its  surrender;  was  placed  in  charge  of  General  Gardner,  one  of  its 
bravest  defenders,  and  assisted  in  the  parole  of  its  other  defenders.  After  its 
evacuation  he  remained  at  Port  Hudson  on  garrison  duty.  He  visited  Vicksburg 
after  its  surrender,  carrying  dispatches  to  General  McPherson,  then  in  command 
at  that  point.  He  narrowly  escaped  capture  as  bearer  of  dispatches  to  General 
Smith  at  the  beginning  of  the  Red  River  campaign,  ascending  the  river  in  a  small 
steamer  within  a  few  miles  of  Fort  De  Russey  before  the  expedition  had  made  its 
start  up  the  river,  meeting  General  Smith  the  following  morning  with  his  com- 
mand at  the  entrance  to  the  river.  On  Oct.  27,  1863,  he  was  commissioned  First 
Lieutenant  in  the  Forty-first  Massachusetts  Volunteers,  and  in  Apr.,  1864,  visited 
the  north  with  General  Andrews,  who  was  on  sick  leave.  On  July  12,  1864,  was 
commissioned  by  President  Lincoln  as  Paymaster  of  United  States  Army  and 
ordered  back  to  the  Department  of  the  Gulf  with  headquarters  at  New  Orleans. 
On  Oct.  I,  1864,  he  resigned  his  commission  as  Paymaster  owing  to  ill  health,  and 
returned  north;  but  owing  to  severe  malaria  contracted  in  the  service,  was  obliged 
in  Feb.,  1866,  to  visit  the  Azores,  and  remained  at  Fayal,  and  St.  Michaels  at  the 
Hot  Springs  until  June,  when  he  returned  home.  On  his  return  he  entered  the 
employ   of  the   Merchants'   Union   Express   Company  and   during  the   last   thirty

Baker,  b.  Boston,  Nov.  28,  1814.  "Dr.  Fiske  was  the  son  of  the  late  Dr.  Oliver  Fiske, 
-and  was  born  in  Worcester.  He  graduated  at  Harvard  University  in  1818,  and 
after  pursuing  his  studies  for  the  practice  of  medicine,  removed  to  the  town  of 
Hingham.  His  father  will  be  remembered  as  the  founder  and  proprietor  of  the 
first,  and  for  many  years  the  only,  nursery  of  fruit  and  ornamental  trees  in  the 
•country,  and  to  whom  in  the  first  instance,  this  city  is  indebted  for  so  much  of  the 
rural  beauty  which  distinguishes  it.  Dr.  Fiske  inherited  his  father's  taste  and  pas- 
sionate love  of  nature.  Before  leaving  permanently  his  native  place,  he  originated 
-and  helped  to  execute  a  work,  for  which  present  and  future  generations  of  our  cit- 
izens will  bless  his  memory,  although  few  perhaps  may  know  even  the  name  of 
their  benefactor.  Those  beautiful  rows  of  shade  trees  which  line  and  adorn  our 
Main,  Front  and  Park  Streets,  were  chiefly  planted  by  an  association  of  young 
men,  then  pursuing  their  legal  and  medical  studies  in  the  town,  among  whom  Dr. 
Fiske  was  the  most  active.  Frequently  in  later  years  has  he  pointed  out  to  the 
writer  of  this  notice  an  elm  or  ash  or  maple  which  his  own  hands  had  planted, 
that  others  might  enjoy  the  shade  thereof.  In  his  adopted  home,  the  same  refined 
taste  and  public  spirit  have  ever  characterized  him.  The  conversion  of  the  old 
neglected  town  burial  ground,  which  had  been  used  for  more  than  200  years,  into  a 
beautiful,  romantic,  well  kept  rural  cemetery,  a  task  so  difficult  of  accomplishment 
that  it  has  scarcely  in  any  other  instance  been  undertaken,  the  embellishment  of  his 
own  home,  furnishing  motive  and  incentive  to  like  efforts  by  others,  the  educa- 
tional and  other  institutions  of  the  town,  the  blessings  of  the  poor  to  whom  he 
ministered,  and  the  respect  of  all,  are  proof  of  the  good  works,  and  monuments  to 
the  memory  of  the  'Good  Physician.'  "     He  d.  May  8,  1866;  res.  Hingham,  Mass.

the  Erie  Canal  came  to  Lenox,  Madison  County,  N.  Y.,  to  get  into  what  was  then 
called  the  west.  He  went  without  a  penny  and  walked  the  last  thirteen  miles  on 
■a  snowy,  slushy  day.     He  brought  grain  by  wagon  load  down  to  Albany,  traded  for

groceries  and  other  commodities  and  sold  them  in  Lenox  to  the  Indians  and  set- 
tlers. Later  he  established  a  store,  finally  two  stores,  one  at  Oneida  Lake.  He 
formed  a  partnership  with  a  Mr.  Howlan-l  (Howland  &  Fiske),  burned  the  woods 
in  that  section  to  procure  the  ashes  to  manufacture  potash.  He  did  a  successful 
business  for  fifty  years,  and  was  known  as  Major  Fiske,  one  of  the  Inspector-Gen- 
erals of  the  State  of  New  York.  He  was  elected  to  several  political  offices,  but  the 
latter  years  of  his  life  he  was  a  private  banker  and  broker,  under  the  firm  name  of 
William  E.  Fiske  &  Son.  He  died  at  Canastota.  William  E.  Fiske  was  a  man 
of  character  and  ability,  of  the  strictest  integrity;  while  delicate  and  modest  he  never 
failed  to  stand  by  his  opinion.  He  was  a  strong  anti-slavery  man;  his  house  was  a 
station  on  the  underground  railroad.  He  was  also  a  strong  temperance  man  and 
organized  the  first  temperance  society  in  his  county.  He  wrote  and  lectured  for 
the  cause,  and  his  writings  and  lectures  were  pronounced  fine.  He  died  beloved 
and  respected  by  all  those  who  knew  him.  He  d.  Nov.  23,  1873;  res.  Lenox

Weston,  Sept.  8,  1792;  m.  Apr.  8,  1818,  Martha  Stearns,  b.  Oct.  19,  1787,  dau.  of 
Isaac,  of  Ashburnham;  d.  Oct.  2,  1868.  Sewall  Fiske  was  born  on  the  old  farm 
at  Weston,  and  lived  and  died  there.  The  old  English  custom  has  been  observed 
by  our  ancestors  from  the  first  settlement  at  Weston  of  passing  the  land  from; 
father  to  son,  and  there  has  been  no  intervention.  He  was  a  farmer  all  his  life, 
and  in  addition  conducted  upon  the  farm  a  store  with  a  partner  and  employes,  he 
buying  all  goods  for  the  same.  That  was  before  the  days  of  railroads,  and  they  made  a 
great  deal  of  business  by  buying  out  countrymen  who  were  on  their  way  to  Boston 
loaded  down  with  poultry,  turkeys,  geese,  ducks,  chickens,  etc.  They  came  in 
droves  in  the  winter  time,  utilizing  the  sleighing,  and  as  the  great  highway  through 
Massachusetts  from  Vermont  and  New  Hampshire  passed  through  the  farm  it 
gave  many  opportunities  for  speculation.  In  the  fall  he  would  remain  in  Boston 
from  Monday  morning  to  Saturday  night  engaged  in  disposing  of  this  produce 
thus  purchased  from  the  northern  farmers. 

He  commanded,  in  1812,  a  company  of  infantry  that,  in  connection  with  one 
other  company,  "The  Ancient  and  Honorable  Artillery  of  Boston,"  was  called 
out  by  the  State  of  Massachusetts  to  defend  the  arsenal  at  Watertown.  The  Bos- 
ton company  is  still  in  existence.  They  both  received  their  charter  from  George 
III.  when  Massachusetts  was  an  English  colony.  He  was  a  strong  Whig.  He  was 
a  delegate  to  the  National  Convention  in  Baltimore  when  Henry  Clay  was  nomi-

nated.  He  and  his  wife  were  Congregationalists,  members  of  the  church  in  Lin- 
coln, two  and  one-half  miles  from  home.  Every  Sabbath  two  teams  were  em- 
ployed in  carrying  the  family  to  church,  where  the  day  was  spent,  and  the  long 
sermons  of  forenoon  and  afternoon  listened  to. 

He  was  for  many  years  prominent  among  his  townsmen,  and  was  many  times 
elected  as  Selectman,  Assessor  and  Tax  Collector,  as  well  as  other  town  duties.

He  was  graduated  at  Dartmouth  in 
181 7,  and  had  charge  of  an  academy  in 
Newcastle,  Me.,  for  a  year.  He  was 
chosen  tutor  at  Dartmouth  in  1818, 
which  post  he  held  two  years,  and  was 
graduated  at  Andover  Theological  Sem- 
inary in  1823.  In  November  of  that 
year  he  was  ordained  as  an  evangelist, 
and  went  to  Savannah,  Ga.,  to  preach 
among  the  seamen  and  others  not  be- 
longing to  any  church.  In  April,  1824, 
while  yet  in  Savannah,  he  declined  an 
invitation  to  supply  the  pastorate  in 
Concord,  N.  H.,  during  the  session  of 
the  Legislature,  and  on  the  same  day 
he  declined  the  solicitation  to  rep- 
resent the  American  Foreign  Mission 
Board  as  a  missionary  to  Palestine  or 
to  China.  He  was  also  offered  the  pro- 
fessorship of  mathematics  and  natural 
philosophy  in  Middlebury  College,  Vt., 
but  declined  it,  and  became  professor 
of  Latin  and  Greek  in  Amherst  in  1824, 
addmg  to  his  duties  as  instructor  the  department  of  belles-letters  from  1825 
till  1833,  and  from  1833  till  1836  was  professor  of  languages  (including  the  modern) 
at  Amherst.  He  was  transferred  to  the  chair  of  intellectual  and  moral  philosophy, 
and  held  it  from  1836  till  the  time  of  his  death.  In  1846,  on  account  of  failing 
healtli,  he  visited  Palestine,  where  he  died,  and  was  buried  in  Jerusalem  on 
Mount  Zion.  He  was  the  father  of  the  author  Helen  Hunt  Jackson  (q.  v.)  He

female  seminary.  In  October,  -1852,  she  married  Capt.  Edward 
B.  Hunt.  Slie  had  become  known  as  a  contributor  to  periodi- 
cal literature,  under  the  signature  of  "H.  H.,"  when  in  October, 
1875,  she  married  William  S.  Jackson,  and  thereafter  spent 
much  of  her  time  in  Colorado  Springs,  where  her  husband  was 
a  banker.  She  became  actively  interested  in  the  treatment  of 
the  Indians  by  the  U.  S.  Government  in  1879,  and  strove  to 
better  the  condition  of  that  race.  In  1883  she  was  appointed 
special  commissioner  to  examine  into  the  condition  of  the 
Mission  Indians  of  California,  and  while  thus  engaged  she

death-bed  she  wrote  to  the  President  a  pathetic  appeal  with 
reference  to  "righting  the  wrongs  of  the  Indian  race."  Her

low,  N.  H.,  was  born  in  Medfield,  Mass.  In  early  manhood  he  settled  in  Marlow, 
and  opened  a  country  store  at  what  is  known  as  Marlow  Hill,  where  he  con- 
ducted a  thriving  and  prosperous  business,  until  what  is  now  Marlow  Village  be- 
came the  principal  place  in  that  town;  his  store  and  family  were  then  removed 
to  that  village.  There  he  continued  to  thrive  and  became  the  foremost  citizen  of 
that  town,  both  in  wealth  and  position.  He  married  Eliza  Stone,  of  that  town, 
who  was  a  most  estimable  lady.  They  had  five  children,  Harriett,  Arthur  W., 
Henry.  Catherine  and  Eliza.  Mr.  Fiske  and  his  wife  were  both  members  of 
the  Methodist  Church  in  Marlow,  and  very  active  in  its  support.  By  his  will 
he  endowed  this  church,  and  after  his  decease  his  widow  contributed  largely  to 
its  support.  Mr.  Fiske  held  various  town,  county  and  State  offices,  the  principal 
of  which  was  State  Senator,  to  which  office  he  was  twice  elected,  from  1863  to 
1866.  He  was  a  man  of  strong  character  and  sterling  integrity.  He  died  in 
Marlow,  respected  by  all  who  knew  him.     He  d.  Jan.  6,  1873;  res.  Marlow,  N.  H.

Framingham  Academy,  and  graduated  from  Harvard  in  1825.  He  practiced  law  in 
Boston  all  his  life.  He  lived  in  Boston  until  about  1848,  when  he 
moved    back     to     Weston,     still     retaining    his     office     in     Boston.       He     was

one  of  the  leaders  of  the  bar  of  his  time.  His  wife  was  Hannah 
Rogers  Bradford,  a  daughter  of  the  late  Capt.  Gamaliel  Bradford,  of  Bos- 
ton, formerly  of  Duxbury,  Mass.  Mr.  Fiske's  learning  as  a  lawyer  was  large 
and  always  ready  for  use,  his  judgment  was  prompt  and  sound,  his  instincts  rarely 
at  fault.  His  industry  was  untiring,  and  his  executive  talent  so  great  that  he  des- 
patched without  aid  and  without  apparent  efifort  an  amount  of  business  detail  which 
would  seem  incredible  to  any  one  who  had  not  witnessed  it.  His  sagacity  in  mat- 
ters of  business  as  well  as  in  what  pertained  directly  to  his  profession  was  remark- 
able. There  are  few  of  our  merchants  and  business  men  who  have  not  had 
occasion  to  appreciate  and  profit  by  it.  With  these  qualities,  and  with  a  genial  tem- 
per, a  hearty  manner,  and  a  devotion  to  the  interests  of  his  clients,  which  even 
on  his  deathbed  never  let  him  spare  himself,  it  is  not  surprising  that  he  reached 
a  position  in  his  profession  to  which  there  are  few  parallels,  and  enjoyed  more 
of  the  substantial  fruits  of  success  than  has  perhaps  ever  fallen  to  the  lot  of  any 
other  member  of  the  Boston  bar.     He  d.  Mar.  22,  1864;  res.  Weston,  Mass.

92.  He  was  born  in  Mass.  and  moved  to  Kentucky  in  1817.  He  went  by  water 
to  Boston,  Mass.,  and  from  there  overland  in  a  "C"  spring  coach.  He  was  a  man 
of  means  when  he  left  Boston,  but  in  exchange  for  $40,000  in  gold — quite  a  for- 
tune in  those  days — he  took  bills  on  a  Detroit.  Mich.,  bank.  On  his  arrival  in 
Cincinnati,  Ohio,  he  learned  that  the  Michigan  bank  had  burst  and  he  was  with- 
out much  ready  cash.  His  daughter  Hannah  had  the  bills  in  her  possession  for 
a  long  time.  While  residing  in  Maine  he  owned  what  was  known  in  those  days 
as  the  "Owls  Head,"  a  celebrated  point  on  the  coast  of  Maine.  He  resided  at 
Camden  and  Thomaston,  Me.  He  was  a  Mason  in  high  standing  and  on  his  re- 
moval to  Kentucky  organized  a  blue  lodge.  He  died  of  "milk  sickness,"  a  dis- 
ease not  known  much  nowadays.  He  was  a  very  large  man  and  weighed  260 
pounds.  He  purchased  1,000  acres  of  land  which  was  left  to  the  family  on  his 
death.     He  d.  about  1835;  res.  Camden,  Me.,  Readfield,  Ohio,  and  ,  Ky.

and  Mrs.  Fiske  were  married  in  Illinois  in  1845,  and  six  years  later  removed  to 
California,  where  they  have  since  resided,  the  past  twenty-five  years  having  been 
spent  in  San  Francisco.  He  settled  at  Sutter  Creek,  where  he  was  engaged  in 
mining,  and  was  elected  State  Senator  from  that  district.  From  there  he  went  to 
Woodland.  He  was  instrumental  in  the  erection  of  the  Hesperian  College  there. 
The  last  twenty  years  he  has  resided  in  San  Francisco,  in  which  place  he  com- 
manded the  respect  and  esteem  of  every  one  familiar  with  his  eventful  career,  being 
a  member  of  the  board  of  health  and  school  director.  The  doctor  began  the  prac- 
tice of  medicine  when  he  was  18  years  of  age.  For  a  long  time  he  was  employed 
by  the  Southern  Pacific  Railroad  Company  in  that  capacity.  The  couple  recently

He  was  born  in  Norwich,  Conn.,  and  when  four  years  of  age  moved  with  his 
parents  to  Jackson,  Mich.  Later  he  returned  east  and  for  some  time  was  in 
Wrentham  and  Sturbridge,  and  afterward  at  Kingston,  Mass.  At  each  of  these 
places  he  learned  something  of  the  business  methods  which,  in  a  few  years,  were 
to  prove  so  beneficial  to  him  in  his  business  career.  Finding  but  few  chances 
open  to  him  in  the  east,  he  decided  to  go  west  again.  For  a  few  years  he  was 
in  Madison,  Ind.,  later  at  Aurora,  111.,  finally  locating  in  Ottawa,  in  the  same  State, 
in  1856.  There  he  has  resided  for  nearly  half  a  century,  honored  and  respected 
by  the  entire  community.  He  has  been  in  the  manufacturing  business;  also  mer- 
chant tailor.  In  1889  he  visited  California,  and  with  his  family  traveled  over  the 
Continent  of  Europe,  sojourned  at  Rome,  Naples,  Alexandria  and  Cairo.  Took 
a  trip  up  the  Suez  Canal.  In  1892,  with  his  family,  he  took  a  trip  around  the 
world,  spending  some  time  in  the  Sandwich  Islands,  in  Japan,  Yokohama,  Canton, 
St.  Petersburg,  Spain,  and  other  countries.  He  has  never  held  public  office  but

d.  Feb.  28,  1886;  m.  2d,  May  10,  1894,  Katherine  Holmes  Tucker.  Louis  Samuel 
Fiske  was  son  of  Samuel  Lyon  Fiske  and  Maria  Louise  Hodges  Fiske.  Was  fitted 
for  Harvard  College,  but  deciding  that  he  would  not  pursue  a  professional  life, 
determined  upon  a  practical  textile  education  and  learned  woolen  manufacturing. 
A  desire  for  travel  and  adventure  led  him  to  associate  himself  with  the  wool 
trade  in  Philadelphia,  which  offered  opportunity  for  satisfying  these  inclinations. 
Developing  a  talent  for  the  business,  he  formed,  together  with  John  Dobson  and 
Frank  H.  Keen,  the  wool  house  of  Louis  S.  Fiske  &  Co.,  which  is  a  most  promi- 
nent, successful  and  progressive  firm.  Is  a  member  of  prominent  associations, 
including  Board  of  Trade,  Trades  League,  Union  League,  New  England  Society 
and  Radnor  Hunt.  A  lover  of  outdoor  sports  and  horses.  Republican  to  the 
backbone.  .  Never  had  but  one  ambition,  and  that  was  to  be  a  merchant  in  the 
highest  sense  of  the  word,  and  establish  an  honorable  reputation  and  name  the 
world  over,  and  he  has  succeeded;  res.  Philadelphia,  Pa;  office  add.  34  So   Front  St

Brownsville,  Jefiferson  County,  N.  Y,  He  was  the  second  son  in  a  list  of  eight 
brothers.  At  an  early  age  he  went  with  his  father,  Sylvanus  Fisk,  to  Genesee 
County,  N.  Y.  While  a  boy  he  learned  the  carpenter  and  joiner's  trade  but  did 
not  work  at  it  more  than  a  small  portion  of  his  early  manhood.  At  the  age  of 
19  he  settled  on  a  portion  of  what  was  known  as  the  Poultney  heirs'  tract  of  land 
in  the  town  of  Stafford;  married  at  21  and  lived  on  it  or  another  tract  adjoining 
which  he  came  in  possession  of  later,  all  his  remaining  days.  Early  he  made 
an  agreement — articled — for  his  holdings  at  $5  per  acre,  and  for  more  than 
twenty  years  he  labored  under  that  article,  paying  six  per  cent,  compound  interest. 
In  the  meantime  he  had  cleared  it  and  so  improved  it  that  it  would  readily  sell 
at  about  $100  per  acre;  besides  he  had  cared  well  for  his  family  and  indulged  his 
hospitality  and  generosity  largely.  He  refused  $100  per  acre  for  his  farm  by  telling 
the  man  who  offered  it,  "If  it  is  worth  that  to  you  it  is  to  me.  I  made  it  to  live  on 
and  die  on,"  and  he  did,  at  the  age  of  86  years.     He  d.  in  1888;  res.  Stafford,  N.  Y.

he  often  mentioned  the  fact  that  he  was  a  playfellow  of  P.  T.  Barnum,  probably 
at  New  Bethel,  where  there  is  a  comb  factory  still.  He  came  west  and  settled  in 
Manchester  Township,  Washtenaw  County,  in  Michigan,  probably  about  1830, 
and  engaged  in  farming.  He  had  a  large  family  of  children.  Although  a  me- 
chanic and  farmer,  was  a  man  of  extended  information,  due  to  extensive  reading; 
he  was  of  irreproachable  character,  and  although  without  means  was  highly  re- 
spected in  his  neighborhood.  He  d.  July  25,  1884;  res.  Manchester,  Mich.

2d,  Apr.  10,  1878,  Ellen  M.  Frink,  b, 
Apr.  12,  1850,  in  Urbana,  Ohio.  Solon 
Fisk  was  born  in  Albany,  Orleans  Coun- 
ty, Vt.  The  first  twenty  years  were 
spent  in  Vermont,  living  in  Albany, 
Brookfield,  'Bethel  (with  his  grand- 
father), Montpelier,  Berlin,  Royalton, 
Hancock  and  Castleton;  taught  school 
four  successive  winters,  beginning  with 
the  winter  of  1842-43.  At  the  close  of 
his  fourth  school,  in  the  spring  of  1846, 
he  went  to  Massachusetts,  learned  trade 
of  machinist,  working  in  Lowell,  Bos- 
ton, Annam  and  Charlestown,  mostly  on 
locomotive  engines.  In  1849  he  re- 
moved to  Concord,  N.  H.,  working  as 
machinist  for  Northern  Railroad  Com- 
pany. Li  1850  he  became  a  locomotive 
engineer,  and  as  such  helped  to  build  the 
Vermont  &  Canada  Railroad,  living  in 
Milton  and  St.  Albans,  on  the  line  of  that 
road.  In  1851  and  1852  he  lived  in  Bur- 
lington, Vt.,  engineer  of  all  passenger 
trains  between  Burlington  and  Essex 
Junction,  six  miles  out.  In  1853  he  was 
employed  on  new  locomotive  engines  by 
the  Amoskeag  Manufacturing  Com- 
pany, in  Manchester,  N.  H.  In  1854 
went  to  Zanesville.  Ohio,  and  was 
employed  there  for  four  years  in  various 
capacities  on  Central  Ohio  Railroad,  Co- 
lumbus to  Bellaire,  as  assistant  master  of  machinery  (at  Bellaire),  conductor,  en- 
gineer, and  finally  contractor,  to  furnish  this  Central  Ohio  Railroad  with  wood,  at 
that  time  used  exclusively  as  fuel  for  locomotives,  which  contract  he  held  for  two 
years  (and  more).  Then  quitting  railroading  forever,  as  he  thought,  he  read  law, and 
was  admitted  to  practice  at  Newark,  Ohio,  but  belonged  to  the  bar  of  Zanesville; 
followed  this  and  the  mining  of  coal,  in  which  he  was  interested,  through  the  war, 
but  having  a  hankering  for  running  a  locomotive  again,  took  a  position  offered 
him  in  1865  on  the  Chicago  &  Alton  Railroad,  living  for  two  years  in  Alton,  the 
rest  of  the  time  in  Bloomington.  He  continued  at  this  business  much  longer  than 
he  designed  to.  In  Nov.,  1876,  he  quit  it  and  has  since  then  lived  retired,  in 
Bloomington;  res.  Bloomington,  111.

than, Nathaniel,  William,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Symond),  b.  Penfield, 
N.  Y.,  Nov.  12,  1812;  m.  at  Austin,  Tex.,  Aug.  10,  1848,  Narcissa  L.  White;  d.  Mar. 
30,  1858;  m.  2d,  Oct.  10,  i860,  Vashti  Harkness,  b.  Mar.  4,  1821.  He  was  born  in 
Penfield,  N.  Y.,  and  worked  on  the  farm  until  his  father's  death  in  1826.  After  do- 
ing various  kinds  of  farm  work  and  attending  the  district  school,  he  went  to 
Massachusetts  to  live  with  his  father's  brother.  He  attended  the  Cummington 
Academy,  and  later  taught  school  in  Yates,  N.  Y.  One  of  his  brothers  was 
attending  Hanover  College  in  Indiana,  and  desiring  a  better  education  availed 
himself  of  an  invitation  to  go  there  to  school.  At  the  commencement  exercises 
he  was  chosen  one  of  the  speakers.  After  graduation  he  taught  school  in  Galla- 
tin Co.,  Ky.,  for  a  year  and  also  began  the  study  of  law.  Going  to  Jacksonville, 
111.,  he  studied  law  with  Hon.  Stephen  A.  Douglas,  and  was  later  admitted  to 
the  bar  and  to  practice  in  all  the  courts  of  the  State.  He  opened  an  office  in  Hills- 
boro  in  1835  and  was  at  once  elected  Justice  of  the  Peace,  and  in  1838  he  was 
elected  Representative  to  the  Legislature,  serving  in  the  last  session  ever  held  in 
the  old  State  House  in  Vandalia  and  the  first  in  the  new  State  House  in  Springfield, 
the  present  capital.  Usher  F.  Linder,  the  Attorney-General  of  Illinois,  was 
indicted  for  assault  with  intent  to  commit  murder  and  suspended  from  ofifice,  and 
he  acted  as  Attorney-General  until  Linder  was  tried  and  acquitted  and  resumed 
the  office.  In  the  fall  of  1845  he  removed  to  Texas.  In  1846  he  enlisted  and  served 
as  Corporal  in  the  war  against  Mexico.  At  the  close  of  the  war  he  engaged  in  the 
practice  of  law  and  in  locating  and  buying  and  selling  land.  He  owned  2,000  acres 
of  land  in  Austin,  Tex.  When  the  Civil  War  broke  out  he  was  opposed  to  seces- 
sion, and  was  obliged  to  flee  to  save  his  life.  His  property,  which  was  quite  val- 
uable, was  confiscated,  and  his  adventures  which  he  experienced  while  escaping 
to  the  south  were  very  thrilling.  On  arriving  in  New  Orleans  he  began  the  prac- 
tice of  law  and  acted  as  District  Attorney  of  Jefferson  Parish. 

He  has  always  believed  in  the  Methodist  Church  since  he  can  remember.  He 
was  licensed  as  an  exorter,  then  as  a  local  preacher  and  next  admitted  into  the 
Louisiana  Conference  with  an  understanding  that  his  appointment  should  be  only 
nominal,  and  that  he  should  be  allowed  to  continue  the  practice  of  law  and  preach 
wherever  called  upon  without  any  expense  to  the  church.  When  the  Constitu- 
tional Convention  met  and  elected  their  officers  the  question  came  up  for  electing 
a  chaplain.  Several  of  the  most  eminent  preachers  of  the  United  States  were  in 
the  city.  The  members  were  divided  in  their  choice.  Mr.  Wicklifif,  a  delegate, 
arose  and  moved  that  Mr.  Fisk  be  elected  chaplain,  for  he  could  make  the  best 
prayer  of  any  preacher  in  the  city.  One  delegate  arose  and  said:  "Mr.  President, 
the  gentleman  has  made  a  very  bold  assertion.  I  would  like  for  him  to  prove  it." 
Mr.  Wickliff  arose  and  stated  "Mr.  Fisk  can  make  the  shortest  prayer  of  any 
of  the  preachers  here."  That  settled  the  question,  and  he  was  unanimously 
elected.  He  had  not  named  the  office  to  any  person.  He  continued  to  practice 
law  during  the  week  and  to  preach  Sundays  until  1881,  when  he  removed  to  Coun- 
cil Bluffs,  la. 

A  Chicago  paper  recently  published  this: 

"Council  Bluffs,  la.,  March  5,  1896. — ^Josiah  Fisk  today  received  notification 
that  his  claim  against  the  city  of  New  Orleans  had  been  settled,  and  he  will  receive 
about  $4,000. 

"Fisk  was  a  law  student  in  the  ofifice  of  Abraham  Lincoln.  President  Grant 
appointed  him  District  Attorney  for  one  of  the  branches  of  the  city  of  New  Or- 
leans in  1868,  and  he  served  through  the  trying  days  of  reconstruction.  He  was 
in  office  ten  years.  The  Ku-Klux-Klan  was  active  in  that  locality,  and  Fisk  was 
equally  active  in  running  it  down.  He  was  finally  advised  to  leave  town,  but 
declined. 

"Soon  after  a  man  who  resembled  Fisk  in  appearance  was  killed  by  the  Ku- 
klux,  and  Fisk  had  to  leave.     He  subsequently  sued  the  city  for  his  salary.     Every

effort  was  made  to  evade  payment.     Fisk  got  judgment  for  $9,500,  and  finally  set- 
tled for  $4,000."

N.  Y.,  May  19,  1807;  m.  at  Bastrop,  Tex.,  Mary  A.  Manlove,  dau.  of  Col.  Manlove; 
m.  2d,  at  Bastrop,  Mrs.  Mary  (Piper)  Hawkins,  b.  Feb.  25,  1833.  Judge  Greenleaf 
Fisk  was  born  in  New  York  State.  At  the  age  of  20  he  professed  Christ  and  united 
with  the  Presbyterian  Church,  and  began  to  study  for  the  ministry.  He  pursued 
his  studies  so  far  as  to  take  one  year  in  Lanes  Theological  Seminary,  at  Cincin- 
nati. Leaving  there,  he  studied  a  short  time  at  Hanover  College,  Ind.  After  a 
time  he  and  a  companion  embarked  in  a  skiff  on  the  Ohio  River,  and  started  for 
the  west.  He  came  to  Texas  while  it  was  under  Mexican  rule.  He  married  at 
Bastrop,  Mary  A.,  daughter  of  Col.  Manlove.  When  the  war  of  Texas  Independ- 
ence broke  out,  he  enlisted  and  served  through  the  entire  war.  He  was  present 
at  the  battle  of  San  Jacinto,  Apr.  21,  1836.  Returning  to  his  home,  he  found  that 
his  wife  had  been  compelled  by  the  Mexicans  to  seek  safety  in  eastern  Texas.  He 
at  length  found  her,  having  a  child  nearly  a  year  old,  which  he  had  never  seen. 
He  was  a  member  of  Congress  under  the  Republic  of  Texas.  He  afterwards 
moved  to  Williamson  county,  where  his  wife  died,  and  he  married  Mrs.  Mary  Haw- 
kins. From  1838  and  onward,  he  made  several  trips  to  Brown  county,  in  the 
capacity  of  surveyor,  on  one  of  which  trips  he  was  captured  by  the  Indians,  but 
afterwards  released.  He  located  most  of  the  land  since  owned  by  him,  in  Brown 
county.  In  i860  he  moved  to  Brown  county,  and  camped  on  the  site  of  his 
rock  residence  in  town.  When  the  county  was  organized,  in  1861,  he  was  elected 
County  Judge,  and  subsequently  filled  the  ofifice  of  District  Clerk;  County  Clerk, 
County  Treasurer,  and  Justice  of  the  Peace.  Since  that  time  he  has  been  closely 
identified  with  all  the  interests  of  Brown  county.  In  Dec,  1886,  he  united  with  the 
Presbyterian  Church.  By  failing  strength,  he  was  compelled  to  take  his  bed, 
and  after  five  months  of  confinement,  he  passed  peacefully  away.  The  funeral 
services  were  conducted  at  the  Presbyterian  Church.  In  accordance  with  procla- 
mation of  the  Mayor,  all  business  houses  in  town  were  closed,  and  the  church 
was  packed  to  its  uttermost  capacity.  Seldom  has  been  expressed  such  a  general 
sense  of  bereavement  as  well  as  sympathy  for  the  afflicted  family.  The  deceased 
had  seven  children  by  his  first  wife,  two  of  whom  still  live.  He  had  eight  chil- 
dren by  his  second  wife,  all  of  whom  live.  He  lived  to  see  three  great-grandchil- 
dren. Thus  has  passed  away  another  of  the  old  land  marks.  He  d.  Jan.  26,  1888;

he  has  disobeyed  a  "call"  in  not  going  into  the  ministry.  His  life  was  uneventful 
and  hard.  He  was  a  stern  Calvinistic  Methodist,  more  religious  than  practical, 
always  in  poverty  and  debt,  and  brought  up  his  family  with  too  rigid  strictness.

Esther  Ann  (Turner)  Hall,  s.  p.  Ralph  Fiske  spent  all  his  life  after  coming  to 
manhood,  in  the  village  of  Whitefield,  and  all  the  active  part  of  it  in  trade.  For 
many  years  he  kept  the  only  store  in  the  place,  and  when  railroads  and  the  lum- 
ber business  stimulated  its  growth,  he  continued  for  some  time  to  be  one  of  its 
leading  men  of  business,  and  accumulated  considerable  property.  He  often  acted 
as  executor,  administrator  or  trustee,  and  was  prominent  in  the  public  affairs  of  the 
town,  serving  it  several  times  in  local  office  and  the  State  Legislature.  Generally 
known  as  the  "Squire,"  he  was  held  in  high  esteem  for  his  practical  capacity  and 
unswerving  integrity.  He  was  prominently  connected  with  the  Methodist  Church. 
The  last  ten  or  fifteen  years  of  his  life  were  spent  in  quiet  leisure.  Mr.  Fiske  ever 
took  a  lively  interest  in  the  progress  of  the  town,  and  had  the  confidence  of  his 
fellow  citizens  to  a  marked  degree,  so  in  the  conduct  of  public  affairs  his  judg- 
ment always,  and  his  services  often,  were  sought  and  obtained  when  the  political 
party  with  which  he  was  conscientiously  allied  was  in  the  majority,  and  from 
1836,  the  date  of  the  first  election  to  public  service,  for  twenty-five  years  no  name 
appears  oftener  in  the  civil  list  of  the  town  than  Ralph  Fiske.  He  was  of  very 
positive  nature;  had  his  own  ideas  of  right  and  justice,  and  never  swerved  from 
his  own  conceptions  of  duty.  For  fifty  years  he  was  an  earnest,  consistent  mem- 
ber of  the  Methodist  Church,  and  to  his  interest  and  encouragement  does  that 
society  in  Whitefield  largely  owe  its  present  prosperity.  His  faith  was  not  of 
that  stern,  unrelenting  kind  which  we  might  expect,  knowing  that  his  early  re- 
ligious training  was  from  a  venerated  mother,  whose  Calvinism  was  of  the  unmiti- 
gated sort.     He  d.  Dec.  26,  1893;  res.  Whitefield,  N.  H.

resided  in  Grafton  county,  N.  H.,  first  in  the  town  of  Bath,  then  at  Lisbon,  and 
finally  at  Lyme,  where  he  died.  Generally  he  lived  on  a  farm,  but  in  his  earlier 
years  he  had  worked  at  the  trade  of  mason  and  bricklayer,  and  often  took  jobs 
of  that  kind  in  later  life.  He  was  married  seven  times  and  succeeded  in  leaving 
a  widow,  who  is  still  living  at  Lyme.  Like  all  others  of  that  generation,  he  was 
held  in  high  respect  by  all  who  knew  him,  and  was  of  a  rather  more  genial  dis-

life  in  the  village  of  Lancaster,  and  for  many  years  kept  a  hotel  there  known  as 
the  American  House.  It  was  a  strictly  temperance  tavern,  and  at  one  time  the 
leading  hostelry  of  the  place,  and  a  resort  of  White  Mountain  travel  in  its  earlier 
and  simpler  days.  Selling  the  hotel  property  he  engaged  in  the  business  of  putting 
in  drainage  and  water  works  in  the  growing  village,  partly  by  contract  for  the 
town  and  partly  as  a  private  undertaking.  He  was  still  engaged  in  this  enterprise

early  manhood  there,  but  he  was  taken  with  the  early  California  "gold  fever,"  and 
after  some  hesitation  he  sold  out  his  business  in  Maine  and  emigrated  to  the 
Pacific  coast  about  1850  or  soon  after.  He  and  his  brother  Royal  freighted  a  vessel 
with  sawed  lumber  and  sent  it  '"round  the  Horn,"  and  when  it  got  to  San  Francisco 
the  cargo  was  worth  less  in  the  market  there  than  it  cost  on  the  New  England 
coast.  He  had  less  predilection  for  city  life  than  his  brother  Royal  and  went  into 
the  mountains  and  mining  regions.  He  finally  seems  to  have  become  permanent  at 
Murphy's  Ranche,  now  known  as  "Murphy's,"  where  he  was  still  living  at  last  ac- 
counts. Res.  Murphy's,  Cal.

the  war  of  1812  the  family  returned  to  Chesterfield.  Here  his  boyhood  was  spent. 
His  educational  advantages  were  limited  to  the  district  schools  of  that  day  with  a 
term  or  two  at  the  Chesterfield  Academy.  When  about  20  years  of  age  he  ac- 
companied the  family  in  its  removal  to  Skip-Muck,  now  Chicopee  Falls,  Mass. 
Here  he  found  employment.  He  removed  to  Constantia,  now  West  Monroe, 
Oneida  Co.,  N.  Y.  After  a  residence  of  two  years  and  a  half  here  he  returned  to 
Massachusetts  and  again  located  at  Chicopee  Falls,  being  employed  in  the  mills 
at  that  place.  From  this  time  (1835)  until  1849  he  was  employed  in  the  cotton 
mills  a  greater  part  of  the  time.  In  the  spring  of  1849  on  account  of  ill  health 
he  removed  to  Granby,  Mass.,  and  began  farming,  which  occupation  he  followed 
as  long  as  his  physical  powers  permitted.  He  suffered  from  deafness  for  many 
years,  which  increased  with  age.  In  June,  1886,  his  wife  died,  and  during  the  re- 
mainder of  his  life  he  made  his  home  with  his  youngest  son  (A.  W.  Fiske).  His 
death  was  due  to  old  age.     He  d.  Oct.  12,  1895;  res.  Granby,  Mass.

Fisk,  viz.s  born  in  Holliston,  Mass.,  Feb.  26,  1807.  At  an  early  age  he  left  the 
paternal  farm,  deciding,  as  he  used  to  say,  that  "if  the  earth  would  let  him  alone 
he  would  never  scratch  her  face  any  more."  He  went  to  Boston,  and  after  many 
discouragements,  found  employment  in  the  retail  grocery  business.  He  gradually 
rose  until  he  became  proprietor  of  the  business,  but  at  about  the  age  of  35  he  lost 
the  sight  of  one  eye,  after  an  unsuccessful  operation  for  cataract.  The  sight  of  the 
other  gradually  failing  he  was  obliged  to  retire  from  business.  In  1857  he  removed 
to  Charlestown,  Mass.,  where  he  spent  the  remainder  of  his  days.  He  married  for 
his  first  wife,  Mercy  C.  Cooper.  Of  this  union  no  descendants  survive.  He  mar- 
ried second,  Anna.  Amy  Aldrich,  youngest  daughter  of  Lyman  and  Anna  (Bennett) 
Aldrich,  of  Northbridge,  Mass.  Of  the  five  children  by  this  marriage,  all  but  two 
died  young.  The  survivors  are  Lyman  Beecher  Fisk,  of  Cambridge,  Mass.,  and 
Emma  Augusta  (Fisk)  Green,  of  Westmoreland,  N.  H.  Though  a  great  sufferer 
from  his  eyes  for  more  than  half  of  his  life,  he  bore  it  all  with  heroic  fortitude  until 
he  passed  away,  beloved  by  his  family  and  relatives,  honored  and  respected  by  all 
who  knew  him.     He  d.  Nov.  29,  1891 ;  res.  Boston  and  Charlestown,  Mass.

At  the  age  of  six  years  he  removed  with  his  parents  to  Charles- 
town, Mass.,  where  he  completed  the  course  of  study  in  the 
primary,  grammar  and  high  schools,  and  in  the  last  named 
was  prepared  for  college.  He  entered  Harvard  College  in 
1869,  and  was  graduated  in  1873,  with  the  degree  A.  B.  cum 
laude.  With  the  intention  of  finally  entering  the  medical 
profession,  he  gave  a  few  years  to  teaching,  but  while  hold- 
ing the  position  of  principal  of  the  high  school  at  Keene,  N. 
H.,  in  1876,  his  health  failed  so  completely  that  he  was 
obliged  to  resign,  and  for  a  number  of  years  was  unfitted  to 
engage  in  active  business  of  any  kind.  In  1882  he  received 
from  the  corporation  of  Harvard  University,  an  appointment

ton, Mass.,  d.  Sept.  17,  1893.  Their  golden  wedding  was  celebrated  in  Wilbraham, 
in  June,  1889.  Rev.  Franklin  Fisk,  son  of  ]\Ioses  Fisk  and  Sibella  Jennison,  was 
born  in  Framingham,  Mass.  He  is  next  to  the  youngest  of  eight  children,  six 
brothers  and  two  sisters,  all  of  whom  lived  to  be  more  than  64  years  old.  He  was 
educated  in  the  public  schools  of  Natick,  Mass.,  and  at  the  Wesleyan  Academy, 
Wilbraham,  Mass.,  which  he  attended  in  1832-3-4.  During  the  years  1832-6 
he  taught  several  terms  of  school  in  various  parts  of  Massachusetts,  with  great 
success.  In  1836  he  joined  the  New  England  Conference  of  the  Methodist  Episco- 
pal Church,  taking  appointments  in  almost  all  parts  of  Massachusetts,  and  some 
in  Connecticut,  continuing  in  the  active  ministry  for  more  than  thirty  years.  He 
married  Chloe  Catharine  Stone,  who  was  a  student  with  him  at  Wilbraham.  To 
them  were  born  eight  children,  four  sons  and  four  daughters,  five  of  whom  are 
still  living.  In  1867  he  suffered  a  stroke  of  paralysis,  which  compelled  him  to 
leave  the  active  work  of  the  ministry.  He  settled  at  Wilbraham  and  became  one 
of  the  well  known  residents.  His  beloved  wife  was  taken  from  him  by  heart 
failure  in  1893,  after  a  happy  imion  of  fifty-four  years.  He  has  since  resided  with

Ave.,  Denver,  Colo.;  physician;  was  named  after  his  paternal 
uncle,  Dr.  Samuel  Augustus  Fisk,  of  Northampton,  Mass.  In 
1857  his  p  a  r  e  n  t  s 
moved  to  St.  Paul, 
Minn.,  where  theyi 
lived  until  the  fall  of| 
1863,  returning  at 
that  time  to  live' 
again  in  Cambridge,' 
Mass.  In  November,' 
1867,  his  parents  hav-| 
ing  both  died,  he 
went  with  his  sister 
to  live  with  his  uncle,' 
Dr.  Samuel  Augustus 
Fisk,  in  Northamp-! 
ton,  Mass.  This  uncle^ 
legally  adopted  his 
sister,  and  was  his; 
guardian.  He  was  fit-} 
ted  for  college  at  the 
Round  Hill  School,' 
in  Northam  pton,' 
and,  later  on,  under, 
the  Rev.  J  o  s  i  a  h 
Clark,  LL.  D.,  hej 
was  prepared  to  enterj 
college  in  1872,  but  it 
was  deemed  best,  on 
account  of  his  youth, 
to  keep  him  out  for 
another  year,  and  in 
1873  he  went  to  Yale, 
and  was  graduated  in  1877,  receiving  the  degree  of  A.  B.  In 
the  fall  of  1877  he  went  to  Harvard  Medical  School,  and  was 
graduated,  receiving  the  degree  of  M.  D.  in  1880.  He  re- 
ceived, in  the  spring  of  1880,  an  appointment,  as  house  officer, 
to  the  Massachusetts  General  Hospital,  in  Boston,  but  was 
obliged  to  forego  his  appointment  in  consequence  of  having 
contracted  an  acute  pulmonary  tuberculosis,  which  sent  him 
to  Colorado  in  the  fall  of  that  year.  From  that  time  until 
the  spring  of  1883,  he  knocked  about  Colorado  in  search  of 
health,  living  a  part  of  the  time  at  Poncha  Springs,  on  the

ner. In  May,  1883,  he  located  in  Denver,  and  was  stricken 
down  in  the  fall  of  the  same  year  with  a  severe  attack  of 
rheumatic  fever,  accompanied  with  diabetes  insipidus,  from 
the  effects  of  which  latter  trouble  he  has  since  suffered  con- 
tinuously. In  the  spring  of  1884  he  was  elected  to  a  chair 
in  the  medical  department  of  the  University  of  Denver,  and 
has  occupied  in  succession  the  chairs  of  anatomy,  nervous  dis- 
eases, and  the  practice  of  medicine,  in  that  imiversity,  which 
latter  chair,  as  professor  of  the  practice  of  medicine,  he  still 
holds.  In  1884  he  was  made  secretary  of  the  faculty,  and 
held  that  position  until  the  spring  of  1895,  when  they  elected 
him  dean.  In  June,  1884,  his  alma  mater,  Yale,  gave  him  the 
degree  of  Master  of  Arts.  In  June,  1887,  he  joined  the 
American  Climatological  Association:  in  1888  he  was  elected 
president  of  the  Colorado  State  Medical  Society;  in  1890  he

4145.     REV.    OLIVER   J.    FISKE    (Isaac,    Moses,    Isaac,    John,    Nathaniel^ 
Nathan,  Nathaniel,  William.  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Symond),  b.   Nash- 
ville, Tenn.,  Jan.  24,  1809;  m.  Cumberland,  R.  I.,  May  26,  1839,  Louisa  Brown,  of 
Lime  Rock,  b.  Cumberland.  R.  I.,  Mar.  11,  1816.      Oliver  Johnson  Fiske  was  born 
in  the  city   of   Nashville,   Tenn.,   on   the  24th   day   of  January,    1809,   and   died   in 
Crawfordsville,  Ind.,  Jan.  8,  1886.     He  was  the  son  of  Isaac  and  Elizabeth   (John- 
son) Fiske,  both  of  whom  were  from  New  England.    Soon  after  the  birth  of  Oliver 
they  returned  to  Massachusetts  and  lived  upon  a  farm  in  the  town  of  Framingham 
in  that  State.     The  subject  of  our  sketch   was  the  second  of  five  brothers.     The 
common  school  education  which  he  received  in  that  village  only  gave  him  a  keener 
appetite  for  acquiring  a  more  extensive  knowledge.     To  go  away  to  attend  school 
was  out  of  the  question,  as  his  parents  were  poor.     He  determined,  however,  to 
overcome  all  obstacles  and  not  allow  the  prize  which  he  so  much  desired  to  slip  away, 
from  him.     Acting  under  the  advice  of  some  friend  he  arranged  a  course  of  study. 
Every  moment  when  not  at  work  on  the  farm  he  was  mastering  Latin  and  Greek. 
While  his  companions  were  at  play  he  was  at  study,  and  oftentimes  sitting  up  until 
after  midnight  pursuing  the  course  he  had  marked  out.      During  this  time  there 
was  a  revival  of  religion  at  the  Baptist  Church  at  Framingham.     He  attended  the 
meetings  and  was  converted.     Soon  after  he  became  impressed  with  the  desire  to 
preach  the  gospel.    At  last  a  way  was  opened  for  him  to  attend  school  at  South  Read- 
ing, Mass.,  after  which  he  went  to  the  theological  school  at  Newton,  remaining  there 
one  year.    He  made  up  his  mind  that  he  would  obtain  a  full  collegiate  education 
and  entered  Brown  University  in  the  junior  class  and  graduated  in  the  class  of 
1837.     In  1838  he  was  duly  ordained  at  the  Baptist  Church  at  Lime  Rock,  Smith- 
field,  R.   I.,  and  became  pastor  of  that  church.     His  labors  here  were  successful; 
many  were  added  to  the  church  and  the  older  members  were  revived,  and  when  he 
resigned  his  pastorate  the  church   was  in  a   strong,   healthy  condition.        fie   ac- 
cepted a  position   as   principal   of  a   young   ladies'   seminary   at    Stewart's   Creek, 
County   of   Rutherford,   Tenn.      In    1839,   before   leaving   Lime   Rock,    he   married 
Miss  Maria  Louisa  Brown,  of  Cumberland,  R.  I.     She  was  a  great  help  to  him  in 
his  work  as  a  teacher.     Here  he  remained  for  about  two  years,  and  owing  to  the 
unhealthfulness  of  the  place  where  the  seminary  was   situated  he  was  obliged   to 
give  up  his  school,  and  he  accepted  a  situation  to  become  principal  of  a  boys'  school 
in  Robertson  County,  Tenn.     So  successful  was  he  here  as  a  teacher  that  he  had 
many   flattering  inducements  to   go   elsewhere  to   teach   in   different   parts   of  the 
south.      He  accepted   an   offer  to   become  principal   of  an   academy   at   Nashville, 
Tenn.     Here  he  prepared  young  men  for  college.     He  received  many  letters  irom 
the  members  of  faculties  and  presidents   of  colleges   complimenting  him   on   the 
thorough  manner  in  which  his  students  were  prepared  to  enter  on  their  college 
course.     In   1850  he  was  called  to  the  presidency  of  Enon   College,   at   Galhtin, 
Tenn.,  which  position  he  accepted.     Being  connected  with  this  institution  brought 
him  in  touch  with  the  denomination  he  so  much  loved.     Almost  every  Sabbath  he 
preached,   sometimes  going  several   hundred  miles  to  preach   at  associations  and 
large  churches.     Many  of  his  sermons  were  printed  in  the  Tennessee  Baptist  and 
other  religious  papers.     In   1855,  on  account  of  his  wife's  health  and  desirous  of 
bringing  up  his  family  in  a  free  State,  he  removed  to  Bloomington,  111.,  where  for 
twenty  years  he  was  engaged  in  pastoral  work  and  holding  evangelistic  meetings.

He  did  not  keep  a  record  of  the  number  of  persons  converted  under  his  preaching, 
but  it  would  amount  to  hundreds.  When  completely  worn  out  by  hard  work  and 
failing  health  he  went  to  live  with  his  son  Charles  H.  Fiske,  at  Crawfordsville, 
Ind.  His  last  illness  was  a  brief  one,  but  it  found  him  cheerful  and  bright  and  in 
a  hope  full  of  immortality.  It  was  the  peaceful  end  of  a  man  whose  whole  life  had 
been  one  of  self-sacrificing  devotion  to  the  promotion  of  the  interests  of  education 
and  religion.  Mr.  Fiske  had  three  children,  Edwin  B.  Fiske,  of  Rochester,  N.  Y.. 
lawyer;  Oliver  Edgar  Fiske,  who  died  of  typhoid  fever  when  17  years  of  age,  and 
Charles  H.  Fiske,  who  resides  now  in  the  city  of  Indianapolis,  Ind.  His  wife  is 
still  living,  though  in  feeble  health.  He  d.  Jan.  8,  1886;  res.  Nashville,  Tenn.,  and

maker.  At  the  age  of  21  he  went  to  Waltham  and  engaged  in  business,  when  he 
was  appointed  deputy  sherifif  under  Sheriff  Hildreth,  serving  under  both  sheriffs. 
Keys  and  Kimball,  and  at  the  death  of  the  latter,  being  senior  deputy,  he  became 
acting  sherifif.  At  the  end  of  the  year  he  was  elected  sheriff  for  three  years,  and  his 
term  would  have  expired  the  first  of  Jan.,  1884.  At  the  time  of  his  succession  to 
the  office  of  high  sherifif  he  had  served  as  deputy  thirty  consecutive  years.  Mr. 
Fiske  was  always  popular,  running  ahead  of  his  ticket  at  elections.  The  members 
of  the  bar  recognized  in  him  a  man  who  was  eminently  qualified  for  his  office.  He 
was  often  chosen  moderator  of  the  town  meetings  in  Waltham,  for  a  long  time 
acted  as  coroner,  had  been  justice  of  the  peace,  deputy  collector  of  internal  revenue, 
and  assistant  internal  revenue  assessor.  He  was  a  member  of  the  board  of  water 
commissioners  for  Waltham  one  term  of  three  years  and  declined  re-election.  He 
was  an  active  Republican,  always  taking  a  lively  interest  in  elections,  and  was

mal,  b.  Feb.  3,  1848.  Charles  H.  Fisk  was  born  Aug.  31,  1843,  at  Fiskburg,  Ken- 
ton County,  Ky. ;  moved  to  Covington,  Ky.,  in  Oct.,  1848;  son  of  Hon.  John  F. 
and  Elizabeth  S.  Fisk.  His  father  was  Lieutenant-Governor  of  Kentucky,  and  a 
strong  union  man  during  the  War  of  the  Rebellion.  Chas.  H.  attended  the  public 
schools  and  graduated  from  the  high  school  in  1858,  but  pursued  his  studies  there- 
after in  that  school  in  special  classes;  entered  Miami  University  in  Feb.,  i860; 
graduated  1863.  While  in  the  university  he  was  very  popular  with  the  great  ma- 
jority of  the  students,  faculty  and  residents  of  Oxford.  He  became  a  member  of 
Kappa  Chapter  of  D.  K.  E.  shortly  after  he  entered  college  and  was  an  ardent  and 
devoted  member  of  that  fraternity.  He  was  for  a  time  the  presiding  officer  in  that 
chapter.  He  entered  Miami  Union  Literary  Society  during  his  freshman  year  and 
became  thoroughly  identified  with  all  the  interests  of  that  body.  He  was  ambi- 
tious and  successful  in  all  of  his  efforts,  and  received  at  the  hands  of  his  fellow 
students  and  of  the  faculty  more  honors  than  were  ever  allotted  to  any  other  stu- 
dent at  the  university.  He  was  chosen  junior  orator  by  his  class;  represented  his 
college  on  celebration  of  Washington's  birthday;  was  elected  president  of  the 
Miami  Union  Literary  Society  in  the  last  half  of  the  junior  year;  chosen  to  deliver 
the  address  at  the  winter  exhibition  of  Miami  Union  Literary  Society  in  the  first 
half  of  his  senior  year;  was  given  the  first  honor  in  his  class  and  delivered  the 
valedictory  on  July  2,  1863.  He  was  noted  as  the  best  foot  ball  "kicker  ever  in  the 
university.  He  was  much  inclined  to  mischief  and  in  consequence  was  often  in 
consultation  with  the  faculty  at  the  Friday  afternoon  meetings.     After  his  gradua-

tion  at  Miami,  Mr.  Fisk  entered  the  law  office  of  his  father  and  began  seriously  the 
study  of  the  law.  The  father's  partner  died  about  six  weeks  later  and  Mr.  Fisk 
began  at  once  to  assist  his  father  in  all  matters.  He  attended  the  Cincinnati  Law 
School  and  graduated  therefrom  with  credit  in  the  spring  of  1864.  He  received 
his  law  license  a  few  months  before  reaching  his  majority,  but  could  not  enter  upon 
active  practice  until  the  fall  of  1864.  He  practiced  with  his  father  till  Feb.,  1865, 
when  he  formed  a  partnership  with  Hon.  John  M.  Scott  and  went  to  Lexington, 
Ky.,  to  practice  before  the  military  courts  and  commissions.  He  was  there  during 
the  remainder  of  1865.  in  which  brief  period  he  defended  thirty-three  persons 
accused  of  murder  with  success  and  ability.  In  1866  he  returned  to  Covington  and 
resumed  the  practice  there  with  his  father  with  whom  he  formed  a  partnership  on 
Jan.  I,  1868,  and  the  firm  of  John  F.  &  Chas.  H.  Fisk  has  since  continued.  The 
senior,  however,  retired  from  active  business  in  the  spring  of  1890.  Mr.  Fisk  is 
an  avowed  Republican,  but  has  not  taken  to  political  life  as  a  business.  He  has 
devoted  himself  with  untiring  energy  to  the  profession  of  his  choice,  and  has  been 
eminently  successful.  His  clients  have  ever  been  among  the  best  citizens  and  cor- 
porations in  his  vicinity.  While  in  Lexington  he  became  acquainted  with  the 
woman  of  his  choice,  and  on  Oct.  2;^,  1866,  he  was  united  in  marriage  to  Miss  Mag- 
gie Emmal,  of  that  city.  Three  children  have  blessed  this  union,  but  the  eldest 
child,  a  bright  boy,  was  caUed  hence  in  Jan.,  1881,  at  the  age  of  13  years  and  4 
months.  The  second  son.  Otis  H..  graduated  with  honor  from  Yale  University  in 
1892,  and  has  been  in  Germany  pursuing  his  studies  since  that  time.  He  will 
remain  there  for  a  four  years'  course.  The  third  child  is  Miss  Elizabeth  S.,  her 
grandmother's  namesake,  now  (1894)  in  her  loth  year.  The  subject  of  this  sketch 
has  been  highly  honored  by  the  Masonic  fraternity  with  which  he  has  been  inti- 
mately identified  since  1877.  He  has  been  Grand  Master  of  the  Grand  Lodge, 
Grand  T.  L  Master  of  the  Grand  Council,  Grand  High  Priest  of  the  Grand  Chapter 
and  Grand  Commander  of  the  Grand  Commandery  of  Kentucky.  He  is  a  member 
of  the  Christian  Church  and  prominent  in  all  matters  connected  therewith.  For 
about  twenty-four  years  he  has  been  superintendent  of  the  Sunday  school.  In 
1884  Mr.  Fisk  delivered  a  Masonic  address  on  St.  John's  day  in  the  college  campus, 
by  invitation  of  the  Masons  of  Oxford  and  vicinity.  In  1890  he  delivered  the  ad- 
dress to  the  alumni  of  Miami.  He  has  filled  two  terms  as  president  of  the  Miami 
University  Association;  res.  1017  Russell  Ave.,  Covington,  Ky. 

5753.  i.         EMMAL,  b.  Sept.  3,   1867;  d.  Jan.   14,   1881.     Emmal   Fisk,  the 

elder  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Chas.  H.  Fisk,  was  a  bright  boy 
and  perhaps  the  best  known  and  most  popular  boy  of  his  age 
ever  in  that  city.  He  was  unusually  strong  and  active  for  his 
years,  but  was  called  away  from  his  family  and  friends  by  that 
terrible  disease  peritonitis  at  the  age  of  13  years  and  4  months. 
The  esteem  in  which  he  was  held  was  shown  by  the  fact  that 
his  funeral  was  attended  by  the  largest  number  of  people  ever 
present  at  the  funeral  of  any  young  person  in  the  city. 

5754.  ii.        OTIS   HARRISON,  b.    Mar.  5,    1870.     He  attended  the  public 

schools  in  Covington  for  some  years,  then  spent  two  years  in 
the  school  of  Prof.  Babbin  in  Cincinnati,  and  thereafter  was 
with  Professor  Wyckoft'  at  Walnut  Hills,  where  he  was  pre- 
pared for  Yale  College,  in  which  he  entered  the  freshman  class 
in  1888.  At  the  end  of  that  year  he  accompanied  his  father 
on  an  extended  trip  to  the  old  country,  and  visited  points  of 
interest  in  England,  Scotland,  France  and  Germany,  and  very 
thoroughly  explored  Belgium,  Italy  and  Ireland.  He  gradu- 
'  ated  with  "honor"  in  the  class  of. 1892  at  Yale.     In  the  fall  of 

that  year  he  went  to  Germany  for  the  purpose  of  studying  law 
in  the  universities  there  and  of  becoming  proficient  in  the 
German  language,  of  which  he  had  at  all  times  been  a  student. 
He  entered  at  Leipsic  where  he  spent  one  year.  The  next 
semester  was  passed  at  Berlin.  He  then  went  to  Heidelberg, 
where  he  expected  to  remain  one  year.  While  there,  however, 
he  conceived  the  idea  of  surprising  his  parents  by  taking,  as 
he  says,  a  degree  for  his  father.  He  remained  six  months 
longer  than  he  intended,  and  on  Aug.  2.  1895,  received  at  the 
hands  of  the  celebrated  university  at  Heidelberg  the  degree  of

"Doctor  of  Philosophy,"  "magnum  cum  laude."  The  essay 
submitted  by  him  prior  to  his  oral  examination  met  with 
great  favor,  and  two  of  the  professors,  Jellineck  and  Meyer, 
perhaps  the  most  celebrated  in  their  departments  in  Europe, 
who  are  issuing  a  series  of  Philosophical  Works  as  part  of  the 
Heidelberg  University  Library  series,  have  asked  permission, 
which,  of  course,  was  granted,  to  publish  the  essay  of  Dr.  Fisk 
as  a  portion  of  the  first  volume  of  said  series.  The  laurel 
wreath  with  which  he  was  crowned,  and  the  "Dr's  hat"  from 
his  "cake,"  he  sent  to  his  sister,  by  his  father,  who  visited  him 
last  summer  for  the  second  time.  He  has  returned  to  Leipsic, 
where  he  expects  to  receive  the  degree  of  Dr.  de  jura  in  1896. 
He  has  traveled  extensively  on  the  continent  during  his  vaca- 
tions. He  speaks  and  writes  the  German  like  a  native.  He 
propo.'^es  to  practice  law  upon  his  return  to  his  native  land, 
but  has  not  yet  determined  upon  his  location.  He  has  just  re- 
turned (1896)  to  Heide'berg  for  further  degree.

4251.  JUDGE  ROBERT  BROWN  FISK  (John  F.,  David,  Ebene^er,  Eben- 
ezer,  Ebenezer.  David,  David,  David,  Jeffrey,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William, 
Symond),  b.  Covington,  Ky.,  Mar.  2,  1852;  m.  at  Logansport,  Ind..  Oct.  30, 
1883,  Julia  Comly  (Green)  Ross,  b.  June  16,  1852.  Robert  Brown  Fisk,  son  of 
John  Flavell  and  Elizabeth  Sarah  Fisk,  was  born  at  Covington,  Kenton  County, 
Ky.,  on  March  2,  1852,  at  the  brick  building,  still  standing,  on  the  southeast  corner 
of  Scott  Street,  and  the  alley  between  Fifth  and  Sixth  Streets.  He  was  the  fourth 
of  seven  children,  there  being  a  boy  and  two  girls  on  each  side  of  Robert.  He 
attended  the  public  schools  in  his  native  town,  ultimately  graduating  from  the  high 
school  there,  after  taking  the  first  three  years  of  a  collegiate  course,  at  the  high 
school,  under  the  able  tutorship  of  Prof.  John  Wortham  Hall,  whose  father.  Dr.  J. 
W.  Hall,  was  for  many  years  president  of  Miami  University  at  Oxford,  Ohio.  At 
the  high  school  he  met  Miss  Julia  Comly  Green,  sister-in-law  of  Professor  Hall, 
who,  subsequently,  became  Robert's  wife,  their  engagement  having  been  broken 
ofif,  and,  when  Miss  Green  became  a  widow,  renewed  and  their  marriage  resulting. 
Graduating  with  honors  from  this  school,  Robert  immediately  applied  himself  to 
the  study  of  law,  in  the  office  of  his  father  and  brother,  constituting  the  firm  of 
J.  F.  &  C.  H.  Fisk,  in  Covington.  Robert  was  admitted  to  the  practice  of  the  law 
when  not  quite  20  years  of  age,  and  for  several  years  continued  in  the  office  where 
he  had  studied,  but  never  became  a  member  of  the  firm.  In  1880  he  associated 
with  himself  Mr.  William  D.  Brent,  at  that  time  a  clerk  in  the  office  of  J.  F.  &  C. 
H.  Fisk,  and  under  the  style  of  Fisk  &  Btent  these  two  opened  an  office  as  attor- 
neys, in  the  old  Greer  block,  on  Lower  Market  and  Scott  Street,  Covington.  Ky. 
Mr.  Brent  having  been  appointed  city  cleik  to  fill  a  vacancy,  the  partnership  of 
Fisk  &  Brent  was  dissolved  and  Mr.  Fisk  after  practicing  in  Covington  for  a  time 
by  himself,  finally,  in  1884,  left  his  native  city  and  located  at  Pierre  in  the  then  ter- 
ritory of  Dakota,  but  now  the  capital  of  South  Dakota.  While  living  at  Pierre,  in 
1885,  Mr.  Fisk  was  appointed  by  Hon.  Gilbert  A.  Pierce,  then  Governor  of  the 
territory,  as  supervisor  of  the  census  taken  of  the  territory  in  that  year.  The  terri- 
tory was  divided,  in  this  work,  by  an  imaginary  line,  running  about  on  the  present 
line  between  North  and  South  Dakota,  Mr.  Fisk  having  the  supervision  of  the 
southern  portion.  This  was  a  larger  territory  than  ever  before  or  since  super- 
vised b,v  one  person,  it  requiring  a  force  of  about  four  hundred  enumerators  to  do 
the  actual  canvassing  for  returns,  there  being  about  263,000  people  in  the  district 
Mr.  Fisk,  however,  was  possessed  of  ambition  to  do  well  and  an  almost  inexhausti- 
ble ability  for  work.  He  completed  his  work,  returned  his  schedules,  and  for  the 
first  (and  perhaps  the  only)  time  these  returns  were  recognized  and  paid  for  by  the 
National  Government,  in  the  proportion  provided  by  law.  The  total  expenses  of 
the  census  for  Mr.  Fisk's  district  were  about  $27,000,  and  every  cent  of  it  was 
properly  accounted  for.  While  acting  as  supervisor  of  this  census,  Mr.  Fisk  was 
a  witness  before  the  sub-committee  of  the  Senatorial  Committee,  appointed  to 
inquire  into  the  condition  of  the  settlers  on  the  Crow  Creek  Indian  reservation, 
opened  to  settlement  by  proclamation  of  President  Arthur,  at  about  the  close  of 
his  term  of  office,  and  "closed,"  by  proclamation  of  President  Cleveland,  shortly 


640  FISKE  GENEALOGY. 

after  his  ascension  to  the  Presidency.  Mr.  Fisk's  testimony,  before  this  commit- 
tee, coupled  with  a  very  full  exposition  of  the  matter,  tabulated,  by  Mr.  Fisk,  from 
his  census  schedules,  had  much  to  do  with  the  subsequent  action  of  Congress  in 
recognizing  the  rights  of  these  settlers  and  the  congressional  relief  afforded  them. 
This  sub-committee  was  composed  of  Benjamin  Harrison,  of  Indiana,  John  J. 
Ingalls  of  Kansas  and  Senator  Jones  of  Arkansas.  Just  before  leaving  Covington, 
and  just  after  going  to  Pierre,  Mr.  Fisk  compiled,  for  the  city  of  Covington,  the 
statute  laws  of  Kentucky,  the  ordinances  ot  the  city,  and  the  decisions  of  the  Court 
of  Appeals  of  Kentucky,  touching  questions  of  importance  to  cities,  a  work  which 
has  received  very  high  commendation  from  the  bar  of  Kentucky.  In  1884  Mr. 
Fisk  made  homestead  filing  on  the  S.  W.  Ki  of  Section  6,  Township  117,  Range  75, 
in  Potter  County  (now),  South  Dakota,  and  moved  to  that  place.  In  1890  he 
moved  his  residence  to  Gettysburg,  the  county  seat  of  Potter  County,  where  he 
had  opened  a  law  office  in  1886,  and  where  he  still  resides,  engaged  in  the  practice 
of  law.  In  1892  Mr.  Fisk  was  secretary  of  the  Volunteer  World's  Fair  Com- 
mission of  South  Dakota,  having  been  a  delegate,  sent  by  the  Business  Men's 
Association  of  Gettysburg,  to  the  convention,  at  which  that  commission  was 
formed.  This  commission  afterward  gave  way  to  that  appointed  by  the  Governor 
of  the  State,  with  which  Mr.  Fisk  was  not  connected.  His  wife  is  the  great- 
granddaughter  of  Samuel  Meredith,  the  first  treasurer  of  the  United  States  and  a 
warm  personal  friend  of  Washington.  Her  father,  Richard  Green,  was  a  native 
of  Pluddersfield,  Yorkshire,  England.  He  married  Margaret  Meredith,  at  Wilkes 
Barre,  Pa.,- and  was  for  many  years  a  leading  merchant  of  Dayton,  Ohio,  from 
which  place  he  moved  to  near  Logansport,  Ind.,  where  he  died.  Mrs.  Fisk's 
mother  is  still  living  at  the  advanced  age  of  88  years,  in  the  full  possession  of  all 
her  faculties,  and  having  the  appearance  of  a  woman  of  not  over  60.  Mrs.  Fisk 
is  a  woman  of  queenly  form  and  face,  a  lady  of  rare  accomplishments  and  noted 
for  her  domestic  virtues.  IMr.  Fisk  is  counted  a  good  lawyer  and  is  ranked  among 
the  most  eloquent  and  forcible  speakers  ot  South  Dakota.  He  is  a  Republican  in 
politics,  a  member  of  the  Christian  Church,  and  is  now  the  County  Judge  of  Pot- 
ter County.  His  home  is  a  model  of  combined  southern  and  western  hospitality; 
his  married  life  has  been  unusually  felicitous  and  happy;  res.  Gettysburg,  So.  Dak.

b.  May  8,  1844.  He  was  born  in  Essex  county,  N.  Y.,  in  1836.  son  of  a  lumber- 
man, and  his  early  years  gave  him  a  practical  training  in  all  that  pertained  to  the 
life  of  a  lumberman.  When  still  young,  being  possessed  of  a  desire  to  seek  his 
fortun.e  with  the  great  th'-ong  then  hurrying  west,  shortly  after  the  discovery  of 
gold  in  California,  he  crossed  the  plains  long  before  a  locomotive  whistle  was 
there  heard,  and  then  it  was  at  the  risk  of  one's  life  that  such  a  venture  was  made. 
He  arrived  at  Salt  Lake  City  shortly  after  the   famous   Mountain   Meadow   mas-

sacre,  and,  as  it  soon  became  manifest  to  him  that  a  man  who  did  not  intend 
to  become  a  Mormon,  and  did  not  want  to  adopt  polygamy,  had  Httle  chance  of 
success  there,  he  hastened  on  to  Nevada.  Eleven  years  of  the  most  eventful  char- 
acter were  spent  afterward,  prospecting  on  the  mountains  of  Nevada,  Colorado, 
California,  Idaho  and  Montana.  At  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War,  he  joined  a 
company  of  Rangers  in  Nevada,  and  they,  starting  east  for  the  scene  of  hostili- 
ties, were  recalled  by  the  Governor  to  suppress  an  uprising  in  that  State,  and 
thereafter  the  Rangers  were  retained  in  Virginia  City  for  the  protection  of  property 
from  Indians  and  outlaws.  After  the  close  of  the  war,  Mr.  Fisk  returned  east  and 
decided  to  settle  and  enter  into  the  lumber  business  in  New  York  State.  A  few- 
years  of  the  quiet  monotony  of  business  life  again  brought  on  a  desire  for  the  rush 
and  activity  of  the  west,  and  he  returned  to  Alontana  where  he  spent  ten  years  in 
the  lumber  business  and  in  railroad  contracting.  During  this  period  he  was  one 
•of  the  constructors  of  a  branch  of  the  Union  Pacific  Railroad,  and  he  also  built  an 
hundred  miles  of  the  Northern  Pacific  Railroad.  On  the  completion  of  the  latter 
road,  while  on  a  visit  east,  circumstances  brought  him  to  Berkshire,  and  being 
pleased  with  the  people  and  surroundings,  he  decided  to  retire  from  active  busi- 
ness and  enjoy  the  quiet  of  his  present  home,  "Brookside,"  in  Cheshire,  which 
had  been  the  home  of  his  ancestors  since  the  settlement  of  the  Hoosac  Valley. 
Mr.  Fisk's  education  has  been  for  the  most  part  practical,  having  entered  his 
lather's  mills  after  a  few  years'  study  in  the  public  schools,  though  he  later  studied 
•a  year  at  Dickinson  Academy,  in  Pennsylvania.  Nevertheless  the  lessons  taught 
him  in  the  rough  school  of  experience  have  served  him  best,  and  have  made  him 
one  of  those  free,  easy  men  of  the  western  stamp  who  see  the  broad  side  of  life, 
and  overlook  the  petty  ditYerences  so  prevalent  in  the  east.  As  a  business  man 
he  has  had  experience  enough  to  qualify  him  for  most  any  position,  and,  coupled 
with  this  knowledge,  has  a  keen  insight  of  men  and  affairs  that  especially  fits 
him  as  a  legislator.  With  his  home  in  the  heart  of  a  farming  community,  he  is 
-especially  interested  in  all  that  concerns  the  farmer,  and  will  no  doubt  prove  of 
valuable  service  at  the  next  session  of  the  Legislature  in  the  consideration  of 
tuberculosis  and  bounty  to  farmers  for  cows  killed.  His  large  experience  covers 
3iiost  any  point  on  which  he  is  liable  to  be  sounded,  and  his  residence  here,  coupled 
with  his  interest  in  his  district,  all  make  him  the  man  for  the  place.  There  can 
be  no  doubt  but  Mr.  Fisk  will  make  us  a  most  etificient  and  servicable  Representa- 
tive. He  is  not  a  politician,  though  he  has  always  identified  himself  with  the 
-Republican  party:  res.  Cheshire,  Mass.

Benjamin,  John,  John,  Phinehas,  Thomas.  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Sy- 
mond),  b.  June  16.  1829;  m.  Feb.  10,  1850.  in  Tioga,  Pa.,  Jane  E.  Spencer.  Ansel  J. 
Fisk,  M.  D.,  son  of  Lyman  and  Betsey  Fisk,  was  born  at  Schroon,  Essex  county, 
N.  Y.  At  the  age  of  16  he  came  with  his  father  to  Tioga,  Pa.,  where  they  engaged 
actively  in  lumbering,  the  young  man  attending  to  the  financial  part  of  the  busi- 
ness, and  keeping  all  the  books  and  accounts.  His  school  days  were  limited,  his 
literary  training  meager,  but  he  learned  to  be  methodical  in  alYairs,  which  was  best 
-evidenced  in  his  career  as  a  physician.  Moved  to  Bellenart,  Canada,  in  1854,  and 
by  close  attention  to  the  manufacture  of  lumber,  he  soon  acquired  a  fine  compe- 
tence. Returning  to  Tioga,  in  1861,  he  purchased  large  tracts  of  forest  land,  and 
building  mills,  continued  the  lumbering  business  for  some  years.  In  1873  he  com- 
menced the  study  of  medicine  with  Dr.  R.  B.  Smith,  of  Tioga.  Pa.  He  attended 
his  first  course  of  lectures  at  Bellevue  and  graduated  at  Detroit  Medical  College,  in 
1876.  He  immediately  entered  upon  practice  at  Farmington,  Pa.,  and  continued 
-actively  engaged  in  the  duties  of  the  profession  imtil  his  health  became  so  impaired 
that  he  could  no  longer  labor  in  his  chosen  field.  His  boyhood  days  were  spent 
amidst  the  scenes  of  the  Great  North  woods,  and  the  mountain  ranges  of  the  Adi- 
rondacks,  where  he  became  familiar  with  gun  and  rod  and  in  mature  years  he  ever 
enjoyed  the  recreation  of  hunting  and  fishing.  Mr.  Fisk  was  a  born  doctor  and  had  a 
natural  tendency  toward  medicine  and  surgery.  At  his  lumber  works  in  Canada, 
situated  a  long  drive  from  a  physician,  he  provided  himself  with  a  case  of  medi- 
cines and  surgical  instruments,  and  prescribed  for  his  workmen,  sewed  up  their 
■cuts  and  dressed  their  injuries  with  excellent  success.  He  had  an  intuitive  faculty  of 
diagnosis,   and  a   quick  perception   at  the  bedside   of  fitting  his   medicine  to   the

case  in  hand.  Optimistic,  of  a  hopeful  temperament,  cheerful  and  cheery  in  na- 
ture, he  inspired  his  patients  with  confidence.  Fertile  in  resources  and  of  unlimited 
courage  he  never  relaxed  his  efforts  to  save  Uis  patient.  He  was  heroic  in  treat- 
ment and  gave  the  maximum  dose.  The  writer  remembers  prescribing  15  grains 
of  potassium  bromide,  when  Dr.  Fisk,  who  was  present,  quietly  remarked:  "You 
are  shooting  bear  with  bird  shot,  give  him  60,"  -and  Fisk  was  right.  There  was 
not  a  particle  of  jealousy  in  his  nature,  professional  or  otherwise.  He  was  never 
known  to  utter  a  word  in  disparagement  of  a  fellow  physician,  or  to  criticise  the 
treatment  of  a  case.  He  believed  that  there  was  room  for  all,  and  that  the  best 
interests  of  the  profession  could  be  attained  by  working  in  harmony.  He  soon  after 
graduating  became  a  member  of  this  society  and  attended  the  meetings  while  his 
health  permitted.  In  politics  he  was  a  Republican.  After  a  painful  illness  of  three 
years,  during  which  time  he  made  the  same  gallant  fight  for  his  own  life,  which 
he  had  always  made  for  his  patients,  he  died  of  Bright's  disease  on  the  56th  anni-

story  was  accepted  by  none  other  than  Datus  E.  Coon,  after- 
ward Minister  to  Cuba.  She  signed  herself  "Eugenia."  In 
1884  her  husband's  health  became  so  poor  that  they  concluded 
to  settle  up  their  affairs  in  Belmond  and  go  to  southern  Kan- 
sas, hoping  the  climate  would  be  beneficial.  But  he  grew 
weaker  and  weaker,  until  he  passed  away,  a  few  months  later. 
Soon  after  her  husband's  death,  her  children  were  prostrated 
with  malarial  fever.  There  was  no  voice  to  soothe,  no  heart  to 
sympathize.  It  was  late  in  January  before  health  was  restored, 
and  to  use  her  own  expression:  "To  retrieve  my  broken  for- 
tunes, I  resolved  to  take  a  claim,  and  make  a  home  for  my 
children."  She  heard  of  a  piece  of  land  out  thirty-five  miles 
from  Harper,  that  had  once  been  taken,  and  then  abandoned, 
by  a  Missourian.  According  to  the  law,  a  piece  of  land  must 
be  entered,  then  lived  upon,  and  improved  six  months,  before 
Uncle  Sam  would  receive  payment.  She  went  by  wagon  to 
Wichita,  a  distance  of  ninety-five  miles,  in  the  dead  of  winter, 
and  presented  her  claim  under  the  pre-emption  law.  She  sent 
out  lumber  for  a  shanty  to  be  built,  and  followed  in  February 
with  the  children.  The  winter  was  bleak,  desolate,  and  forbid- 
ding-— with  snow  and  freezing  winds.  Home-sickness  and  de- 
spondency weighed  crushingly  upon  her;  and  the  loneliness  at 
!  Harper  seemed  to  pale  beside  the  utter  loneliness  here  in  this 

shanty.  When  night  spread  her  pall  over  them,  there  was  no 
sound  save  the  moaning  dirge  of  the  wind  and  the  howling 
of  the  hungry  coyotes  for  company.  Unexpectedly  the  Mis- 
sourian's  son  returned  and  illegally  filed  upon  the  land.  The 
father  had  plowed  eighteen  furrows,  and  had  boarded  up  a 
shanty  without  door,  floor  or  window.  This  was  done  to 
keep  others  away,  but  the  fraud  was  so  apparent,  he  had  not 
dared  to  return,  since  actual  settlers  had  come,  and  must  dis- 
cover his  trickery.  The  Carlisle  Cattle  Company  owned  land 
adjoining,  and  these  men  took  advantage  of  the  prejudice 
against  the  company,  to  circulate  a  report  to  the  effect  that 
Mrs.  Rogers  was  proving  up  land  in  their  favor.  This  made 
her  much  trouble.  There  were  six  men  against  one  woman, 
and  when  she  made  final  proof,  they  contested  her  right.  She 
secured  a  prominent  lawyer  from  Wichita,  and  fought  them. 
After  four  months'  delay,  decision  was  made  in  her  favor  by 
the  registrar  and  receiver.  The  Missourians  appealed,  and 
after  six  months,  the  case  went  against  her,  the  land  commis- 
sioner deciding  that  she  was  in  intrigue  with  the  Cattle  Com- 
pany. It  was  now  that  she  realized  the  truth  of  an  assertion 
of  Brick  Pomeroy's,  in  a  private  letter  to  her:  "If  we  work 
from  principle,  we  must  not  expect — 

To  be  carried  through  this  world 
On  flowery  beds  of  ease; 
But  we  must   ever   limp   along, 
As  though  we  walked  on  peas."

The  matter  was  taken  to  Washington,  D.  C,  and  L.  Q.  C. 

Lamar,  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior,  decided  in  her  favor 
after  many  months  of  delay.  She  sold  her  land  for  $1,400,  and 
went  to  Colorado  with  her  elder  son,  who  was  suffering  with 
consumption.  The  time  came  when  she  had  to  lay  her  sons, 
side  by  side,  in  a  beautiful  valley,  with  only  the  towering 
mountains  to  guard  their  resting  place.  She  was  married  to 
Mr.  Notestine  in  Hardy,  la.,  an  early  settler,  a  member  of  the 
M.  E.  Church,  and  an  influential  citizen  of  Humboldt  County. 
He  was  a  soldier  in  the  War  of  the  Rebellion,  and  it  was  exactly 
thirty  years  from  the  time  he  was  taken  captive,  and  placed  in 
Libby  Prison,  that  he  was  again  taken  captive — this  time  by  a 
woman.  As  Mrs.  Notestine  sits  in  her  comfortable  home,  and 
looks  back  over  the  past,  she  sees  a  golden  thread,  reaching 
through  the  warp  of  her  life,  which  has  kept  its  place  midst  the 
rougher  woof,  forming  beautiful  figures  in  life's  tapestry — and 
this  thread  is  her  literary  aspirations.  She  has  had  many  flat- 
tering words  from  editors,  but  none  she  values  more  than  those 
which  came  from  T.  S.  Arthur,  for  whom  she  has  written 
more  than  for  all  others:  "Your  articles  sound  womanly." 
Her  years  have  been  more  or  less  overcast  with  clouds,  but  as 
she  nears  the  afternoon  of  life,  her  skies  appear  very  auspi- 
cious.    May  the  morrow  be  a  fair  day  for  her.

E.  Walrath,  b.  .     She  res.   Sparta. 

George  Augustus  Fisk  was  the  third  son 
of  Daniel  Fisk,  born  in  Springfield,  O., 
Aug.  5,  1831;  he  moved  with  his  parents 
to  Sparta,  Wis.,  in  the  spring  of  1852;  was 
married  to  Catherine  Eliza  Walrath,  Jan. 
I,  1857.  George  Augustus  Fisk  was  an 
afYectionate  husband  and  father,  a  true 
friend,  and  sometimes  forgiving  his  foes; 
a  Democrat  of  the  old  school,  not  like  the 
present  time;  brave  as  a  lion,  always  ready 
to  help  those  in  distress.  At  the  break- 
ing out  of  the  war  all  the  slumbering 
heroism  of  his  ancestors  broke  out  in 
him.  He  used  to  say:  "I  am  going  to 
help  whip  the  rebels."  "I  want  to  see 
fair  play."  In  1861  he  raised  a  company 
of  volunteers,  and  was  appointed  Captain 
of  Company  D,  Eighteenth  Wisconsin 
Regiment;  was  taken  prisoner  at  the 
battle  of  Shiloh,  Apr.  6;  was  a  prisoner 
of  war  eight  months,  suffering  everything 
but  death.  After  his  release  he  rejoined 
his  regiment;  was  with  it  until  after  the 
surrender  of  Vicksburg.  then  his  health 
failed,  and  he  was  sent  home  to  die.  He 
was  honorably  discharged.  After  a  severe 
illness  of  three  months  he  recovered. 
Nothing  daunted  he  raised  another  com- 
pany, which  was  joined  to  the  Thirty-sixth 
Regiment,  Wisconsin  Volunteers,  Com- 
pany C;  was  appointed  Captain;  was  in  all  the  battles,  including  the  battles  of 
Cold  Harbor,  Hatcher's  Run,  with  the  regiment.  The  following  letter  from  Brig- 
adier-General T.  W.   Egan  is  submitted: 

"Headquarters  Second  Division,  Second  Army  Corps.  Nov.   i,   1865. 
"His  Excellency,  James  T.  Lewis,  Governor  of  the  State  of  Wisconsin.     Your 


MAJOR  GEORGE  AUGUSTUS  FISK. 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  551 


Excellency:  At  this  first  opportunity  since  the  recent  reconnoissance  in  force,  I 
address  you  in  approval  of  the  performance  of  the  Thirty-sixth  Wisconsin  Volun- 
teers, during  that  movement;  they  being  commanded  through  it  all  by  Captain 
George  A.  Fisk.  As  your  excellency  knows,  this  regiment  came  here  new.  They 
were  rushed  into  the  breach  untried,  in  a  campaign  which  has  been  fiercer  and 
more  bloody  than  Napoleon's.  The  Thirty-sixth  made  its  debut  in  a  battle,  of 
which  the  London  Times  says  that  England  could  not  levy  or  lose  one-tenth  of 
number  placed  hors  de  combat.  It  was  a  contest  of  veteran  Americans,  and  the 
comparison  with  them  of  inexperienced  Americans  is  most  unequal.  On  reach- 
ing the  field  the  Thirty-sixth  took  up  their  positions  as  firmly  and  steadily  as  the 
oldest.  In  all  operations  in  mass,  they  were  undistinguishable  for  compactness 
and  celerity,  from  the  best,  but  soon  they  were  given  an  opportunity  for  indi- 
vidual action.  After  several  charges  and  countercharges,  in  which  the  advantage 
remained  with  us,  I  determined  to  take  the  enemy's  position  across  Hatcher's 
Run.  The  order  to  charge  had  just  been  given,  when  the  enemy  opened  heavily 
upon  my  right  and  rear,  and  advanced  upon  my  main  line  in  heavy  masses.  His 
forces  enclosed  three  sides,  and  with  worse  troops,  the  situation  would  have  been 
menacing.  To  crown  all,  a  heavy  body  of  rebels  was  thrown  upon  my  rear  (the 
fourth  side),  and  occupied  the  Boydton  road,  making  a  complete  surround.  A 
swift  face  by  the  rear  rank,  and  wheeling  charge  by  the  New  Jersey  bridge,  cleared 
my  right  flank,  but  from  the  threatening  body  in  my  rear,  it  remained  with  the 
Thirty-sixth  Wisconsin  to  relieve  me.  Captain  Fisk  threw  them  into  line,  and 
dashed  at  the  enemy.  It  was  a  short  fight;  that  rebel  brigade  was  instantaneously 
crumbled  and  destroyed,  being  mostly  captured,  with  arms,  colors  and  officers, 
to  a  total  number  three  times  greater  than  the  Thirty-sixth.  Having  cleared 
my  rear,  the  regiment  returned  to  its  place  in  line,  and  behaved  equally  well  until 
it  returned  to  camp.  If  Napoleon's  regiment  faltered  once,  so  did  they  conquer 
themselves  and  take  place  with  his  bravest,  and  so  in  this  more  bitter  contest,  if 
the  Thirty-sixth  had  anything  to  redeem,  do  I  now  depend  upon  them  with  my 
veterans  I  am  your  excellency's  obedient  servant, 

"T.  W.  Eagan,  Brigadier-General  Commanding  Division." 

He  was  commissioned  as  Major  of  the  Thirty-sixth  Regiment,  Mar.  7,  1865. 
At  the  end  of  the  war  was  ofifered  a  position  in  the  United  States  Army  as  an 
oiificer,  but  instead  came  home,  and  in  the  fall  of  1866  was  elected  Sheriff  of  Mon- 
roe county. 

"Death  of  Major  Fisk. — Still  another  of  the  old  residents  of  Sparta  has  joined 
the  silent  majority.  Major  Geo.  A.  Fisk,  who  for  two  years  past  has  been  con- 
fined to  his  house,  from  a  complication  of  ailments,  breathed  his  last  Friday  morn- 
ing, Aug.  13,  1886,  at  his  residence  in  this  city.  Capt.  Fisk  was  one  of  the  very 
earliest  residents  of  this  vicinity,  removing  here  with  his  father's  family,  in  the 
spring  of  i8=;2.  He  was  born  in  Springfield,  O.,  Aug.  5,  1831.  his  age  at  death 
therefore  being  56  years  and  nine  days.  His  early  residence  in  Sparta  was  marked 
by  the  usual  incidents  and  vicissitudes  of  the  Spartans  in  those  days  of  the  in- 
.  fant  city,  and  he  witnessed  its  growth  from  a  hamlet  in  the  wilderness,  up  to  a 
thriving  village.  He  had  an  active,  courageous  spirit,  and  at  the  breaking  out 
of  the  war,  was  one  of  the  first  to  spring  to  the  front  in  his  country's  defense.  He 
raised  a  company  of  volunteers,  and  was  appointed  Captain  of  Company  D,  Eight- 
eenth Regiment,  in  1861.  He  was  captured  by  the  enemy  at  Shiloh,  Apr.  6,  1862. 
and  was  released  Oct.  14,  1862.  In  1864  he  raised  another  company,  which  was 
joined  to  the  Thirty-sixth  Wisconsin  Regiment  as  Company  C,  and  of  which  he  was 
appointed  the  Captain.  This  regiment  was  assigned  to  the  First  Brigade,  Second 
Division,  of  the  Second  Army  Corps,  with  which  it  served  till  the  close  of  the  war, 
seeing  the  severe  service  of  the  advance  on  Petersburg,  and  the  siege  of  that  place, 
from  June  14,  to  Aug.  12,  when  it  was  removed  down  the  James  River,  afterwards 
returning  and  participating  in  the  fight  at  Reams'  Station,  on  the  25th.  Capt. 
Fisk  took  command  of  the  regiment  about  this  time.  The  Thirty-sixth  and  Capt. 
Fisk  won  especial  praise  for  gallantry  at  the  battle  of  Hatcher's  Run.  Oct.  27,  where 
the  Thirty-sixth  was  formed  in  line  of  battle,  with  the  Second  and  Third  Brigades 
on  the  right,  and  the  Third  Division  in  the  rear.  At  3  o'clock  the  enemy,  in 
heavy  force,  charged  the  Third  Division,  causing  it  to  break,  thus  cutting  ofif  all 
communication  with  the  rear.  Seeing  the  perilous  condition.  Captain  Fisk  ordered 
the  regiment  to  face  by  the  rear  rank,  fix  bayonets  and  charge,  which  was  hand-

somely  executed,  striking  the  rebels  on  the  flank,  doubHng  up  their  line,  causing 
Ihem  to  break  and  run,  and  capturing  a  large  number  of  prisoners,  with  one  stand 
•of  colors.  In  this  engagement  the  casualties  of  the  regiment  were  fifteen  wounded 
and  no  missing.  Brigadier-General  Egan,  commanding  the  Second  Division,  in 
his  official  report,  speaks  of  the  regiment  in  the  highest  terms,  saying  that  'it  cap- 
tured a  larger  number  of  prisoners  than  it  had  men  engaged,'  and  refers  especially 
to  the  gallant  conduct  and  cool  daring  of  Captain  Fisk,  commanding  the  regiment. 
Captain  received  an  appointment  as  Major,  Mar.  7,  1865.  The  regiment  was 
mustered  out  July  12,  1865,  and  was  disbanded  at  Madison  on  the  24th.  Major 
Fisk  served  one  term  as  Sherifif  of  the  county,  in  1866-68,  subsequently  engaging  in 
selling  farm  machinery,  in  which  he  continued  as  long  as  his  health  permitted. 
His  wife,  Catherine  E.  Walrath,  to  whom  he  was  married  in  1857,  survives  him. 
The  funeral  took  place  Sunday  afternoon  from  his  residence,  the  Masonic  fraternity

with  the  class  of  1893.  As  a  student  he  was  patient  and  pains- 
taking. Beneath  his  modest  demeanor  could  be  seen  marks 
of  strong  character.  He  had  a  hearty  admiration  for  the 
heroes  of  history,  and  took  for  the  subject  of  his  graduat- 
ing oration,  "The  Men  Who  Never  Die."  At  present  Daniel 
is  making  a  clean  and  creditable  record  in  Beloit  College.

mond),  b.  Bennington,  Vt.,  Feb.  2^,  1836;  m.  at  Newark,  N.  Y.,  May  8,  i86i» 
Adelaide  Bartle,  b.  May  30,  1840.  Richmond  Fisk,  Jr.,  was  born  at  Bennington 
Centre,  Vt.  Was  fitted  for  college  at  Ball  Seminary,  Hoosick  Falls,  N.  Y. 
Entered  Williams  College  in  1854,  spending  two  years  there,  and  then  two  years 
at  Union  College,  where  he  graduated  in  1858.  During  three  winters  of  his  col- 
lege course  he  taught  school.  On  graduating  he  entered  the  law  office  of  Hon. 
Stephen  L.  Magoun,  of  Hudson,  N.  Y.,  and  had  not  a  little  experience  in  collect- 
ing rents  on  large  estates  of  which  Mr.  Magoun  was  agent  or  administrator. 
Though  a  good  and  interested  student  of  the  law.  his  aptitude  as  developed  by  his 
favorite  college  studies  of  philosophy  turned  his  mind  more  to  the  ministry 
than  to  the  law  as  a  calling.  He  entered  the  study  of  Rev.  A.  D.  Mayo,  then 
pastor  of  the  Unitarian  Church,  Albany,  N.  Y.,  in  1859,  and  was  ordained  in  1861 
as  minister  of  the  Universalist  Church  in  Newark,  Wayne  County,  N.  Y.  Was 
married  to  Adelaide  Bartle,  daughter  of  Col.  James  P.  Bartle,  of  Newark.  N.  Y. 
Dr.  Fisk  has  had  settlements  in  Newark,  N.  Y.,  three  years;  Lockport.  N.  Y., 
three  years,  where  he  resigned,  intending  to  accept  a  call  to  the  professorship 
of  Biblical  languages  in  the  Theological  School  of  St.  Lawrence  University.  Canton, 
N.  Y.,  but  was  induced  to  take  a  pastorate  at  Auburn,  N.  Y..  a  large  and  impor- 
tant church,  from  which  place,  however,  after  three  years,  he  was  called  to  the 
presidency  of  the  College  of  Science  and  Letters  of  St.  Lawrence  University. 
Here  four  years  were  spent  in  fostering  the  financial  and  educational  interests  of 
the  college,  his  time  divided  between  the  duties  of  the  professor's  chair  of 
mental  and  moral  philosophy  and  the  field  seeking  money  and  students.  After 
nearly  four  years  he  accepted  a  call  to  Grand  Rapids,  and  thence  in  three  years  ta 
Sycamore,  N.  Y.,  where  for  ten  years,  from  1874  to  1884,  he  engaged,  in  connection 
with  his  church  cares,  in  the  charities  of  the  city.  He  was  instrumental  in  founding 
the  Bureau  of  Labor  and  Charities  of  that  city,  and  was  its  general  secretary  for 
seven  years.  He  also  established  in  connection  with  the  bureau  branches  of  the 
societies  for  the  prevention  of  cruelty  to  children  and  to  animals;  also 
the  Red  Cross  Society,  of  Miss  Clara  Barton,  by  which  latter  society 
thousands  of  dollars  in  clothing  and  money  were  sent  to  the  flood 
sufferers  of  the  South.  He  was  also  secretary  of  the  Civil  Service 
Society  of  Syracuse.  He  was  obliged  by  over  work  to  give  vp  his  man- 
ifold work  in  Syracuse,  and,  in  1884,  accepted  a  call  to  Watertown,  N.  Y., 
where  for  eight  years  his  ministry  was  prospered  as  in  all  his  previous  settlements, 
while  for  seven  years  of  the  time  he  was  president  of  the  Watertown  Bureau  of 
Charities,  which  he  had  aided  in  organizing  while  he  was  general  secretary  of  the 
Syracuse  Bureau.  While  located  in  Watertown,  N.  Y.,  he  was  apoointed  by 
Gov.  Flower  a  trustee  of  the  Asylum  for  Feeble  Minded  Women,  at  Newark,  N. 
Y.  He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Jefferson  County,  N.  Y..  Historical  Society, 
and  its  secretary  for  six  years.  In  1892  Dr.  Fisk  accepted  a  call  to  the  Church 
of  Our  Father  (Unitarian),  of  Boston  (East),  a  large  church  and  Sunday  school, 
where  his  reputation  as  a  charity  worker  preceding  him  has  brought  him  actively  in 
the  great  field  of  Boston  charity  work.  He  is  vice-president  of  the  Unitarian  Sunday 
School  Society,  and  of  the  East  Boston  Charity  Organization  Society,  founder  of

in  Bennington,  Vt.,  May  30,  1838.  His 
early  boyhood  was  uneventful,  being 
spent  on  a  farm;  moved  with  his  parents 
to  Hoosick  Falls,  Rensselaer  County, 
N.  Y.,  in  1848.  He  attended  school 
there  at  Ball  Seminary  until  his  17th 
year;  taught  in  district  schools  the  five 
following  winters.  It  was  said  of  him 
that  he  was  a  good  teacher;  was  married 
Jan.  23,  1861,  to  Lucy  Elizabeth  Ames, 
daughter  of  Lorenzo  Ames,  of  Hudson, 
Mich.  In  May,  i86r,  he  enlisted  for 
three  years,  under  Franklin  M.  Crossett, 
in  the  Band  of  the  Second  Regiment, 
Vermont  Volunteers;  was  present  at  the 
first  Bull  Run  battle,  July  21,  1861,  as 
well  as  at  several  other  engagements  of 
less  note;  discharged  from  service  with 
the  band  Dec.  19,  1861 ;  worked  a  num- 
ber of  years  as  pattern  maker  with  "The 
Walter  A.  Wood  Mowing  &  Reaping 
Machine  Co.,"  of  Hoosick  Falls,  N.  Y. 
In  the  spring  of  1870  he  joined  the  fa- 
mous Union  Colony  of  Colorado,  as  one 
of  the  original  members,  which  founded 
the  city  of  Greeley,  Colo.  He  was  called  home  that  summer  because  of  an  almost 
fatal  accident  to  his  wife;  resumed  work  as  a  pattern  maker.  In  the  spring  of  1876 
returned  to  Greeley,  Colo.,  which  has  been  his  home  since,  and  the  place  where

his  reputation  as  an  artistic  violin  maker  has  been  earned.  His  work  in  this  Hne 
has  received  the  unstinted  commendation  of  such  celebrated  violinists  as  August 
Wilhelmj,  Edouard  Remenyi,  George  Lehmann,  Ferdinand  Stark,  and  many  oth- 
ers of  note,  who  unhesitatingly  tell  him  that  he  has  no  living  superior  in  the  world, 
as  a  maker  of  fine  violins,  and  very  few  equals.  Edouard  Remenyi,  the  great  vio- 
lin virtuoso,  says  in  the  Denver  Daily  Tribune,  Aug.  31,  1883.  *  *  *  * 
"Among  the  thousand  of  '  fiddle  makers  '  in  Europe  and  America,  Mr.  Geo.  W. 
Fisk,  of  Greeley,  Colo.,  is  one  out  of  only  four  real  violin  makers  that  I  have  found 
in  my  travels  over  the  world.  His  workmanship  is  well  nigh  perfect.  *  *  * 
The  violin  he  made  for  me  is  a  beauty,  and  has  a  grand,  mellow,  magnificent  tone. 
Mr.  Fisk  will  back  up  all  I  have  stated  of  him."  Mr.  Fisk  was  married  the  second 
time,  Dec.  28,  1887,  to  Katherine  Lois  Moody,  daughter  of  Dr.  Nathan  J.  Moody,

HON.  WILLIAM  JUSTAN  FISK  (Joel  S.,  Solomon,  Ichabod  E., 
Ebenezer,  Ebenezer,  John,  John,  Phinehas,  Thomas,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  Will- 
iam, Symond),  b.  Brunswick,  O.,  June  25,  1833;  m.  at  Fond  du  Lac,  Wis.,  Jan.  8, 
1855,  Mary  J.  Driggs,  b.  Dec.  6,  1834.  The  boyhood  days  of  the  subject  of  this 
memoir  were  passed  in  the  manner  of  other  boys.  Attended  such  schools  as  the 
community  afiforded  until  he  was  14  years  of  age,  and  from  that  time  on  through 
life  he  has  earned  his  own  living.  His  first  work  was  performed  in  the  land  office 
in  Green  Bay  in  1848,  and  while  thus  engaged  he  made  the  maps  for  the  reser- 
vation of  lands  for  the  improvement  of  the  Fox  and  Wisconsin  Rivers.  While  an 
employe  of  the  land  office  John  Fitzgerald  urged  him  to  save  his  money  and 
invest  his  savings  in  land.  So  thoroughly  did  Mr.  Fitzgerald  impress  the  matter 
upon  his  mind  that  the  principle  of  economy  was  thoroughly  ingrafted  into  him. 
Out  of  his  first  savings  he  purchased  120  acres  of  land,  and  thusbecame  a  property 
owner  before  he  was  16.  In  1849  he  became  an  employe  of  a  jeweler  and  watch- 
maker; the  following  year  he  obtained  a  position  as  clerk  with  a  Fort  Howard 
merchant  at  a  salary  of  twenty-five  dollars  per  montli.  At  the  end  of  two  years, 
having  saved  some  money  and  being  desirous  of  improving  his  education,  he 
attended  the  institute  at  Appleton,  Wis.,  paying  from  his  savings  for  his  tuition  and 
board.  At  the  age  of  20  years  he  returned  to  Fort  Howard  and  at  once  began 
trading  in  the  products  brought  into  the  town.  Early  in  his  boyhood  days  he  had 
displayed  his  self-reliance,  and  his  father  encouraged  him  in  the  direction  in  which 
he  had  started  by  leaving  him  to  his  own  resources.  During  his  first  year  he  entered 
into  a  contract  with  Chancy  Lamb,  of  Clinton,  la.,  to  furnish  him  400,000  shingles, 
at  two  dollars  and  a  half  a  thousand.     Mr.   Lamb  took  a  deep  interest  in  the 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  561 


young  man  and  encouraged  him  a  great  deal.  He  paid  him  in  advance  $i,ooo  in 
cash  for  the  shingles;  and  Mr.  Fisk  now  says  that  that  was  the  largest  amount  of 
money  he  had  ever  seen  at  one  time,  and  made  him  feel  wealthier  than  he  has 
ever  felt  since.  In  the  fall  of  1853  Mr.  Fisk  entered  the  mercantile  business  in  Fort 
Howard,  and  in  1855  erected  a  shingle  mill,  being  the  second  man  to  manufacture 
sawed  shingles  in  the  west.  His  business  was  prosperous  and  he  was  successful 
in  outside  trading,  and  felt  that  he  was  on  the  high  road  to  permanent  prosperity 
when  the  panic  of  1857  paralyzed  the  industries  of  the  country  and  badly  crippled 
Mr.  Fisk's  financial  operations,  although  he  remained  perfectly  solvent.  Among 
his  possessions  were  2,000,000  shingles;  but  there  was  no  market  for  them.  He 
therefore  suggested  to  E.  A.  Goodrich,  now  the  controlling  spirit  of  the  Good- 
rich Transportation  Company,  to  carry  them  to  Chicago,  where  they  should  await 
a  sale.  This  was  done,  but  it  required  two  years'  time  before  the  shingles  were 
finally  sold.  In  1862  Mr.  Fisk  sold  out  his  mercantile  establishment,  and  in  that 
year  canvassed  the  county  in  the  interest  of  voting  bonds  for  the  construction  of  a 
railroad.  Being  well  known  throughout  the  county  he  assisted  most  materially 
in  having  the  necessary  aid  voted.  Some  of  his  experiences  were  interesting  and 
humorous.  Few  persons,  indeed,  knew  what  a  railroad  was,  and  some  of  their 
ideas,  drawn  entirely  from  imagination,  displayed  dense  ignorance.  One  man  said- 
he  would  favor  it  if  it  were  only  a  canal;  others  thought  the  company  would  get 
the  money  and  not  build  the  road;  others,  that  the  road  wotild  not  be  used  after 
it  was  built;  another  man,  from  "York  State,"  who  owned  forty  acres  of  land,  had 
seen  railroads  and  knew  all  about  them,  said  that  if  the  company  would  run  across 
the  corner  of  his  land  and  give  him  a  side-track  and  buy  all  the  wood  it  needed 
of  him  he  would  vote  in  favor  of  the  bonds!  After  the  bonds  were  voted  Mr.  Fisk. 
took  a  contract  to  furnish  the  timber  and  ties  used  in  constructing  the  road  between 
Appleton  and  Fort  Howard,  and  also  for  building  the  railroad  company's  docks 
and  elevator.  Since  then  he  has  been  operating  continually  with  the  Northwestern 
Railroad,  furnishing  a  large  amount  of  timber  and  ties  for  the  use  of  the  various 
divisions  of  that  road.  In  1871  he  furnished  the  material  for  the  construction 
of  the  road  to  Marinette,  and  in  the  following  year  did  the  same  for  the  extension 
from  Menominee  to  Escanaba.  After  his  elder  sons  had  grown  to  manhood  he 
admitted  them  into  the  business,  and  now  the  firm  is  known  as  W.  D.  Fisk  & 
Co.,  composed  of  himself  and  W.  D.  and  Harry  W.  Fisk,  two  of  his  sons. 
For  nearly  thirty  years  Mr.  Fisk  has  been  connected  with  the  banking  interests 
of  Green  Bay.  In  1865  he  became  a  stockholder  and  director  in  the  First  Na- 
tional Bank,  of  Green  Bay;  in  1870  he  became  president  of  the  City  National  Bank,, 
and  in  1874,  when  that  institution  was  succeeded  by  the  Kellogg  National  Bank, 
he  became  vice-president  of  the  last  named  institution.  In  1891  Mr.  Kellogg  died, 
and  Mr.  Fisk  was  induced  to  accept  the  presidency,  and  this  position  he  now  oc- 
cupies. As  a  financier  he  enjoys  a  high  reputation,  and  as  a  conservative,  far- 
seeing  banker  he  enjoys  the  confidence  of  all  classes  in  the  community.  He  has 
been  engaged  in  a  great  number  of  enterprises  during  his  business  life  in  Green 
Bay,  all  of  which  have  been  benefited  by  his  business  ability.  Before  the  advent  of 
the  railroads,  communication  with  the  outside  world  was  carried  on  by  boats  in 
summer  and  by  stages  in  winter.  One  company  was  known  as  the  Green  Bay 
&  Menominee  Navigation  Company,  and  he  was  largely  interested  in  this  corpora- 
tion, acting  as  its  superintendent  during  its  existence.  Mr.  Fisk  owned  large 
tracts  of  timber  lands,  and  at  the  time  of  the  Peshtigo  fire  in  1871,  some  10,000 
acres  of  valuable  timber  belonging  to  him  were  devoured  by  the  flames;  and  he  also 
lost  heavily  in  the  Chicago  fire  at  the  same  time.  This  was  a  severe  blow  to  him, 
but,  undiscouraged,  he  went  manfully  to  work  and  soon  retrieved  his  fortunes. 
Politically  Mr.  Fisk  is  of  Democratic  antecedents,  but  is  now  strongly  Republican. 
In  i860  he  voted  for  Abraham  Lincoln,  and  ever  since  then  he  has  been  a  firm 
believer  in  the  doctrines  of  Republicanism.  In  the  early  years  of  his  business  life 
he  was  Alderman  of  the  city,  and  at  one  time  filled  the  position  of  City  Treasurer; 
and  from  1862  to  1865  he  was  also  Postmaster.  In  1875  he  was  elected  a  member 
of  the  State  Legislature,  and  was  re-elected  in  1876  and  1877.  He  was  active,  in  a 
quiet  way,  in  opposition  to  the  "Granger"  legislation  against  railroads,  and  was 
chairman  of  the  committee  on  railroads  when  the  famous  Potter  railroad  law  was 
repealed.  He  has  never  sought  political  positions,  and  has  no  desire  for  honors 
of  that  kind.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Alasonic  fraternity,  being  now  a  Knight 
Templar.  Mr.  Fisk's  career  illustrates  forcibly  the  power  of  steady  application  and 
36 


562  FISKE  GENEALOGY. 


grit.  Very  early  in  life  he  displayed  a  degree  of  self-reliance  and  business  ability 
which  alone  would  assure  success  to  any  boy.  He  has  overcome  all  obstacles  and 
earned  for  himself  the  title  of  "self-made"  man  in  the  fullest  sense  of  that  often 
misused  term.  He  has  led  an  honorable,  straightforward  life,  aiding  all  feasible 
enterprises  that  would  materially  benefit  the  cities  of  Green  Bay  and  Fort 
Howard,  and  giving  from  his  store  to  religious  and  charitable  institutions.  He  is 
a  member  of  no  church,  but  believes  in  the  power  of  religion  for  good,  and  the 
Young  Men's  Christian  Association  has  found  in  him  a  warm  friend  and  a  gen- 
erous patron.  His  career  should  serve  as  an  inspiration  to  the  younger  and  convince 
them  that  steady  application,  energetic  grit  and  honest  and  upright  conduct  are  the 
principles  on  which  true  success  is  founded.  Personally  Mr.  Fisk  is  courteous 
and  a  pleasant,  social  companion.  All  his  acts  show  him  to  be  a  retiring,  unosten- 
tatious gentleman,  and  he  commands  the  honor  and  respect  of  the  entire  com- 
munity; res.  Green  Bay,  Wis.

William,  Symond),  b.  May  28,  1843,  in  De  Pere,  Wis.;  m.  there,  Oct.  19,  1868, 
Mary  J.  Lawton,  b.  Apr.  15,  1844.  The  name  Lawton  was  originally  spelled  Lay- 
ton.  One  John  Layton,  who  was  born  in  1630,  in  1652  went  with  some  twenty- 
seven  others,  mostly  from  Connecticut  and  other  portions  of  New  England  colo- 
nies, settled  in  Newtown,  Long  Island,  N.  Y.,  and  purchased  farms  direct  from  the 
Indian  owners,  although  also  purchasing  titles  from  the  government  of  New 
JSIetherlands,  of  which  Peter  Stuyvesant  was  then  governor;  and  it  is  worthy  of 
record  that  this  purchase  from  the  Indians  was  the  only  one  of  that  kind  made, 
'excepting  a  similar  transaction  effected  by  William  Penn,  in  Pennsylvania.  During 
John  Layton's  residence  in  New  Netherlands,  that  colony  fell  into  the  hands  of 
the  Duke  of  York,  and  on  account  of  the  active  and  prominent  part  he  took 
against  Governor  Stuyvesant,  Layton  made  many  enemies  among  the  Dutch  col- 
•onists.  Consequently  he  moved  with  his  family  to  Sufheld,  Conn.,  where  he  died 
Sept.,  1690,  and  was  buried  in  the  Presbyterian  graveyard  by  the  side  of  his  wife, 
Benedicta.  Their  gravestones  are  still  (1894)  extant,  and  the  name  inscribed 
thereon  is  plainly  "Lawton,"  so  that  the  change  of  the  spelling  of  the  name  pre- 
sumably must  have  taken  place  some  time  in  the  latter  part  of  the  seventeenth 
-century.  John  Layton  married,  Sept.  21,  1659,  Johanna  Williams,  by  whom  he  had 
■one  daughter,  Mary.  He  married,  2d,  at  Portsmouth,  R.  I.,  in  1665,  Benedicta,  and 
ihad  three  or  more  children,  one  of  them,  James,  b.  Apr.  5,  1673;  m.  Nov.  9,  1693,

Julia  Pancost  Sage,  b.  June  14,  1845.  There  are  many  men  whose  pro- 
fessional ability  is  considerable;  and  with  that  their  usefulness  and  in- 
terest to  other  people  end.  While,  as  a  surgeon,  Dr.  Wm.  M.  L. 
Fiske  stands  among  the  few  leading  homeopathic  physicians  of  New  York 
which  he  lives.  For  more  than  twenty-five  years  Dr.  Fiske  has  been  in  active  prac- 
tice in  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  and  in  that  time  he  has  been  president  of  the  New  York 
State  Homeopathic  Medical  Society  and  the  Kings  County  Homeopathic  Medical 
Society.  He  was  one  of  the  founders  and  organizers  of  the  Brooklyn  Homeo- 
pathic Hospital  and  the  Brooklyn  (E.  D.)  Homeopathic  Dispensary,  and  he  is  ex- 
medical  director  of  tEe  former  and  consulting  surgeon  and  trustee  of  the  latter, 
and  consulting  surgeon  to  the  Memorial  Hospital,  besides  being  connected  with 
a  large  number  of  benevolent  institutions  of  the  city. 

Dr.  Fiske  was  born  in  New  York  City  in  1841.  His  father  was  Almond  D. 
Fiske,  a  well  known  inventor  and  manufacturer.  He  was  a  member  of  an  old  New 
England  family,  and  through  him  Dr.  Fiske  is  a  direct  descendant  of  Phineas 
Fiske,  who  came  to  America  in  one  of  the  first  four  ships  that  brought  the  New 
England  colonists,  and  settled  Wenham,  Mass.  His  ancestor,  Symond  Fiske,  was 
Lord  of  the  Manor  of  Shadhaugh,  Suffolk,  up  to  the  time  of  the  Wars  of  the 
Roses.  Edward,  second  son  of  Dr.  John,  son  of  Phineas  Fiske,  the  direct  an- 
cestor of  Dr.  Fiske,  lived  at  the  old  homestead  at  Wenham,  and  died  there  in  1748. 
It  is  a  fact  worth  notice  that  the  first  four  graduates  of  Yale  were  descended  from 
this  Dr.  John  Fiske.  His  grandson  and  Dr.  W.  M.  L.  Fiske's  great-grandfather, 
Ichabod  Ebenezer  Fiske,  graduated  from  Yale  in  1770,  and  became  a  preacher  and 
scholar  of  some  note.  Dr.  Fiske's  mother  was  Phoebe  Ann  Raymond,  daughter  of 
Harvey  Raymond,  who  moved  to  New  York  from  Albany  in  1830. 

Dr.  Fiske  prepared  for  college  at  Champlain  Academy,  New  York,  and  gradu- 
ated from  the  Bellevue  Medical  College  in  1863.  Owing  to  a  promise  that  he 
would  investigate  homeopathy,  he  afterward  attended  the  New  York  Homeopathic 
Medical  College,  and  thus  he  twice  received  the  degree  of  M.  D.  He  has  also 
received  the  degree  from  the  New  York  Board  of  Regents,  which  was  until  re- 
cently conferred  annually  upon  one  prominent  member  of  the  State  Medical 
Society. 

Soon  after  the  war  Dr.  Fiske  undertook  the  practice  of  medicine  at  Aurora, 
111.,  and  later  at  Rochester,  N.  Y.  He  entered  into  partnership  in  1870  with  his  old 
preceptor,  Dr.  Albert  Wright,  and  after  the  latter's  death  continued  the  increasing 
practice.  Dr.  Fiske  is  the  author  of  a  number  of  monographs  on  Surgery,  pub- 
lished in  the  "Transactions  of  the  State  and  County  Medical  Societies."  He  has 
given  much  attention  to  the  study  of  heredity,  not  only  in  diseases  but  in  mental 
traits,  and  his  semi-annual  address  as  president  of  the  State  Society,  in  which  he 
advocated  the  enforced  celibacy  of  confirmed  criminals,  aroused  marked  attention

and  keen  discussion.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that  his  medical  practice  prevents  more 
active  advocacy  of  his  advanced  ideas  on  this  important  subject. 

Dr.  Fiske  is  a  Repubhcan  and  a  member  of  the  Union  League,  Crescent,  West 
Hampton  Country,  Lake  Champlain  Yacht,  Hanover  and  New  Manhattan  Clubs. 

In  1865  he  married  Miss  Julia  P.  Sage,  of  Rochester.  Of  his  three  sons,  two 
are  graduates  of  Columbia  and  the  second  is  about  to  become  the  fifth  of  the  family 
to  represent  his  generation  in  the  profession  of  medicine.  In  spite  of  his  incessant 
work  Dr.  Fiske  knows  how  to  thoroughly  enjoy  the  comforts  of  life,  and  his  hos- 
pitable home  is  filled  with  objects  of  art  that  he  has  collected.  His  only  vacation 
this  summer  was  a  flying  trip  to  Europe  to  attend  a  patient  there. 

In  1862  he  enlisted  in  Company  A,  of  the  Forty-seventh  Regiment  New  York 
State  Militia,  as  a  private  soldier.  After  a  month's  service  in  the  ranks  he  was 
appointed  by  General  Morris  as  steward  in  the  convalescent  hospital,  at  Fort  Mc- 
Henry,  and  a  few  weeks  later  was  promoted  to  acting  assistant  post  surgeon,  in 
charge  of  the  post  hospital,  and  served  in  that  capacity  until  the  expiration  of  the 
regiment's  service;  he  then  returned  to  Brooklyn,  continued  his  studies  at  Bellevue 
Medical  College,  and  was  graduated  in  1863.  After  a  few  months  in  private  prac- 
tice he  again  entered  the  service  as  acting  assistant  surgeon  and  remained  until  the 
close  of  the  war.     Res.  484  Bedford  Ave.,  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.

at  the  Polytechnic  Institute  of  that  city  and  entered  Columbia 
College  in   1886.     He  graduated  from  the   latter  institution   in 
1890.     During  his  course  he  was  active  in  the  general  work  of 
the   college,    ranking  high   in   his   studies   throughout   all   four 
years,    receiving   several   honors,   including  the   scholarship   in 
Greek.     He  was  president  of  the  Barnard  Literary  Society,  the 
leading  organization  of  its  kind  in  the  university,  and  an  editor 
of    the    Columbiad,    the    junior    publication,    besides    holding 
several  offices  in  his  class.     He  was  a  leading  member  of  the 
D.  K.  E.  fraternity  and,  when  graduated,  became  a  member  of 
I.  B.  K.     After  graduation  he  traveled  in  Europe  for  further 
study  and  recreation,   and   on   his   return   in    1891    entered  the 
banking  and  commission  house  of  J.  M.  Ceballos  &  Co.,  New 
York  City,  with  which  firm  he  is  still  connected.     A  member 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  he  is  identified  with  Y.  M.  C.  A.

entered  Columbia  College.     Throughout  his  course  he  received 
many  honors  because  of  high  scholarship,  notably  in  winning 
the  prize  in  physics.     He  was  president  of  the  Barnard   Lit-

tions of  class  distinction,  and  on  graduation  was  made  a  mem- 
ber of  I.  B.  K.     He  was  also  prominently  connected  with  the 
D.  K.  E.  fraternity.     In  1892  he  entered  the  New  York  Home- 
opathic Medical  College,   graduating  in   1895,  securing  at  that 
time  the  faculty  prize  for  leading  scholarship  of  his  class  during 
his  three  years'  course  and  the  alumni  prize  for  the  foremost 
student    of   the    senior   year.     He    was    also    valedictorian,    the 
commencement    orator    and     senior     president     of     his     class.

His  early  education  was  received  in  the  district  schools.  He  was  thoroughly 
grounded  in  the  principles  of  agriculture  by  his  father  who  cultivated  vast  farms. 
To  complete  John's  education  a  short  time  was  spent  at  Cazenovia  Seminary, 
which  plan  the  father  did  not  approve,  as  he  believed  all  knowledge  could  be 
gained  by  observation  and  practice,  and  as  he  wanted  his  son  to  be  a  farmer, 
time  at  school  was  thrown  away.  At  the  age  of  21  John  married.  One  of  the 
numerous  farms  was  settled  upon  John  at  his  marriage.  The  old  Ford  house  on 
the  Ford  farm  became  the  home  of  John  and  his  lovely  wife.  After  the  father's 
death  in  Mar.,  1866,  John  came  into  possession  of  the  old  Fiske  homestead  where 
he  now  resides  and  the  Blair  farm.  John  has  been  a  very  successful  farmer;  he 
has  expended  vast  sums  of  money  in  his  buildings.  He  rebuilt  the  old  house, 
tore  down  the  old  barns  and  built  a  very  large  modern  barn  instead,  with  accom- 
modations for  fifty  head  of  cattle  as  well  as  eight  horses.  Two  large  hop  kilns 
were  built  with  accommodation  for  curing  fifty  thousand  pounds  of  hops.  John 
has  made  a  thorough  study  of  the  cultivation  of  small  fruits.  One  year  he  mar- 
keted one  hundred  bushels  of  strawberries.  He  has  also  gone  into  grape  culture. 
He  has  a  fine  vineyard"  containing  over  seven  hundred  vines.  This  present  year 
he  will  market  three  thousand  pounds  of  grapes.  He  has  a  fine  cherry  and  pear 
orchard  started.  The  subject  of  our  sketch  is  an  active  member  of  the  Congrega- 
tional Church.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Grangers'  Lodge,  of  the  Equitable  Aid 
Union  and  of  the  Free  Mason's  Lodge.  He  is  regarded  by  all  who  know  him

acknowledged  fact  that  the  club  has  done  a  vast  amount  of 
good.  The  subject  of  this  sketch  is  also  interested  in  a  boys' 
club,  whose  object  is  the  same  as  the  girls,  i.  e.,  the  greatest 
possible  development  of  character.  She  helped  organize  the 
club  and  directed  the  drawing  up  of  the  by-laws.  She  is  also 
a  member  of  an  association  whose  aim  is  to  found  a  home  for

Mass.,  b.  1833.  She  res.  5  3  E. 
8th  St.,  South  Boston.  Mass.  He 
was  born  near  Battleboro,  Vt. ; 
was  well  educated;  fitted  for  col- 
lege, and  it  was  his  father's  wish 
that  he  should  enter  "Williams," 
but  all  his  tastes  were  for  busi- 
ness, and  after  traveling  with  his 
father  a  year  he  went  to  Jordan 
&  Marsh  (Mr.  Jordan  being  a 
friend  of  his  father's)  as  a  clerk. 
The  second  year  he  did  so  well 
and  had  so  many  original  ideas 
that  Tie  was  taken  into  the  firm 
as  an  equal  partner.  Later  he 
went  to  New  York  Citv.  and  for 
a  time  was  the  leading  financier 
in  that  city,  being  largely  inter- 
ested with  Jay  Gould  in  the  Erie 
Railway,  until  he  was  murdered 
by   Stokes  in   1872. 

A  person  who  knew  him  inti- 
mately writes  as  follows:  "He 
never  drank.  On  the  contrary, 
he  was  elegant  in  manner,  gentle 
and  courtly,  and  had  the  most  gen- 
erous, unselfish  heart  of  any  per- 
son I  ever  knew.  Hewas  very  fond 
of  dress  and  display,  but  never  of 
the  vulgar  sort;  he  had  no  low 
tastes  and  (like  his  father)  was  al- 
ways temperate.  I  have  often 
heard  him  say:  'Well,  you  may 
drink  the  wine  if  it  pleases  you,  but  give  me  my  little  cup  of  tea.'  He  was  very 
fond  of  tea,  and  when  he  had  any  great  'deal'  (as  he  was  wont  to  call  it)  on  the 
tapis,  he  would  drink  quantities  of  tea.  He  was  the  man  who  planned  a  great  deal 
of  the  business  for  himself  and  Jay  Gould  when  they  were  together.  Mr.  Gould 
was  delicate  and  small  while  Mr.  Fisk  was  the  perfection  of  manly  health  and 
beauty.  I  have  often  heard  him  tell  Mr.  Gould  to  'jump  over  in  the  sugar  bowl 
and  take  a  nap  and  let  me  do  the  hard  work.'  Every  one  who  knew  him  loved 
him;  he  had  the  happiest,   sweetest,  and  most  unsuspicious  disposition   God  ever

gave  to  any  living  man.  The  day  he  was  murdered  by  Stokes  a  friend  went  to  him 
and  said,  '  Fisk,  you  will  gain  your  suit  today  (he  had  a  suit  against  Stokes  for 
$60,000,  money  he  had  loaned  him),  but  do  I  pray  you  look  out  for  Stokes  for  he 
is  a  bad  one.'  Fisk  replied:  '  Oh!  no,  you  are  mistaken;  he  would  no  more  harm 
me  than  I  would  him.'  After  Fisk's  death  his  father  was  ill  for  a  year;  in  fact 
insane,  made  so  by  the  shock  of  his  death.  He  (his  father)  was  walking  up  Broad- 
way and  heard  the  news  from  boys  crying  it  in  the  street.  He  fell  unconscious 
and  remained  so  twenty-four  hours.  He  never  saw  his  dearly  loved  boy  again; 
he  recovered  his  mind  but  his  health  never."  He  d.  s.  p.  Jan.  7,  1872;  res.  New

Symond),  b.  New  Brunswick,  N.  J.,  May  13,  1845;  m.  there  Mar.  5,  1865,  Mary 
Elizabeth  Houghton,  b.  Mar.  5,  1843.  W.  H.  Fisk,  Jr.,  was  educated  in  private 
and  public  schools  in  New  Brunswick,  N.  J.,  and  after  clerking  in  New  York  for 
half  a  dozen  years  returned  home  and  took  a  position  in  a  wholesale  liquor  house 
as  bookkeeper  and  head  salesman.  In  1884  he  became  reporter  and  afterward 
assistant  editor  of  the  Times,  the  leading  Democratic  paper  in  Middlesex  County, 
N.  J.,  and  for  a  year  or  more — while  Mr.  A.  E.  Gordon,  the  proprietor,  was  United 
States  Marshal,  and  afterward  when  he  had  a  paralytic  stroke — wrote  all  the 
editorials  and  did  all  the  local  work  besides,  sometimes  working  twenty  hours  a 
day  and  seldom  less  than  fourteen.  On  one  occasion  he  went  sixty  hours  with 
only  a  couple  of  hours'  sleep,  and  covered  a  report  of  a  trip  to  Trenton  and  Bucks 
County,  Pennsylvania,  and  an  excursion  of  a  local  order  to  Keyport,  getting  up 
the  editorials  and  most  of  the  local  matter  besides.  Singularly  the  work  seemed 
to  do  him  good,  as  he  felt  no  fatigue  and  did  not  miss  the  loss  of  sleep.  On  one 
occasion,  in  1887,  he  reported  the  proceedings  of  the  State  convention  of  the 
Knights  of  Pythias,  there  being  over  nine  hundred  delegates  present  and  wrote  the 
matter  out  in  full  while  doing  so  in  order  to  gain  time  to  do  other  work.  On  his 
return  home  he  found  the  report  had  been  lost,  but,  nothing  daunted,  sat  down  and 
rewrote  the  matter  while  it  was  fresh  in  his  memory.  He  was  highly  congratu- 
lated by  many  of  the  Knights  who  knew  of  the  loss  of  the  papers.  In  1889  he 
started  the  first  and  only  Sunday  paper  in  New  Brunswick  or  the  county,  or  rather 
purchased  the  plant  after  it  had  run  six  months  and  was  about  to  be  discontinued. 
He  ran  this  paper  until  the  summer  of  1895,  when  he  stopped  its  publication,  owing 
to  a  variety  of  causes,  principally  of  a  political  nature.  It  was  an  independent 
paper  but  with   Democratic  tendencies;   res.   New  Brunswick,   N.  J. 

5981.  iii.       CHARLES,  b.  Mar.  16,  1868.     He  was  born  in  New  Brunswick, 

N.  J.,  and  received  his  preliminary  education  in  the  public 
schools,  graduating  in  1884,  with  high  honors  from  the  high 
school.  While  in  the  latter  school  he  did  some  newspaper 
work  on  The  Times,  and  continued  it  for  some  time  as  city 
editor,  until  he  went  to  study  law  in  the  office  of  Arnoux,  Ritch 
&  Woodford,  in  New  York  City.  He  was  also  in  Judge 
Cowenhoven's  office.  The  study  of  law  did  not  suit  him  and 
he  returned  to  his  first  love  and  became  city  editor  on  the 
Home  News.  In  1889  he  entered  St.  Stephen's  College  at  An- 
nandale,  N.  Y.,  taking  a  special  course  with  the  idea  of  entering 
the  Episcopal  ministry,  and  during  the  three  years'  course  took 
all  the  first  prizes  and  was  congratulated  publicly  by  one  of  the 
most  eminent  preachers  in  the  country.  In  1893  he  entered 
the  General  Theological  Seminar\-  in  New  York  City,  and 
took  the  prize  for  an  essay,  two  hundred  college  students  com-

peting.  He  also  gained  a  scholarship  but  did  not  accept  it, 
and  has  stood  at  the  head  of  all  the  classes  he  has  entered. 
During  the  second  and  third  years  of  his  course  he  acted  as  lay- 
reader,  and  by  special  permission  wrote  his  own  sermons  and 
had  charge  of  a  church  in  Rahwa}-,  N.  J.,  in  1895.  This  he 
gave  up  in  the  fall  and  took  charge  of  a  Sunday  school  in  New 
York  City  in  the  morning  and  another  in  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.  He 
graduate  in  June,  1896,  and  his  friends  predict  a  brilliant 
future  for  him.  His  law  and  newspaper  work  has  been  of 
great  benefit  to  him  in  his  new  sphere.  He  is  a  ready  writer 
and  a  good  speaker,  is  very  afifable  in  manners  and  makes 
friends  easily.

Old  Rutgers  College  has  sent  but  few  of  her  sons  to  the  metropolis,  but  the 
proportion  of  those  who  have  mapped  out  their  life  work  and  attained  success 
there  is  very  large  in  comparison  with  that  of  other  colleges.  Haley  Fiske's  rise 
in  reputation  and  prosperity  has  been  a  continuous  one  since  the  day  of  his  gradu- 
ation at  Rutgers  in  1871.  He  was  born  in  New  Brunswick,  N.  J.,  Mar.  18,  1852. 
His  parents,  Wm.  H.  and  Sarah  H.  Fiske,  were  born  in  Yonkers  and  New  York 
City  respectively,  and  settled  for  a  time  in  New  Brunswick,  where  Mr.  Fiske  was 
prepared  for  college  in  the  school  of  Henry  Waters,  afterward  well  known  as  the 
Poughkeepsie  school  master.  While  in  college  Mr.  Fiske  was  a  member  of  the 
Philoclean  Literary  Society  and  the  fraternity  of  Delta  Phi.  After  leaving  college 
he  tried  journalism  for  a  year  or  two  and  then  studied  law  with  the  firm  of  Arnoux, 
Ritch  &  Woodford,  in  which  firm  he  subsequently  became  a  partner.  He  re- 
mained such  until  his  election  as  vice-president  of  the  Metropolitan  Life  Insurance 
Company,  in  Oct.,  1891.  He  had  previously  for  many  years  had  special  charge  of 
the  legal  business  of  that  corporatioti.  During  his  career  as  a  lawyer  he  was  en- 
gaged in  many  notable  cases,  the  last  of  which,  just  before  his  retirement,  being  the 
Fayerweather  Will  contest.  He  was  largely  concerned  in  the  settlement  of  the 
probate  contest,  culminating  in  the  deed  of  gift  by  which  so  many  colleges 
throughout  the  country  were  benefited.  In  the  present  suits  over  this  settlement, 
in  which  five  colleges  appear  as  plaintiffs,  Mr.  Fiske  represents  Yale  University 
and  Rutgers  College,  defending  the  will  and  the  settlement.  Mr.  Fiske  is  a  di- 
rector in  and  counsel  for  the  Duluth  Manufacturing  Company, the  Iron  Car  Equip- 
ment Company,  treasurer  of  the  church  of  St.  Mary  the  Virgin,  in  West  45th  Street, 
now  become  a  wealthy  corporation,  and  is  vice-president  of  the  Metropolitan  Life 
Insurance  Company.  This  company  stood  second  among  the  great  companies  in 
the  successful  pursuit  of  business  during  the  last  fiscal  year,  and  is  now  housed  in 
its  new  building  at  23d  Street  and  Madison  Avenue,  a  model  of  simplicity  and 
elegance,  built  at  a  cost  of  nearly  $2,000,000  by  Napoleon  Le  Brun,  the  architect. 
He  is  a  member  of  the  Players',  Grolier,  Church  and  Delta  Phi  clubs  and  of  the 
Bar  Association.  In  politics  he  is  allied  to  the  Democratic  party.  It  would  be 
difficult  to  find  in  the  whole  range  of  the  New  York  College  Alumni  Associations 
a  more  genial,  delightful  companion  of  equal  ability.  He  is  endowed  by  nature 
with  those  traits  that  make  leaders  among  men;  res.  i  Madison  Ave.,  New  York,

Stella  A.  Martindale,  b.  Sept.  24,  1858.  Calvin  R.  Fisk,  M.  D.,  son  of  Joseph  W. 
and  Rhoda  E.  (Strickland)  Fisk,  was  born  in  Springville  Township,  Susquehanna 
Co.,  Pa.  He  is  the  fourth  son  of  a  family  of  twelve  children.  His  eldest  brother 
died  in  early  infancy.  There  are  still  living  six  brothers  and  one  sister  of  this 
large  family,  two  sisters  and  three  brothers  with  the  parents  having  passed  on  to 
that  unknown  life,  of  which  we  hear  so  much  and  know  so  little.  At  about  the 
close  of  the  Civil  War,  in  1865,  his  parents  moved  from  Pennsylvania  to  Illinois 
and  located  on  a  farm  in  Whiteside  Co.  Here  the  young  doctor  had  the  benefit 
of  a  country  school  in  the  winter  and  worked  on  the  farm  in  the  summer.  In 
some  mysterious  manner  he  managed  to  get  education  enough  so  that  he  passed 
an  examination  and  obtained  a  teacher's  certificate  and  began  teaching  school  in 
1875.  The  following  summer  he  visited  his  old  home  in  Pennsylvania,  and  went 
on  to  Philadelphia  to  the  Centennial  Exposition,  where  he  remained  about  two 
weeks.  From  there  he  went  to  Washington  and  visited  the  White  House.  Re- 
turning from  Washington  to  Sterling,  111.,  he  attended  the  teachers'  normal 
school  and  received  his  degree  in  the  form  of  a  first  grade  certificate  for  teaching

of  1878  he  went  west  and  spent  a  part  of  two  years  in  Kansas  and  Nebraska. 
He  was  united  in  marriage  to  Stella  A.  Martindale  in  Morrison,  Whiteside  Co., 
111.,  soon  after  locating  in  Iowa.  In  1882  he  moved  to  Keokuk,  la.,  and  attended 
lectures  at  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  and  received  the  degree  of  M.  D. 
on  Feb.  26,  1884.  Politically  he  has  always  voted  with  the  reform  movement  on 
national  questions,  casting  his  first  presidential  vote  for  Peter  Cooper.  He  was 
selected      as      a      delegate-at-large      to      the     National      Convention        held    in

mitted to  practice,  and  has  been  in  active  practice  ever  since.  In  1889  he  re- 
moved to  Grand  Forks  and  entered  into  partnership  with  Tracy  R.  Bangs, 
under  the  firm  name  of  Bangs  &  Fisk,  and  their  law  business  has  been  steadily 
increasing  until  their  practice  is  now  one  of  the  largest  in  the  State.  Two  years 
ago  he  was  appointed  as  a  member  of  a  commission  to  revise,  codify  and  com- 
pile the  laws  of  this  State  into  seven  codes.  The  work  has  recently  been  completed

b.  Marlboro,  Conn.,  June  6,  1857;  m.  Charlton,  Mass.,  Nov.  25,  1880,  Lida  R.  Sey- 
mour, b.  Mar.  26,  1856.  William  was  born  in  Marlboro,  Conn.,  June  26,  1857,  the 
youngest  of  four  children.  His  father  was  a  Congregational  minister,  and  his 
mother  daughter  of  a  Congregational  minister.  He  was  therefore  carefully  reared 
and  instructed  in  the  Bible  and  catechism,  and  was  peculiarly  sensitive  to  and  re- 
ceptive of  religious  impressions.  Failing  health  led  his  father  six  years  later  to  a 
farm  in  East  Haddam,  Conn.,  where  William  was  taught  at  home  by  his  mother. 
For  reading  the  Bible  through  in  course  when  eight  years  old  he  was  given  his 
first  Bible  by  his  mother.  The  following  year  he  united  with  the  Congregational 
Church  in  Colchester,  Conn.,  whither  the  family  moved  to  educate  the  children  at 
Bacon  Academy.  In  1869  he  went  to  Wolcott,  Conn.,  for  three  years,  going  to 
school  winters  and  working  on  a  farm  summers.  In  1872  the  family  removed  to 
Charlton,  Mass..  when  he  went  to  Wilbraham  to  prepare  at  Wesleyan  Academy 
to  enter  the  senior  class  of  the  scientific  course  in  Williston  Seminary,  Easthamp- 
ton,  Mass.,  graduating  second  in  the  class  June  16,  1875.  His  first  venture  in  busi- 
ness life  was  rewarded  with  fine  success  as  general  agent  for  New  England  of  a 
firm  in  Bogota,  South  America.  He  represented  the  same  firm  at  the  Centennial 
in  Philadelphia,  1876,  and  there  first  met  the  young  lady  from  Ohio,  who  subse- 
quently became  his  wife.  Visiting  Baltimore  in  1877,  he  became  acquainted  with 
Mr.  Henry  W.  Eastman,  an  inventor  and,  a  resident  of  Baltimore.  With  him  he 
entered  into  partnership  for  the  general  introduction  throughout  the  country  of 
Eastman's  Alterable  Church  Registers,  a  convenient  directory  of  church  services 
for  hotels  and  public  buildings.  On  Nov.  25,  1880,  at  Charlton,  Mass.,  he  married 
Miss  Lida  Robertson  Seymour,  of  Oberlin,  Ohio.  Their  first  settlement  and  ex- 
perience in  housekeeping  was  in  Cleveland,  Ohio,  during  the  summer  of  1881. 
Finding  the  location  unsuited  to  the  best  interests  of  the  national  character  of  the 
firm's  business,  Mr.  Fiske  decided,  after  visiting  Washington,  Baltimore,  New 
York  and  Philadelphia  to  locate  permanently  in  Philadelphia,  which  he  did  in  Jan., 
1882.  The  following  May  his  first  child,  a  son,  was  born  who  died  the  following 
November  and  was  laid  to  rest  in  the  family  lot  in  Southington,  Conn.,  on  Thanks- 
giving day.  In  1883  he  bought  out  the  interest  of  Mr.  Eastman,  of  Baltimore,  in 
the  firm  of  Eastman  &  Fiske  and  continued  the  business  and  manufacture  of  hotel 
church  directories  under  his  own  name  as  publisher.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Fiske  on  making 
their  home  in  Philadelphia  at  once  identified  themselves  with  the  Northminster 
Presbyterian  Church,  of  which  ]\Ir.  Fiske  was  chosen  a  ruling  elder  in  1887,  and  has 
held  this  office  for  the  past  nine  years;  res  3319  Hamilton  St.,  Philadelphia,  Pa.

his  death  by  drowning  at  Manasquan,  N.  J.  The  party  which 
included  Mrs.  Willard  Fiske  and  two  sons  set  out  for  the  beach 
late  in  the  afternoon  to  enjoy  their  daily  bath.  The  bathing 
grounds  are  near  the  Manasquan  Inlet,  and  the  tides  create  a 
current  that  at  times  is  exceedingly  dangerous.  After  disrob- 
ing at  the  bath  houses  the  party  walked  down  to  the  surf,  and 
Mrs.  Fisk  and  her  two  sons,  Harrison  Otis  and  Clinton,  en- 
tered the  water.  The  others  of  the  party  came  in  a  few  min- 
utes later.  All  were  bathing,  as  they  thought,  at  a  safe  distance 
from  the  beach,  and  all  went  well,  when  a  cry  was  heard  for 
help.  It  was  noticed  that  Harrison  had  ventured  out  beyond 
his  depth  and  was  struggling  in  the  water.  The  little  fellow's 
cries  seemed  to  create  a  panic  among  the  bathers.  The  elder 
son,  Clinton,  rushed  to  his  brother's  rescue,  and  it  seemed  that 
he,  too,  had  gone  beyond  his  depth  and  was  in  danger.  At 
this  instant  all  the  ladies  in  the  party  seemed  to  realize  the 
danger  to  the  boys  and  all  appeared  to  rush  headlong  into  the 
foamy  billows.  In  the  excitement  there  were  noticed  two  or 
three  heavy  cross  seas  racing  up  and  down  and  a  whirl  in  the 
foam  that  told  the  startled  onlookers  that  the  party  was  in  the 
midst  of  a  deadly  whirlpool.  Mrs.  Fisk  was  seen  floundering 
about  in  the  water,  and  the  young  women  made  an  attempt  to 
reach  her,  but  they  were  engulfed  in  the  swiftly  flowing  tide 
and  drowned.  Some  strollers  on  the  beach  made  an  effort  to 
rescue  the  drowing  women,  but  they  only  succeeded  in  bring- 
ing Mrs.  Fisk  to  shore.  She  was  unconscious,  and  was  resus- 
citated with  difficulty.  The  bodies  of  the  other  two  women 
were  recovered,  but  young  Fisk's  body  was  carried  out  to  sea.

b.  New  York  City,  Jiily  30,  1861;  m.  Mar.  19,  1890,  Minnie  Maddern.  Mrs.'  Fiske 
began  to  star  at  15.  If  ever  the  American  stage  had  a  veritable  enfant  de  la 
balle  in  its  history  that  child  was  Minnie  Maddern.  Born  of  professional  parents 
— for  her  mother,  Lizzie  Maddern,  was  an  actress,  and  her  father,  Tom  Davies, 
the  pioneer  circuit  manager  of  the  west— she  was  literally  cradled  in  the  theater, 
reared  in  the  glare  of  the  footlights,  inoculated  from  her  birth  with  the  atmos- 
phere of  the  theater  and  a  mistress  of  the  secrets  of  the  playhouse  even  while  her 
baby  tongue  could  not  yet  distinctly  speak  her  native  language.  By  parent- 
age she  is  English.  Her  maternal  grandmother  was  a  girl  of  good  family,  who, 
while  still  in  her  teens,  eloped  with  her  music  master,  a  proceeding  frowned  up- 
on by  the  family,  who  at  once  cast  her  off.  Being  very  much  enamored  of  her  music 
lover,  this  did  not  trouble  her  at  all,  and  the  young  people  proceeded  to  be  happy 
on  nothing  a  year  and  to  raise  a  large  family.  When  the  children  were  seven 
they  thought  of  America  as  more  roomy  than  England  for  a  family  that  increased 
so  rapidly,  and  they  emigrated.  All  the  children  were  musical,  so  the  father 
formed  a  concert  company,  in  which  each  of  the  youngsters  played  some  in- 
strument, and  Lizzie  Maddern  (afterward  the  mother  of  Minnie),  in  a  high  comb

and  queer  pantalettes,  at  the  age  of  12, 
was  the  first  cornet  of  the  strolling  band, 
it  is  a  tradition  in  the  family  that  Lizzie 
Maddern  at  that  age  could  score  the 
music  for  t!ie  orchestra,  and  did  it.  The 
Maddern  family  produced  quite  a  num- 
ber of  respectable  actors  and  actresses, 
while  Tom  Davies,  who  married  Lizzie 
Maddern,  is  well  remembered  by  those 
posted  on  theatrical  affairs.  He  was  a 
small,  red-haired  man  of  a  temper  as 
violent  as  his  mind  was  erratic,  and  his 
escapades  and  his  eccentricities  were  in 
his  time  the  topic  of  many  a  strolling 
tale.  Minnie  Maddern  inherited  her 
father's  red  hair  and  something  of  his 
temperament.  She  began  her  profes- 
sional career  at  the  age  of  3.  At  the  age 
of  14  she  had  drifted  into  comic  opera. 
At  the  age  of  15  she  became  the  star 
of  a  lurid  melodrama.  At  the  time  the 
writer  first  saw  her  she  was  a  slight  girl, 
with  the  daintiest  of  hands  and  feet,  and 
as  sweet  a  voice  as  ever  spoke  across 
the  footlights.  She  was  a  creature  of 
suggestions,  an  unearthly  sort  of  a  girl, 
with  her  tousled  red  hair,  her  white  face, 
her  thin,  nervous  lips  and  her  deep  gray 
eyes.  But  she  was  only  a  girl,  more  re- 
markable for  what  she  might  become 
than  for  what  she  was.  Her  youth,  her  red  hair,  her  dainty,  girlish  figure  had  sug- 
gested to  a  manager  that  here  might  be  another  mintmaker — another  Lotta. 
l>Iow,  the  antipodes  are  not  wider  apart  than  Minnie  Maddern  and  Lotta,  but 
the  mistake  was  made  and  she  was  started  wrong  in  her  career.  In  her  unde- 
veloped mind  were  only  dim  ideas  of  her  future,  and  so  she  drifted  on  the  way 

that  others  marked  out  for  her,  doing  the 
work  allotted  for  her,  indifferently  going 
from  one  trifling  play  to  another,  perhaps 
dimly  conscious  of  the  mistake  that  had 
been  made,  possibly  as  dimly  conscious 
that  time  alone  would  remedy  the  blunder, 
A  brief  review  of  Mrs.  Fiske's  more  im- 
portant associations  will  interest  even  the 
casual  friend  of  the  stage.  She  played 
the  round  of  child's  parts  with  Barry  Sul- 
livan, and  later  with  Lucille  Western. 
She  was  the  original  Little  Fritz  in  J. 
K.  Emmet's  first  productions  at  Wal- 
lack's  and  Niblo's;  she  appeared  with 
Laura  Keene  in  "Hunted  Down"  during 
the  New  York  run  of  that  play;  she  ap- 
peared as  Prince  Arthur  in  the  notable 
revival  of  "King  John"  at  Booth's  The- 
ater, with  John  McCullough,  J.  B. 
Booth  and  Agnes  Booth;  as  Paul  in 
"The  Octoroon;"  as  Franko  in  "Guy

of  "The  Ice  Witch,"  and  she  also  appeared  in  "Aladdin,"  "The  White  Fawn,"  and 
other  spectacular  pieces.  Mrs.  Fiske  is  a  woman  of  intensely  active  intellectuality 
and  her  five  years  of  comparative  seclusion  have  been  fruitful  in  more  ways 
than  one. 

Harrison  Grey  Fiske,  the  editor  and  proprietor  of  The  Mirror,  was  born  in 
Harrison,  Westchester  County,  N.  Y.  He  attended  private  schools  in  New  York, 
studied  music  and  the  languages  for  several  years,  acquired  a  knowledge  of  elo- 
cution and  rhetoric  from  the  late  George  Vandenhofif.  when  abroad,  was  prepared 
for  college  by  a  tutor,  and  finally  entered  the  New  York  University.  His  tastes 
were  essentially  literary  and  artistic,  and  during  his  stay  at  college  he  wrote  many 
sketches  and  short  stories  for  the  newspapers,  and  sent  New  York  letters  regularly 
to  several  southern  and  western  dailies.  He  held  his  first  staff  position  on  the 
Jersey  City  Argus,  writing  editorials  and  dramatic  criticisms.  In  July,  1879, 
he  became  attached  to  The  Mirror,  as  a  special  contributor,  and  in  the  fall  of  the 
same  year  bought  an  interest  in  the  stock  company  that  then  owned  it.  The  fol- 
lowing winter  Mr.  Fiske  was  selected  by  the  company  to  take  editorial  charge. 
He  was  18  years  of  age  at  the  time,  the  youngest  editor  in  the  country.  In  spite 
of  his  youth  he  conceived  and  adopted  a  sagacious,  independent  and  vigorous  pol- 
icy which  speedily  put  The  Mirror  in  the  van  of  stage  journals,  bringing  it  influ- 
ence, prosperity  and  the  largest  circulation  ever  achieved  by  any  dramatic  paper 
in  the  world.  Five  years  ago  Mr.  Fiske  obtained  a  controlling  interest  in  The  Mir- 
ror, but  from  the  day  he  took  charge  of  its  destinies  he  had  enjoyed  sole  power, 
acting  upon  such  advice  as  commended  itself  to  his  judgment,  but  brooking  no 
interference  from  stockholders  or  others  in  respect  to  the  lines  of  his  own 
journalistic  policy.  Last  May  he  purchased  the  outstanding  shares  of  stock  and 
became  the  sole  and  responsible  proprietor.  Mr.  Fiske  does  a  vast  amount  of 
work  and  yet  is  accessible  to  a  large  number  of  visitors.  He  writes  the  editorials, 
the  principal  dramatic  criticisms,  "The  Usher,"  special  articles,  paragraphs — in 
fact,  his  busy  pen  contributes  to  almost  every  department  of  the  paper.  On  an 
average  he  turns  out  between  ten  and  twelve  columns  during  the  working  hours 
of  the  early  days  of  the  week.  In  addition  to  this  he  supervises  every  portion  of 
the  paper  and  keeps  a  strict  watch  on  every  line  that  goes  into  it.  This  latter  duty 
is  somewhat  unusual  among  editors,  but  Mr.  Fiske  realizes  the  importance  and 
never  neglects  it.  He  prefers  to  share  personal  knowledge  of  everything  that  he 
publishes  with  personal  responsibility  for  it.  And  he  likes  work.  For  the  past 
nine  years  he  has  never  been  absent  from  his  post  but  once.  On  that  occasion 
illness  confined  him  to  his  home  for  a  week.  Even  then,  however,  he  had  the 
"revises"  brought  to  him  and  with  the  aid  of  a  blue  pencil  transformed  the  sick 
chamber  into  a  sanctum.  At  difTerent  times  Mr.  Fiske  has  been  the  dramatic  critic 
of  two  New  York  daily  papers  and  written  editorials  for  another.  But  he  relin- 
quished outside  work  of  every  description  two  years  ago  in  order  to  devote  his 
whole  time  and  energies  to  The  Mirror.  He  is  a  member  of  the  New  York  Press 
Club,  the  Fellowcraft  Club,  a  yachting  association,  and  several  other  social  and 
literary  institutions,  but  the  only  organization  in  which  he  takes  an  active  personal 
interest  is  the  Actor's  Fund  of  America,  of  which  he  has  been  the  secretary  for  sev- 
eral years.     Res.  s.  p.  New  York,  N.  Y. ;  add.  1432  Broadway.

was  given  a  good  common  school  education  and  graduated  from  Cady's  Academy, 
in  the  town  of  Barrington,  R.  I.  He  entered  Brown  University  in  the  fall  of 
1875.  Owing  to  severe  illness,  on  completing  his  freshman  year  he  was  compelled 
to  leave  the  university.  He  engaged  as  clerk  for  two  years  with  the  Boston  & 
Philadelphia  S.  S.  Co.  In  Jan.,  1879,  he  accepted  a  position  with  the  Howard  Ster- 
ling Company,  silversmiths.  He  commenced  at  the  lowest  rung  of  the  ladder.  On 
Dec.  31,  1891,  he  was  promoted  as  secretary  of  the  company  above  mentioned, 
which  position  he  occupies.  While  in  Brown  University  he  was  first  tenor  in  the 
Glee  Club,  and  since  then  he  has  identified  himself  with  several  musical  organiza- 
tions in  Providence.  He  has  taken  the  role  of  the  "Captain"  in  Pinafore,  the 
"Major  General"  in  the  Pirates  of  Penzance,  and  the  "Marquis"  in  Chimes  of 
Normandy,  with  pronounced  success  in  the  Opera  House  of  this  city.  He  is  a 
Congregationalist  and  has  always  taken  an  active  part  in  church  work.  He  has 
a  pleasant  home  on  Waterman  Street,  where  with  wife  and  two  children  he  is  en-

remained  until  1865,  and  meantime  made  quite  a  little  fortune  in  the  grain  ware- 
housing business  and  otTier  ventures.  He  was  then  induced  to  come  east  and  to  go 
into  the  stock  market,  which  resulted  rather  badly.  Gradually  he,  being  a  stanch 
Republican,  became  more  or  less  prominent  in  political  life,  and  held  important 
governmental  positions  and  always  with  great  credit.  Under  President  Grant,  he 
was  United  States  Marshal  for  the  Southern  District  of  New  York,  succeeding 
Gen.  Geo.  H.  Sharpe.  His  methods  and  office  were  examined  by  a  Democratic 
State  Committee  and  the  result  was  a  testimonial  to  his  capability,  etc.,  from  the 
committee.  Some  years  after  this  he  was  sent  to  the  State  Legislature  as  member 
of  Assembly  from  Richmond  County,  which  is  noteworthy,  as  the  county  was 
then  ordinarily  Democratic,  by  twelve  hundred  to  sixteen  hundred  majority.  He

Nathan,  Nathan,  Nathaniel,  William,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Symond), 
b.  Weston,  Mass.,  Apr.  13,  1827;  m.  California,  Apr.  15,  i860,  Elizabeth  Wyne- 
koop,  b.^  Aug.  24,  1834.  He  was  born  in  Weston,  Apr.  13,  1827.  Like  all  New  England 
farmers'  boys  he  worked  on  the  farm  in  spring  and  summer  and  attended  the  dis- 
trict school  in  winter;  also  attended  the  high  school  in  Weston.  He  lived  two  and 
one-half  miles  from  the  high  school  in  Weston  Centre,  consequently  it  was  too  far 
to  walk,  and  with  three  or  four  sisters,  older  than  himself,  rode  to  school,  keep- 
ing horse  and  carriage  until  night  to  take  them  home.  He  afterward  attended 
Phillips  Academy  in  Andover.  He  has  a  vivid  recollection  of  going  from  there 
to  attend  the  Whig  celebration  at  Bunker  Hill  in  1844;  of  meeting  there  his  father 
and  brother  and  many  friends.  At  the  age  of  18  he  left  home  and  went  to  the  city 
of  Worcester  to  learn  a  trade,  that  of  working  in  sheet  metals.  He  spent  two 
years  there,  then  one  year  in  the  city  of  Nashua,  N.  H.,  after  that  one  year  in 
Clintonville,  and  the  balance  of  the  time,  until  going  to  California,  in  Boston, 
Waltham  and  Grafton.  In  185 1  his  brother  Edward  and  himself  made  arrange- 
ments to  go  to  California.  They  had  the  usual  experience  of  the  California 
bound  in  those  early  days.  That  is,  they  were  taken  up  the  Chargees  River  in 
boats  rowed  by  the  natives,  spent  one  night  at  Gorgona,  and  then  mounted  mules 
and  rode  to  Panama.  Here  they  found  no  boat  to  take  them  on  the  Pacific  side. 
They  remained  in  Panama  nearly  two  months  and  took  the  first  passage  that  could 
be  obtained  to  San  Francisco,  where  they  arrived  in  good  health  and  spirits. 
His  brother  Edward  went  up  to  the  mines  for  a  short  time  and  he  stopped 
in  Sacramento.  After  a  few  months  Edward  came  to  Sacramento  and  they  both 
went  to  San  Francisco,  where  they  succeeded  in  finding  employment  at  their 
trade,  which  they  followed  diligently  for  nearly  a  year,  then  commenced  busi- 
ness on  their  own  account.  This  business  was  continued  up  to  1891.  In  1856  he 
visited  his  old  home.  That  was  about  the  time  the  Free  Soil  party  was  started. 
Colonel  Fremont  was  at  that  time  in  San  Francisco,  and  they  became  acquainted 
with  him  and  Mrs.  Fremont  through  business  relations.  A  few  vears  after  his 
return  to  San  Francisco  he  chartered  a  large  schooner,  filled  her  with  goods  and 
shipped  them  to  Mexico.     He  spent  nearly  a  year  in  Mazatland,  Tepic,  San  Bias 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  587 


and  other  places  in  Mexico,  while  his  brother  attended  to  the  business  in  San 
Francisco.  He  returned  to  San  Francisco  about  the  time  of  the  breaking  out  of 
the  Civil  War,  and  shortly  thereafter  went  to  Virginia  City,  in  Nevada.  That  was 
not  long  after  the  Comstock  mines  were  discovered.  He  remained  there  twenty- 
one  months,  removed  his  family  there  and  built  a  house  for  them.  They  sent  over 
half  a  dozen  of  their  best  men  and  did  a  large  roofing  business  as  the  town  grew 
up.  Spent  much  time  also  in  mining  operations,  and  lost  a  large  amount^  of 
money  also  by  them.  Shortly  after  his  return  to  San  Francisco  his  brother  died, 
and  from  that  time  to  the  present  his  home  has  been  in  San  Francisco.  He  has 
done  an  extensive  business  on  that  coast,  extending  to  the  neighboring  States  and 
territories  and  employing  many  men.  The  season  that  the  Palace  Hotel  was  built 
they  had  in  ftieir  employ  over  175  men,  about  half  that  number  employed  on  that 
building.     Res.  710  Central  Ave.,  San  Francisco,  Cal.

Banks.  Returning  from  the  war  engaged  in  farming  with  his  father  till  1871,  when 
he  went  to  Boston  and  became  connected  with  James  Edmond  &  Co.  in  the  manu- 
facture of  fire  brick,  clay  retorts,  and  the  importation  of  sewer  pipe,  fire  brick,

Brick  Company.  The  Boston  Terra  Cotta  Company  was  also  organized,  Mr. 
Fiske  taking  the  treasurership  of  the  latter,  and  his  firm  the  management  of  both

5348.  MAJOR  WILBUR  DAVIS  FISKE  (Carlisle  A.,  Elias,  Simeon.  Henry, 
Nathan,  Nathan,  Nathan,  Nathaniel,  William,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William, 
Symond),  b.  Pleasant  Valley,  Conn.,  June  7,  1841;  m.  Feb.  i,  1866,  Agnes  Hosmer 
Andrews,  b.  Nov.  9,  1843.  Wilbur  Davis  Fiske,  born  in  Barkhampsted,  Conn., 
June  7,  1841,  and  lived  there,  and  at  Pleasant  Valley,  Conn.,  until  he  was  7  years 
old,  when  his  mother  died,  and  his  father  took  him  to  live  with  a  man  in  Pleasant 
Valley,  named  Closes.  Then,  about  one  year  after  that,  he  took  him  to  Springfield, 
Mass.,  and  in  a  short  time  to  Stafford,  Conn,  to  live  with  his  aunt,  Mary  E.  Cush- 
nian.  Some  time  after  this  his  father  married  again,  and  resided  at  Springfield. 
Wilbur  did  not  stay  long,  but  went  back  to  his  Aunt  ^Mary's.  He  stayed  there 
a  year  or  two,  and  worked  for  a  neighbor,  Mr.  Cummings.  Went  back  to 
Springfield  on  a  visit,  and  went  to  work  there  for  Edmund  Bigelow,  Esq.,  and 
was  with  him  three  or  four  years.  He  sent  him  to  school  winters  at  his  home 
in  Bennington,  Vt.,  and  he  lived  with  his  father,  Dr.  William  Bigelow,  one  of 
God's  noblemen.  In  the  fall  of  1857,  his  time  at  Springfield  had  expired  with  Ed- 
mund Bigelow,  and  he  made  arrangements  with  a  doctor  in  Pittsfield,  Mass.,  to 
go  there  and  study  medicine  under  him,  but  on  account  of  the  panic  of  1857  did  not 
go,  but  went  to  New  Britain,  Conn.,  with  Buckley  &  Newton,  to  learn  the  ma- 
chinist trade,  and  steam  and  hydraulic  engineering.  They  built  the  gas  works  and 
water  works  for  New  Britain,  and  did  work  all  about  that  section  of  country.  The 
war  broke  out;  he  was  then  first  assistant  engineer  of  the  New  Britain  fire  depart- 
ment; he  enlisted  and  helped  raise  a  company  for  the  Fourteenth  Regiment  Con- 
necticut Volunteers.  He  was  just  then  coming  to  be  21  years  old,  and  before  he 
left  the  State,  was  made  a  Freemason  in  the  lodge  at  New  Britain;  went  to  war  with 
the  Fourteenth  Regiment,  Company  F,  and  was  attached  to  the  Second  Corps, 
Army  of  the  Potomac.  Antietam  was  his  first  real  battle.  At  the  battle  of  Freder- 
icksburg, Va.,  he  was  in  command  of  the  company,  and  was  dangerously  wounded, 
Dec.  13.  1862.  Doctors  said  he  could  not  live  but  five  or  six  hours;  shot  through 
the  stomach.  He  went  home,  got  better,  went  back,  and  was  just  on  time  to  go 
through  the  Chancellorsville  battle,  under  Gen.  Joe  Ho6ker;  then  he  was  soon  ofiF 
for  Gettysburg  campaign,  and  the  battle  of  Gettysburg.  The  boys  did  them- 
selves proud  on  that  field.  They  helped  stop  Pickett's  charge,  and  were  just  at  the 
right  of  the  bloody  angle,  and  captured  six  stands  of  rebel  colors  in  that  charge, 
more  than  any  other  regiment  got  on  that  day.  It  was  the  grandest  day  he  had 
ever  seen  in  his  whole  life.  When  the  fight  was  over  that  night,  it  was  estimated 
that  he  weighed  a  little  over  200  tons.  On  Oct.  14,  1863,  he  was  wounded  again,  at 
the  battle  of  Bristoe  Station;  then  after  that,  had  a  beautiful  typhoid  fever  that 
mustered  him  out  of  the  service,  and  he  has  never  seen  a  well  day  since;  went 
home  to  Springfield,  Mass.,  and  worked  for  Mr.  E.  Bigelow  again  about  six 
months,  then  engaged  with  Geo.  Dwight,  Jr.,  &  Co.,  in  steam  and  hydraulic  en- 
gineering business,  and  the  manufacture  of  steam  pumps.  They  soon  sent  him  to 
Boston,  Mass.,  to  open  a  warehouse  there  for  them.  He  stayed  there  about  one  and 
a  half  years,  and  the  company  was  changed  to  the  Norwalk  Iron  Works.  He  then 
left  them,  and  went  to  work  for  Knowles  &  Sibley,  manufacturers  of  the  Knowles 
steam  pumps,  with  his  headquarters  in  New  York,  and  established  a  warehouse  in 
New  York  for  them.  For  nine  or  ten  years,  with  headquarters  in  New  York,  he 
traveled  all  over  the  United  States,  sold  pumping  machinery  for  all  purposes,  and 
established  agencies  all  over  the  country  and  Canada,  and  the  company  finally  be- 
came the  Knowles  Steam  Pump  Works.  After  the  great  Boston  fire  he  came  to 
Boston  to  establish  business  on  a  better  plan  for  the  New  England  and  Canadian 
trade,  and  opened  a  warehouse  in  Boston  for  this  purpose,  and  in  about  six 
years  thereafter  the  Knowles  Steam  Pump  Works  was  sold  to  the  Geo.  F.  Blake 
Manufacturing  Company,  who  now  run  both  concerns  separately.  Since  that 
time  he  has  been  the  general  agent  of  both  concerns  for  the  New  England  States, 
and  sometimes  has  been  called  out  of  the  New  England  States,  and  has  taken 
charge  of  all  water  works  contracts  in  this  territory,  and  the  erection  of  the  pump- 
ing machinery,  and  attended  to  the  selling  department  in  all  of  its  multiform  variety 
for  pumping  air.  gas,  water,  or  any  other  liquids  known,  and  to  be  actuated  by 
steam,  electricity,  belt,  or  geared  power  for  all  purposes,  and  is  still  in  this  same 
concern  and  business  with  headquarters  in  Boston,  Mass.  He  lives  in  Melrose, 
Mass.,  and  belongs  to  the  Wyoming  Lodge,  Waverly  Chapter,  Hugh  de  Payens 
Commandery,  U.  S.  Grant  Post  No.  4  G.  A.  R.,  a  member  of  the  First  Congre- 
gational Church,  and  in  politics  a  black  Republican.     He  has  filled  several  town

He  was  born  in  Manchester  Township  about  the  time  his  parents  came  to  Michi- 
gan. Most  of  his  father's  children  died  in  childhood.  He  inherited  his  father's 
disposition  and  character  to  a  large  degree.  He  was  a  carpenter  by  trade  and

Symond),  b.  Coldwater,  Mich.,  Apr.  4,  1839;  m.  there  May  7,  1863,  Mary  Northan 
Androus,  b.  Ann  Arbor,  Mich.,  Sept.  27,  1842.  He  was  born  in  Coldwater, 
Mich.,  where  he  was  raised  on  a  farm  until  he  was  18  years  old.  At  that  age  he 
went  to  Albion,  Mich.,  to  college  to  finish  his  education,  after  which  he  was  em- 
ployed in  the  Coldwater  postofifice  and  bank  for  several  years,  in  1859-60.  In  1861 
came  the  firing  upon  Fort  Sumter,  the  tocsin  of  a  "wicked  and  gigantic  rebellion." 
The  loyal  young  men  of  Michigan  sprang  to  arms.  Mr.  Fiske  was  among  the  first 
to  join  the  Coldwater  cadets,  a  militia  company  already  organized.  Within  a  few 
hours  after  that  eventful  12th  of  April,  the  cadets  were  drilling  daily  in  the  public 
square,  cheered  and  encouraged  by  the  admiring  eyes  of  hundreds  who  gathered 
around  them.  The  cadets  were  soon  accepted  and  became  Company  C  of  the 
First  Michigan  Infantry.  After  a  short  stop  in  Detroit  they  were  hurried  on  to 
Washington,  which  they  reached  May  16,  where  they  were  welcomed  by  the 
cheers  of  hundreds,  as  they  were  the  first  western  regiment  to  reach  the  capitol. 
They  made  the  first  advance  across  the  Long  Bridge,  driving  in  the  rebel  pickets.

CAPT.   SMITH    WILBUR  FISKE. 


taking  possesion  of  Alexandria  May  24, 
the  ill-fated  Ellsworth  reaching  it  by 
stream  at  about  the  same  hour.  After 
the  shooting  of  Ellsworth,  the  Michigan 
men  helped  the  enraged  zouaves  in 
despoiling  the  Marshall  House,  where 
the  tragic  affair  occurred,  and  Mr.  Fiske 
has  still  in  his  possession  a  piece  of 
gilded  frame  of  a  mirror,  which  he  car- 
ried away  as  a  memento  of  the  afifair. 
July  found  the  Michigan  boys  still  at  the 
front:  and  Mr.  Fiske  writes  to  the  home 
folks  froin  Little  Rocky  Run,  Va.,  under 
date  of  July  20,  "that  they  are  only  six 
miles  from  Manassas  Junction,  within 
two  and  a  half  miles  from  the  enemy's 
strongest  fortification,  that  they  are  ex- 
pecting orders  to  move  at  any  moment, 
and  all  are  in  readiness.  They  would 
probably  go  forward  that  night,  and  the 
supposition  was  that  a  great  battle  would 
soon  take  place."  He  was  right.  They 
did  move  that  night,  and  when  daylight 
came,  it  was  the  morning  of  that  terrible 
Sunday,  July  21,  when  our  newly  united 
troops  fought  the  great  battle  of  Manas- 
sas, or  Bull  Run,  which  ended  in  a  com- 
plete panic  and  rout  of  the  Union  forces 
and  a  retreat  on  Washington.  The 
First  Michigan  was  in  the  thickest 
of  the  fight  and  lost  heavily.  Many  of  the  Coldwater  boys  were  killed  or 
missing.  Clinton  B.  Fisk,  afterward  a  well  known  General,  wrote  from  Wash- 
ington, on  July  23,  of  saved  and  missing,  and  mentioned  Smith  Fiske  as  having 
a  slight  injury  to  one  knee.  Mr.  Fiske  became  First  Lieutenant  in  the  Nineteenth 
Michigan  Infantry  early  in  1862,  but  was  obliged  to  resign  June,  1863,  on  account 
of  severe  illness.  But  two  months  later  we  find  him  recruiting  for  the  Ninth 
Michigan  Cavalry,  which  was  organized  at  Coldwater,  Mich.,  and  he  became  First 
Lieutenant  of  Company  K.  He  left  for  Kentucky  with  his  regiment  May  20, 
having  been  married  to  Miss  Mary  N.  Androus  May  7.  He  left  his  bride  with  the 
promise  that  if  possible  he  would  send  for  her.  They  remained  in  camp  near 
Hickman  Bridge  for  three  weeks,  Mrs.  Fiske  reaching  there  a  few  hours  before 
they  broke  camp.  She  saw  him  again  for  a  few  moments  July  4  at  Stamford. 
Then  the  regiment  disappeared  and  their  friends  knew  nothing  of  their  where- 
abouts for  nearly  three  weeks,  except  that  they  were  in  chase  of  General  Morgan 
and  his  southern  guerrillas,  who  were  carrying  terror  into  the  homes  of  Kentucky, 
Indiana  and  Ohio.  Mrs.  Fiske  not  being  able  to  hear  from  her  husband,  finally 
went  on  to  Cincinnati,  hoping  that  there  she  might  gain  news  of  his  whereabouts. 
All  was  confusion,  marshal  law  having  been  proclaimed,  and  many  troops  massed 
around  the  city.  On  July  24  the  Ninth  Regiment  cavalry  reached  Covington  and 
camped  in  pleasant  quarters,  and  on  that  same  Friday  afternoon  Mrs.  Fiske  found 
a  boarding  place  within  a  short  walk  of  camp,  and  they  hoped  now  to  be  together 
for  a  few  days  at  least.  At  4  a.  m.,  July*  25.  the  regiment  again  departed. 
Lieutenant  Fiske  being  in  command  of  Company  K,  supposing  they  were  going 
out  on  picket  duty  around  Cincinnati.  And  that  was  the  last  Mrs.  Fiske  knew  of 
their  movements,  until  Sunday  at  8  p.  m.  she  received  the  following  telegram 
from  Surgeon  Nash  at  Salineville,  O.:  "Lieutenant  Smith  Fiske  is  dangerously 
wounded.  Come  at  once."  Taking  a  train  at  Cincinnati  that  same  evening  at 
10  Mrs.  Fiske  reached  her  husband's  side  on  Monday  at  6  p.  m..  But  to  go  back 
to  the  reeiment:  When  they  left  camp  Saturday  morning  they  were  hurried  into 
box  cars  and  taken  as  rapidly  as  possible  to  northeast  Ohio  to  cut  ofif  Morgan's 
retreat.  Morgan,  being  tracked,  was  soon  overtaken,  when  skirmishing  com- 
menced and  continued  until  dark,  with  some  loss  in  wounded,  driving  the  enemy 
during  the  entire  night.     On  the  morning  of  the  26th.  Morgan  being  flanked  and 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  603 


hard  pressed,  was  forced  into  an  engagement,  which  resulted,  after  a  severe  fight 
of  an  hour  and  a  half,  in  the  complete  rout  of  his  forces,  with  a  loss  of  23 
killed,  44  wounded  and  305  prisoners,  while  the  detachment  of  the 
Ninth  lost  in  wounded  Lieutenant  Fiske  and  7  men.  The  pursuit  was  con- 
tinued, Morgan  flying  in  confusion,  until,  meeting  with  the  forces  under  General 
Shackelford  a  few  hours  later,  he  surrendered.  Lieutenant  Fiske  was  shot  in  the 
breast  about  8  a.  m.,  the  bullet  going  through  the  body,  stopping  just  below  the 
skin,  where  it  was  cut  out.  It  missed  his  heart  by  half  an  inch,  passing  through 
the  lower  part  of  the  lung.  He  was  soon  carried  to  a  neighboring  farm  house,  and 
the  wound  dressed  by  the  Surgeon,  he  being  the  only  officer  injured  in  the 
skirmish.  Surgeon  Nash  met  Mrs.  Fiske  Monday  evening  at  the  station  and 
took  her  out  to  Mr.  Sharp's  farm.  As  they  reached  the  locality  of  the  fight  it 
seemed  like  a  gala  day,  as  hundreds  had  come  from  near  and  far  to  see  what  was 
to  be  seen.  As  one  of  them  said,  he  never  had  a  chance  to  see  a  wounded  man 
before — and  he  an  officer.  There  were  at  least  two  or  three  hundred  men,  women 
and  children  crowded  around  the  house,  pressing  into  doors  and  windows.  It 
was  a  terribly  hot  July  day.  The  Lieutenant  was  lying  in  the  wing  of  a  log 
house,  the  room  and  yard  full.  The  bed  itself  was  surrounded  by  a  number  of 
young  girls  busy  fanning  and  waiting  upon  him,  while  he  was  gasping  for  want  of 
air.  Six  long  weeks  they  remained  in  that  log  house.  The  hot,  dusty  August  days 
were  very  trying,  with  no  blinds  or  shades  to  the  widows,  and  the  walls  and  bed- 
stead filled  with  bed  bugs.  It  was  not  until  six  weeks  that  Lieutenant  Fiske  began 
to  improve,  in  spite  of  the  doctors,  who  insisted  that  he  would  not  live,  and  the 
middle  of  September  found  him  strong  enough  to  be  put  on  a  bed  and  carried. to 
the  town,  four  miles  away,  where  he  was  gladly  welcomed  to  the  best  house  in  the 
village,  the  home  of  Mr.  Nickerson.  They  gave  up  the  parlor  for  their  use,  and 
showered  upon  them  kindnesses  of  all  kinds.  Mrs.  Fiske  says  she  will  never  for- 
get how  good  that  first  supper  tasted,  the  first  good  meal  she  had  had  in  many 
weeks.  When  Mr.  Fiske  was  able  to  talk  he  had  many  visitors  from  the  sur- 
rounding farms,  all  anxious  to  see  and  hear  him  tell  of  his  experiences.  He 
vividly  remembers  one  man  who  spent  an  hour  or  two  in  telling  him  how  he 
appreciated  his  bravery,  and  finally,  on  his  leaving,  presenting  him  with  a  silver 
half  dollar  as  a  token  of  his  regard.  Bread  and  cake  were  brought  from  twenty 
and  thirty  miles,  and  at  one  time  Mrs.  Fiske  said  she  had  the  bureau  drawer  full 
of  such  tokens.  The  days  passed  swiftly,  and  late  in  September  they  were  able 
to  reach  Cleveland  and  take  the  boat  for  Detroit,  from  whence  by  rail  to 
Coldwater,  which  they  reached  early  in  October.  In  November,  1863,  on  ac- 
count of  disability  he  resigned,  and  was  then  appointed  postmaster  in  Coldwater, 
Mich.,  which  he  held  until  the  Democratic  administration  took  charge,  after 
which  he  was  a  merchant  in  the  boot  and  shoe  business  until  1877  at  Coldwater, 
Mich.,  when  he  sold  out  and  afterward  went  into  the  wholesale  boot  and  shoe 
business  at  Sherman,  Tex.,  remaining  there  two  years,  selling  out  in  1879.  In  1880 
he  moved  to  Minneapolis,  Minn.,  with  his  family,  where  he  connected  himself 
with  the  W.  S.  Nott  Company,  wholesale  rubber  boot,  shoe,  belting  and  cloth- 
ing business,  remaining  up  to  the  present  time;  res.  Minneapolis,  Minn.

Mass.  Amos  Kidder  Fiske  was  born  in 
Whitefield,  N.  H.,  May  12,  1842.  His 
early  years  were  spent  partly  on  a  rough 
farm  in  Whitefield  and  partly  in  the  fac- 
tory village  of  Peterboro,  N.  H.,  in  pov- 
erty and  hard  work.  At  the  age  of  16 
he  found  himself  without  parents  or 
guardian  and  without  a  dollar,  but  with 
much  ambition  and  little  education.  He 
worked  in  a  cotton  mill  in  Peterboro  in 
order  to  earn  money  to  go  to  school, 
and  in  the  spring  of  i860  went  to  Apple- 
ton  Academy,  New  Ipswich,  N.  H.  By 
dint  of  hard  work  and  study,  and  ex- 
treme energy,  earning  most  of  his  ex- 
penses, was  prepared  for  college  in  two 
years;  entered  Harvard  in  1862,  borrow- 
mg  ^50  to  go  to  Cambridge,  and  get  a 
foothold:  got  through  with  help  of 
scholarships  and  other  aids  with  a  little 
borrowing,  and  was  graduated  in  1866 
summa  cum  laude,  being  also  class  poet 
of  the  year.  In  the  autumn  of  1866  came 
to  New  York,  with  borrowed  money 
and  letters  of  introduction,  including 
one  from  George  Ticknor  to  George 
Ticknor  Curtis.  Spent  first  year  mostly 
in  private  tutoring  and  got  even  with 
the  world;  then  entered  law  ofiice  of 
Sargent  T.  Fay,  with  which  Mr.  Curtis 
was  connected  as  counsel;  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  a  year,  in  the  meantime  and 
for  a  year  afterward  assisting  Mr.  Curtis  in  the  preparation  of  his  life  of  Daniel 
Webster;  did  all  the  collecting,  sifting  and  arranging  of  material,  and  preparing  it 
to  the  hand  of  the  author,  etc.;  also  became  contributor  the  same  year  (1867)  to  the 
Annual  Cyclopaedia,  and  kept  it  up  for  fifteen  years  or  so.  In  1869  abandoned 
law  for  journalism  and  entered  the  office  of  the  New  York  Times  in  September, 
during  brief  reign  of  John  Bigelow,  after  the  death  of  Raymond.  He  was  married, 
Oct.  27,  1870,  to  Caroline  Child,  of  Cambridge,  Mass.,  youngest  sister  of  Prof. 
Francis  J.  Child.  At  the  beginning  of  1872  he  went  to  the  Evening  Mail  as  associ- 
ate editor,  under  the  late  J.  W.  Bundy,  and  in  the  spring  of  1874  to  Boston,  as  lead- 
ing editorial  writer  on  the  Daily  Globe.  In  1878  he  returned  to  New  York  and 
joined  the  stafT  of  the  Times,  where  he  has  been  ever  since,  writing  editorials.  He 
has  contributed  occasionally  to  Harper's  Weekly,  and  had  two  or  three  articles  in 
the  Forum,  one  on  the  "Remedies  of  Municipal  Misgovernment."  He  has  also 
written  two  books,  "Midnight  Talks  at  the  Club"  (Fords,  Howard  &  Hulbert, 
1890),  and  "Beyond  the  Bourne"  (same  publishers,  1891).  His  children  were  edu- 
cated in  private  schools  in  New  York  City  until  1888,  when  his  son,  Philip  Sidney, 
b.  Sept.  7,  1872,  was  ready  for  college.  The  family  then  went  to  Cambridge  to 
live.  The  girls  entered  "Cambridge  school,"  a  private  institution  in  charge  of 
Arthur  Gilmer,  and  devoted  to  preparing  students  for  the  "Harvard  Annex,"  now 
RadclifTfe  College.  His  son's  health  broke  down  in  the  fall  of  1891,  and  he  took 
him  on  a  three  months'  trip  to  the  south,  Cuba,  Mexico,  and  the  Pacific  coast,  after 
which  he  served  an  apprenticeship  in  journalism,  as  a  reporter  in  the  Times  office 
until  the  summer  of  1893,  when  he  returned  to  college,  and  completed  his  course 
in  June,  1894.  For  the  year  past  has  been  working  on  newspapers  in  Boston,  but 
is  not  definitely  settled.  His  daughter,  Annette,  born  Oct.  13,  1873,  entered  the

William  Oscar  Fiske  was  son  of  William  Fiske.  The  brick  house  in  which  he  was 
born  was  built  by  his  father  and  is  still  standing  at  the  corner  of  Andover  and 
Fayette  Streets.  He  was  educated  in  the  Lowell  schools  and  at  the  Merrimack 
Normal  Institute  at  Reeds  Ferry,  N.  H.  His  first  business  experience  was  with 
the  produce  firm  of  A.  L.  Waite  &  Co.,  of  which  he  became  a  member.  Subse- 
quently he  engaged  in  similar  business  in  Boston,  and  it  was  in  this  pursuit  that  the 
Civil  War  found  him  in  1861.  He  entered  the  service  as  First  Lieutenant  on  the 
i6th  of  April  of  that  year,  on  the  staff  of  Gen.  B.  F.  Butler,  and  served  during  the 
three  months'  campaign  in  the  vicinity  of  Fortress  Monroe,  and  took  part  in  the 
engagements  at  Big  Bethel  and  Hatteras  Inlet.  The  unfortunate  dififerences  be- 
tween Governor  Andrew  and  General  Butler  during  the  war  will  be  well  remem- 
bered by  all  who  were  not  in  their  infancy  in  those  days.  The  Governor  refused 
to  recognize  General  Butler's  appointments  and  consequently  the  commission  of 
First  Lieutenant  of  a  company,  which  the  deceased  was  then  given  by  General 
Butler  was  not  recognized  by  the  State;  and  in  the  official  report  of  the  affair  at 
Hatteras  Inlet,  where  Captain  Fiske  swam  ashore  from  the  vessel  to  carry  a 
despatch  from  General  Butler  to  the  commander  of  the  land  forces,  he  is  mentioned 
with  approbation  as  "Mr.  Fiske  of  Massachusetts."  A  contemporary  edition  of 
Harper's  Weekly  contained  an  account,  with  illustration,  of  this  exploit,  and  the 
young  hero  was  thenceforth  famous.  The  papers  of  that  time  mention  him  as  the 
most  distinguished  of  the  Massachusetts  men,  save  Gen.  Butler.  Returning  to 
Massachusetts  with  General  Butler,  he  was  appointed  Assistant  Quartermaster- 
General,  for  the  department  of  New  England,  with  headquarters  at  Camp  Chase 
(fair  grounds,  Lowell).  While  at  home  he  was  presented  with  a  regulation  sword, 
belt  and  saddle  by  his  grateful  fellow-citizens.  Here  he  remained  till  the  command 
was  ordered  south  to  the  Department  of  the  Gulf.  At  Ship  Island  he  was  trans- 
ferred to  the  command  of  Gen.  George  F.  Shepley,  as  Commissary  of  Subsistence 
with  the  rank  of  Captain,  which  was  his  first  recognized  commission,  after  having 
served  nine  months  without  pay.  In  this  capacity  he  acted  a  portion  of  the  time 
while  General  Shepley  was  Military  Governor  of  Louisiana.  During  his  official 
career  he  was  under  a  West  Point  officer,  who  was  noted  rather  for  querulousness 
than  ability,  and  Captain  Fiske,  with  other  officers  of  the  department,  was  subject 
to  an  investigation,  which,  in  his  case,  resulted  in  bringing  him  very  high  com- 
mendation instead  of  censure.  When  General  Butler  received  authority  to  recrui*t 
and  raise  troops  in  Louisiana,  Captain  Fiske  was  assigned  to  the  United  States 
barracks,  in  New  Orleans,  as  Quartermaster  and  Commissary  for  that  post,  which 
was  the  recruiting  station  of  the  department.  He  was  subsequently  commissioned 
as  Major  of  the  First  Louisiana  Regiment,  which  was  the  first  Union  white  regi- 
ment raised  in  any  of  the  Confederate  States.  The  regiment  took  an  active  part 
in  most  of  the  engagements  in  that  department.  Donaldsonville,  Irish  Bend,  Port 
Hudson,  Cox's  Plantation,  Mansura,  Francesville,  and  the  battlefields  of  the  Red 
River  campaign— all  were  crimsoned  with  their  blood.  He  was  wounded  in  the 
leg  while  engaged  in  forcing  a  landing  in  the  engagement  at  Irish  Bend,  Grand 
Lake,  near  Bayou  Teche,  during  the  first  advance  on  Port  Hudson  under  General 
Banks.  Agatnst  the  advice  of  the  surgeon  he  left  the  hospital  and  went  on  to  the 
field.  Almost  the  first  thing  that  met  his  eye  was  the  dead  body  of  Colonel  Hol- 
comb,  of  Connecticut,  his  own  commanding  officer,  who  had  been  killed  while 
leading  his  troops  in  the  brave  and  famous  attempt  that  was  made  to  storm  the 
enemy's  works  that  day.  Colonel  Fiske's  brother,  Maj.  E.  A.  Fiske,  of  Lawrence, 
took  part  in  same  engagement.  After  this  (June  15,  1863)  the  Lowell  boy  was 
commissioned  Colonel,  and  during  the  Red  River  campaign,  he  commanded  the 
Second  Brigade,  Nineteenth  Army  Corps,  a  part  of  the  time.  An  act  of  special 
importance  and  bravery  was  his  recapture  of  guns  from  Gen.  Dick  Taylor.  Dur- 
ing his  long  service  he  was  absent  from  duty  but  thirty  days.  March  13,  1865,  he 
was  breveted  Brigadier-General  of  volunteers  for  gallant  and  meritorious  conduct. 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  607 


In  all  these  years  of  military  service  his  bearing  was  such  as  to  command  the  love 
of  his  soldiers  and  respect  of  all  officers.  When  he  returned  to  New  Orleans  on 
business  after  the  close  of  the  war  he  was  tendered  a  banquet  at  the  St.  Charles 
Hotel,  with  every  mark  of  respect  due  to  a  distinguished  person.  When  he  was 
mustered  out  he  returned  to  Lowell  and  as  soon  as  the  congratulations  of  his 
rejoicing  friends  would  allow  him.  he  engaged  in  business,  his  first  venture  being 
the  southern  lumber  business,  in  which  the  late  Josiah  B.  Fielding  was  his  part- 
ner. The  firm  name  was  "Fielding  &  Fiske."  This,  however,  was  short-lived, 
for  in  June,  1871,  Mr.  Fielding  having  died,  the  old  firm  of  J.  B.  Fielding  &  Co. 
was  succeeded  by  the  present  well-known  house  of  Fiske  &  Spalding.  General 
Fiske  was  a  very  public-spirited  man,  though  the  only  civil  office  he  ever  held  was 
that  of  Councilman  in  1869  and  1870.  His  first  rate  executive  ability  made  him  al- 
ways in  demand  whenever  any  charitable  or  social  enterprise  or  public  demonstra- 
tion of  any  magnitude  was  proposed.  Besides  being  a  member  of  Kilwinning 
Lodge,  F.  &  A.  M.,  and  Pilgrim  Commandery,  K.  T.,  and  of  the  Loyal  Legion,  he 
was  one  of  the  charter  members  of  B.  F.  Butler  Post,  No.  42,  G.  A.  R.,  and  was 
commander  of  the  post.  In  1870  he  was  junior  vice-commander  of  the  department 
of  Massachusetts,  G.  A.  R.  He  was  appointed  Assistant  Quartermaster-General 
on  the  staff  of  Governor  Talbot  in  1879,  and  aide-de-camp  to  Governor  Long  in 
1880,  each  time  with  the  rank  of  Colonel.  In  society  he  was  a  favorite,  where  his 
modesty,  urbanity,  good  fellowship  and  probity  were  appreciated.  Even  the  above 
meager  account  of  his  military  exploits  proves  that  his  was  not  an  ordinary  career. 
He  was  born  a  soldier,  and  gave  ample  evidence  of  all  those  qualities  which  go  to 
make  up  a  successful  commander.  He  won  every  title  that  was  bestowed  upon  him, 
and  that  of  Brigadier-General  is  no  meaningless  compliment.  Those  who  were  in 
the  war  will  remember  with  what  frequency  his  name  appeared  in  print  in  those 
days.  In  his  private  life  he  was  upright  and  honorable,  and  in  business  he  has  been 
blessed  with  the  same  success  which  characterized  his  operations  upon  the  field  of 
battle.     He  d.  Feb.  2,  1886:  res.  Lowell,  Mass.

Crosby  Dana,  b.  Jan.  11,  1855.  Major  Fiske  was  born  in  Lowell  and  there  spent 
his  early  days.  He  was  the  son  of  William  Fiske,  of  that  city,  and  a  brother  of 
Gen.  W.  O.  Fiske.  When  the  Civil  War  broke  out  deceased  was  23  years  old,  and 
was  exploring  timber  lands  in  Canada,  one  hundred  miles  north  of  Montreal. 
Hearing  that  his  country's  flag  had  been  assailed  by  traitor's  hands,  he  set  out  at 
once  for  home  and  arriving  in  Lowell  at  noon  time  of  a  September  day,  1861,  he 
made  his  way  at  once  to  the  recruiting  office.  Here  he  was  rejected,  as  he  was  be- 
low the  required  height.  That  night  he  sought  out  a  shoemaker  and  ordered  two 
thicknesses  of  leather  to  be  placed  on  his  shoes.  Returning  next  day  to  the  recruit- 
ing office,  he  was  again  rejected,  but  seemed  so  anxious  to  go  to  the  front  that  after 
a  while  he  was  passed  and  sent  to  Camp  Chase  with  the  nucleus  of  a  regiment. 
Company  B,  to  which  Private  Fiske  was  attached,  had  been  recruited  by  Captain 
Blanchard.  On  Sept.  5,  1861,  the  company  was  mustered  in.  Deceased  was  elected 
Second  Lieutenant  Nov.  27,  1861,  and  advanced  to  First  Lieutenant  Aug.  21,  1862. 
The  company  was  made  a  part  of  the  Thirtieth  Massachusetts  Regiment  and  was 
dispatched  with  that  regiment  for  service  on  the  Gulf.  On  Oct.  21,  1862,  Lieutenant 
Fiske  was  promoted  to  Captain  and  with  his  company  engaged  in  service  at  New 
Orleans,  and  subsequently  was  ordered  up  the  river  to  Baton  Rouge.  During  the 
siege  of  Vicksburg  his  regiment  did  duty  on  the  river.  The  rebel  gunboat  Arkan- 
sas was  near  by  and  doing  a  great  deal  of  damage.  Two  Union  gunboats  were 
ordered  in  pursuit  and  Captain  Fiske  had  charge  of  one,  A  conflict  resulted  and 
raged  for  six_  hours.  During  that  time  the  Captain,  pistol  in  hand,  stood  by  the 
pilot  house,  directing  the  movement  of  the  gunboat.  Men  were  falling  on  all  sides, 
but  he  bravely  held  his  position  until  the  battle  closed.  Later  his  regiment  was 
ordered  up  the  Red  River  to  join  Gen.  Banks'  expedition.  He  was  placed  in 
charge  of  the  commissary  department  but  as  he  was  anxious  to  get  to  the  front 
he  was  placed  on  General  Berge's  staff.  During  the  campaign  two  horses  were  shot 


eo8  FISKE  GENEALOGY. 


from  beneath  him.  On  the  last  occasion  his  horse  fell  upon  his  sword  and  pinned 
down,  he  was  compelled  to  cut  his  straps  and  flee  for  his  life.  Being  sent  to  Wash- 
ington on  business,  he  was  granted  a  furlough  home  and  was  presented  by  friends 
with  two  beautiful  swords.  Returning  to  his  regiment  he  took  an  active  partin 
the  closing  engagements  of  the  war,  and  on  Feb.  17,  1865,  was  breveted  Major 
for  gallant  services  on  the  field.  His  term  of  services  lasted  four  years  and  four 
months.  At  the  close  of  the  war  the  Major  leased  a  plantation  in  South  Carolina, 
investing  several  thousand  dollars.  Sectional  hatred  was  rampant  in  that  locality, 
and  before  the  first  crop  was  harvested  he  sought  more  peaceful  quarters  in  the 
north,  being  threatened  with  death  if  he  persisted  in  remaining.  He  left  for  Penn- 
sylvania and  in  1868  came  to  Lawrence,  where  he  engaged  in  the  business,  which  he 
conducted  in  person  until  disease,  which  has  now  caused  his  death,  fastened  upon 
him  two  years  before.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Loyal  Legion  of  Massachusetts,  of 
Bethany  Commandery  Knights  Templar,  and  Tuscan  Lodge  of  Masons.  He  was 
commander  of  Needham  Post,  Grand  Army,  in  1870,  and  was  instrumental,  more 
than  any  other  man,  in  raising  funds  for  and  erecting  the  beautiful  soldiers'  monu- 
ment on  the  common.  No  braver  soldier,  more  discreet  and  capable  oiificer  went 
from  Massachusetts  into  the  service  of  the  country;  no  truer  comrade  of  the  Grand 
Army,  with  deeper,  more  constant  devotion  to  the  interests  of  all  who  had  defended 
the  flag,  ever  lived  in  that  city;  no  more  generous  hearted,  open  handed,  public 
spirited  citizen,  has  blessed  any  community;  a  more  unselfish,  steadfast,  self-sacri- 
ficing friend,  has  not  been  born  or  lived  in  this  generation  than  Major  Edward  A.

holds  an  almost  pre-eminent  position  among  those  who  are  advancing  the  in- 
terests of  education.  In  the  two  years  following  his  graduation  from  the  Wes- 
leyan  University,  Mr.  Fisk  taught  in  Connecticut,  after  which  he  became  New 
England  agent  of  the  publishing  firm  of  Ginn  &  Co.,  a  position  in  which  he 
gained  an  enviable  reputation  for  conscientious  work.  The  Fisk  Teachers' 
Agency  was  established  in  Boston,  in  1885,  and  subsequently  offices  were  located 
in  New  York,  Chicago,  Washington,  Los  Angeles,  Minneapolis,  and  Toronto. 
Through  his  capacity  as  president  of  this  organization,  Mr.  Fisk  has  become 
well  known  as  an  educator  and  has  visited  every  large  city  in  the  United  States 
and  Canada,  and  many  important  cities  in  Europe.  Mr.  Fisk  also  holds  a  very 
prominent  place  as  a  promoter  of  public  welfare  in  almost  all  of  its  departments. 
He  is  president  of  the  Boston  Missionary  and  Church  Extension  Society,  and 
also  of  the  Boston  Methodist  Social  Union.  He  is  vice-president  of  the  Evan-

M.  Perry,  b.  May  17,  1836,  dau.  of  Abel 

H.       Dea.    Geo.    Batchelder    Fiske,    the 

third     son     of    Timothy    and     Lucretia 

Batchelder,  born  in  Holliston,  Mass.  His 

early  life  was  spent  on  the  farm,  with  the 

usual  benefits  of  the  public  schools,  and 

by   his  personal   efforts   was  enabled  to 

pursue  a  higher  education  at  Mt.  Hollis 

Seminary,  thus  fitting  himself  for  active 

mercantile  life,  which  he  commenced  at 

the  age  of  18,   with  good  success.       In 

1856  he  married  Ada  M.   Perry,   a  suc- 
cessful teacher  in  the  public  schools,  and 

had  two  sons  and  two   daughters.     Mr. 

Fiske   pursued   the    study   of   engraving 

and   printing   of  bank   notes,   and   being 

skilled   in   the   art,   he   was   engaged   in 

teaching  and  instructing  the  bankers  and 

business  men  of  the  cities  and  towns  of 

New    England    in    the    art    of    detecting 

counterfeit    and    altered    bank    notes    at 

sight.      Mr.    Fiske   has   been   a   member 

of  the  Congregational  Church  for  many 

years,    and  served   on   all   of  its   official 

boards  with  satisfaction  and  esteem.     In 

politics    Mr.    Fiske    has    always    been    a 

Republican,     and    deeply     interested    in 

good   government   in   all   things.     Early 

in    life    was    a    strong    advocate    of    the 

largest  liberty   of  speech  and  action    to 

promote  the  best  results.  A  strong  friend 

and  admirer  of  Abraham  Lincoln  for  President;  he  was  appointed  as  postmaster, 
and  served  two  terms,  and  was  elected  by  the  town  as  treasurer  and  collector,  serv- 
ing seven  years,  with  a  grand  record.  As  his  town  recognized  good  abilities,  they 
elected  him  as  town  clerk,  and  he  served  them  as  such  for  fifteen  years,  many 
times  receiving  a  unanimous  vote.  Mr.  Fiske  was  elected  a  Representative  from 
this  district  to  the  general  court,  1880,  redeeming  the  district  from  his  political 
opponents,  and  was  re-elected  the  next  year  by  an  increased  majority,  when  he 
served  both  years  as  clerk  of  important  committees,  also  using  his  knowledge  of 
the  business  of  insurance  (which  he  had  acquired  from  many  years  of  actual 
practice)  in  improving  the  insurance  laws  of  the  State  and  enacting  and  establish- 
ing a  long  needed  uniform  policy  of  insurance  for  all  companies  doing  business 
in  this  State.  Mr.  Fiske  has  been  a  member  of  the  school  board  for  many  years, 
and  served  as  clerk.  Also  a  member  of  the  Holliston,  Medway  and  Millis  School 
Union  for  the  employment  and  supervision  of  it;  superintendent  of  the  schools  in 
said  towns,  he  having  been  one  of  the  promoters  of  this  excellent  plan  of  pro- 
viding a  better  system  of  graded  schools  for  the  small  towns.  During  the  spare 
hours  of  Mr.  Fiske's  busy  life  he  introduced  the  business  of  knitting  by  machinery 
in  a  small  way,  which  grew  to  large  proportions,  employing  at  times  sixty  hands 
in  manufacturing  seamless  hosiery  (the  first  in  this  State),  knitted  goods,  and  a 
specialty  of  infants'  underwear,  all  of  which  found  ready  and  profitable  sales. 
Holliston  being  an  enterprising  and  progressive  town,  concluded  to  advocate  and 
encourage  the  building  of  an  electric  railway  to  its  larger  neighbors,  and  thus 
called  a  town  meeting  and  elected  a  committee  to  proceed  for  the  best  interests 
of  the  town,  and  Mr.  Fiske  was  chosen  on  the  committee  and  elected  as  its  clerk, 
on  whom  fell  the  responsible  duties  of  formulating  a  contract  for  the  town,  also 
supervising  the  survey  and  location  of  the  railway  tracks,  locating  and  building  car 
houses,  and  whatever  was  of  interest  to  his  town.  Mr.  Fiske  Iseing  of  a  genial 
social  bearing,  a  promoter  of  the  good  and  true,  assisted  in  encouraging  the  in- 
stitution of  Mt.  Hollis  Masonic  Lodge,  and  in  1865  was  the  first  regularly  raised 
Mason  in  that  lodge,  and  also  proceeded  until  he  became  a  Sir  Knight  in  the  Mil- 
ford  Commandery,  of  Massachusetts.  Mr.  Fiske  is  a  member  of  the  Holliston 
Lodge  of  the  Knights  of  Honor,  and  a  firm  believer  in  great  good  that  has  been

of  its  members.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Fiske  being  firm  believers  in  a  higher  education 
for  those  who  deserve  it,  that  the  better  the  education  the  better  citizen,  that  the 
educated  man  or  woman  can  obtain  a  higher  position  in  society  and  a  more  lucra- 
tive situation  in  the  business  world,  and  acting  on  that  line,  have  educated  their

mond), b.  Mar.  4,  1831,  Hinsdale,  N.  H.;  m.  June  7,  1853.  Maria  E.  Ripley, 
b.  Sept.  6, 1835,  at  Winchester,  N.  H.,  The  president  and  superintendent  of  the  Wason 
Manufacturing  Company,  George  C.  Fisk,  exemplifies  in  his  career  the  possibilities 
of  every  young  man  who  sets  out  early  in  life  to  accomplish  whatever  he  under- 
takes and  to  pursue  that  which  has  in  it  something  worth  striving  for.  Mr.  Fisk 
was  born  in  Hinsdale.  N.  H.,  and  he  began  work  in  a  country  store  at  Hinsdale, 
kept  by  E.  W.  Hunt  and  by  Amidon  &  Holland.  But  selling  dry  goods  and 
drawing  molasses  did  not  suit  his  taste  as  well  as  working  in  a  shop,  so  he  con- 
cluded to  try  his  fortune  elsewhere.  At  20  years  of  age,  in  1851,  he  left  Hinsdale 
for  Springfield,  carrying  with  him  $15  as  his  total  cash  capital  with  which  to 
bufYet  what  might  prove  to  be  "the  shafts  of  outrageous  fortune."  Not  meeting 
with  just  what  he  first  desired  to  engage  in,  he  entered  here  a  dry  goods  store,  but 
left  that,  and  tried  for  a  time  work  in  a  grocery  store.  That  did  not  promise  to  be 
any  more  congenial  than  what  he  had  experienced  at  Hinsdale,  and  not  many 
months  afterward  he  went  west.  At  Cleveland.  O.,  he  stopped  to  renew  the 
acquaintance  of  a  friend.  He  had  some  rather  indefinite  promises  as  to  \york.  but 
as  it  was  not  forthcoming  he  turned  book  agent,  and  commenced  selling  Mrs. 
Stowe's  "Uncle  Tom's  Cabin."  That  venture  flourished  until  a  crabbed  old  fellow 
threatened  to  kick  him  out  of  his  house  if  he  ever  caught  him  selling  any  more

GEORGE  C.  FISK. 


books  to  his  family,  and  that  suggested  to  him  the  propriety  of  still  going  farther 
west.  He  went  to  Beloit,  Wis.,  and  looked  about  the  town;  but  the  slipshod  way 
of  conducting  business,  then  characteristic 
of  all  new  towns  in  the  west,  turned  his 
thoughts  backward  to  New  England.  He 
found  that  to  succeed  in  the  west  capital 
was  just  as  necessary  as  in  the  east,  and 
the  next  thing  he  did  was  to  return  to 
Springfield.  Eleazer  Ripley  was  about  to 
begin  the  manufacture  of  locomotives, 
and  he  wanted  a  bookkeeper.  While  the 
machinery  was  being  put  in  he  went  home 
to  Hinsdale  to  make  a  desk.  Two  weeks 
later  Mr.  Ripley  sent  for  him  to  return. 
Mr.  Wason  was  about  to  go  west  on  a 
business  trip,  and  he  wanted  Mr.  Fisk  to 
act  temporarily  as  bookkeeper  for  him  in 
his  absence.  Mr.  Ripley  consented,  and 
what  was  intended  only  as  a  temporary 
engagement  resulted  in  permanent  em- 
ployment. It  may  be  interesting  to  know 
that  he  commenced  with  Mr.  Wason  on  a 
salary  of  $i  a  day.  From  his  first  em- 
ployment he  rose  to  paymaster  as  well  as 
bookkeeper,  and  in  1854  to  a  partnership 
interest.  When  the  company  was  incor- 
porated, he  was  made  treasurer,  and  later 
still  vice-president,  and  president  and  gen- 
eral manager  on  the  death  of  Mr.  Wason, 
which  positions  he  continues  to  hold.    Few 

men  have  shown  such  tireless  energy  in  the  pursuit  of  business,  from  the  early  be- 
ginning of  the  company  up  to  its  complete  triumph,  and  have  seen  so  much  coming 
back  in  return.  Through  summer  and  winter  for  many  years  Mr.  Fisk 
was  the  first  man  at  the  shop,  fully  knowing  that  the  eye  of  the  master  inspired 
close  attention  to  the  work  in  hand.  If  there  was  a  contract  to  be  had,  he  was 
off  for  it,  and  back  again  as  quickly  as  possible,  to  see  that  the  work  was  speedily 
finished.  Wherever  he  went  he  carried  a  tabulated  form  of  cost  of  work  with  him, 
and  if  any  one  wanted  an  estimate  in  the  middle  of  the  night,  he  could  give  it  to 
him  at  once.  It  was  this  promptness,  and  giving  each  what  he  agreed  to  give  in 
the  way  of  finished  work,  that  brought  him  many  thousands  of  dollars  when  some 
other  concerns  were  running  short  time.  After  the  shops  were  located  at  Bright- 
wood — a  name  given  to  the  locality  in  honor  of  Dr.  Holland's  "Brightwood," 
which  is  perched  upon  the  eminence  to  the  east  of  it — Mr.  Fisk  bought  "Bright- 
wood"  itself  of  Dr.  Holland,  who  had  gone  to  New  York  to  edit  Scribner's 
Monthly,  now  the  Century — a  home  that  the  genial  doctor  left  with  many  regrets, 
and  which  Mr.  Fisk  succeeded  to  with  as  lively  feelings  of  personal  satisfaction. 
It  was  near  his  work,  and  it  has  a  charming  outlook  among  the  trees — conspicu- 
ous, and  often  noticed  by  travelers  up  and  down  the  Connecticut  valley — in  its 
bright  and  tasteful  colors,  harmonizing  so  completely  with  the  deep  green  of  sur- 
rounding foliage  of  summer  months.  To  give  a  summary  in  chronological  order 
of  Mr.  Fisk's  connection  and  promotion  with  the  Wason  Company  it  would  read: 
Entered  the  office  of  T.  W.  Wason,  Sept.  8,  1852,  at  $1  a  day;  admitted  to  the  firm, 
Dec,  1854;  elected  treasurer,  Jan.  17,  1862:  elected  vice-president,  Apr.  14,  i86g; 
elected  president,  Feb.  6,  1871.  Mr.  Fisk  has  been  a  hard  worker  in  every  sense, 
but  of  late  years  he  has  found  more  time  for  recreation,  though  always  keeping  a 
close  watch  on  his  large  and  increasing  business.  He  has  given  some  attention  to 
the  rearing  of  Holstein  stock,  and  is  interested  in  other  kinds  of  manufacturing, 
holding  an  interest  in  the  Fisk  Soap  Works,  the  Springfield  Power  Company,  and 
is  the  owner  of  a  mill  for  the  manufacture  of  paper  at  Hinsdale.  Some  years  since 
he  conceived  the  plan  of  building  a  place  for  entertainment  in  Brightwood,  and 
Fisk's  Casino  is  the  result.  It  was  dedicated  in  1885,  an  1  has  si'-ice  furnished  a  place  for 
amateur  theatricals,  conducted  entirely  by  home  talent.  It  was  built  entirely  by 
Mr.  Fisk,  and  it  is,  indeed,  a  charming  place,  and  which  is  highly  appreciated.     The

Brightwood  Dramatic  Club  has  often  given  representations  worthy  those  older  in 
experience,  and  added  much  to  the  rational  enjoyment  of  the  neighborhood.  The 
Casino  stands  at  the  corner  of  Main  street  and  Wason  avenue,  and  is  sixty-six 
by  thirty-seven  feet.  The  interior  is  finished  in  hard  wood  and  pleasingly  orna- 
mented by  tasteful  decorations;  res.   Springfield,   Mass.

15.  1839;  rn-  Aug.  27,  1862,  Emeline  G.  Adams,  b.  May  10,  1842.  He  was  born  in 
Hinsdale,  N.  H.,  and  while  a  small  boy  -ssisted  his  father  in  the  manufacture 
of  soaps.  Later  he  clerked  in  a  country  store  in  his  native  town.  He 
remained  there  four  years,  and  went  to  Northampton  and  kept  books  for 
Thayer  &  Sargent.  While  in  Northampton  he  was  taken  sick  and  obliged 
to  go  home  and  remain  about  a  year.  In  the  meantime  his  eldest  brother, 
George  C.  Fisk,  now  president  of  the  Wason  Manufacturing  Company,  had 
come  to  Springfield  and  was  a  member  of  the  car  manufacturing  firm  of 
Thomas  W.  Wason  &  Co.,  and  as  soon  as  Noyes  W.  was  able  he  came  to 
Springfield  and  entered  the  office  of  Wason  &  Co.  as  bookkeeper.  After  a 
year  or  so  his  place  there  was  taken  by  Henry  S.  Hyde,  now  treasurer  of  the 
Wason  Manufacturing  Company,  and  he  became  bookkeeper  for  E.  B.  Haskell 
&  Sons,  grocers,  and  remained  with  them  until  he  enlisted,  in  1862,  in  Company  A, 
of  the  Forty-sixth  regiment.  When  he  had  served  out  the  term  as  a  private,  he 
returned  to  Springfield  and  started  for  himself  in  the  grocery  and  provision 
business.  In  1867  he  sold  out  and  went  into  the  manufacture  of  lamp  black  on 
the  corner  of  Chestnut  and  Ringgold  streets.  He  had  hardly  got  well  started 
in  his  new  venture,  when  he  woke  up  one  morning  in  Feb.,  1868,  to  find  that  all 
his  buildings,  except  one  had  been  burned  and  he  then  sold  out  what  remained 
of  his  business,  and  May  15,  1868,  went  into  the  soap  business.  This  was  started  in 
Hinsdale,  in  1857,  by  Mr.  Fisk's  father  and  brother.  In  1861,  the  senior  Mr. 
Fisk  died  and  William  Smith  bought  his  interest  in  the  business.  The  removal 
of  the  business  was  then  determined  upon,  and  in  the  spring  of  1861,  the  business 
was  established.  A  year  or  two  after  the  removal  Mr.  Smith  died.  The  principal 
markets  for  the  Fisk  Manufacturing  Company's  goods  are  in  New  England,  New 
York,  New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania  and  Ohio,  and  steady  and  gratifying  growth  of 
the  business  is  the  best  possible  evidence  of  the  estimation  in  which  the  company's 
goods  are  held.  Mr.  Fisk  was  for  seven  years  a  member  of  the  common  council 
and  has  for  eleven  years  been  a  member  of  the  water  commissioners  and  the  only 
man  connected  with  the  water  department  who  has  no  salary.  He  is  a  director 
in  the  Chicopee  National  Bank,  the  Springfield  Woodworking  Company,  the 
Hampden  Paint  Works,  and  the  Masonic  Mutual  Insurance  Company,  and  is  a 
trustee  of  the  School  for  Christian  Workers,  the  Winthrop  Club,  and  Springfield 
Commandery  of  Knights  Templar.  These  positions  of  public  and  financial  trust 
show  the  estimation  in  which  Mr.  Fisk  is  held  by  the  general  and  business  com- 
munity. Mr.  and  Mrs.  Fisk  are  members  of  Memorial  Church,  but  since  their 
removal  to  Ward  Five  have  attended  the  First  Church,  where  they  are  valued 
workers;   res.   Springfield,    Mass.

iam, Symond),  b.  EUisburgh,  N.  Y.,  Nov.  11,  1831;  m.  July  14,  1880,  Jennie  McGraw, 
d.  Sept.  30,  1881,  s.  p.  When  very  young  he  disclosed  an  uncommon  aptitude  for 
the_  acquisition  of  languages,  and  a  precocious  interest  in  both  literature  and 
politics.  He  pursued  his  school  education  at  Cazenovia  Seminary  and  at  Ham- 
ilton College,  but  left  that  institution  in  his  sophomore  year  to  go  abroad  and 
study  the  Scandinavian  languages.  At  Copenhagen  he  enjoyed  the  friendship  of 
Prof.  Rafu,  the  distinguished  Danish  archaeologist.  With  little  aid  except  some 
occasional  correspondence  with  the  New  York  Tribune,  he  sustained  himself 
during  1849-52,  passing  two  years  in  the  University  of  Upsala,  giving  lessons  in 
English  and  lecturing  on  American  literature,  and  speaking  Swedish  so  well  that 
he  commonly  passed  with  the  students  for  a  Swede.  In  1852  he  returned  to  New 
York  and  took  a  place  in  the  Astor  Library,  where  he  remained  as  assistant 
until  1859,  still  pursuing  his  studies  in  languages,  and  in  making  a  collection  of 
Icelandic  books,  which  soon  became  the  most  considerable  in  this  country.  So 
enthusiastically  had  he  directed  his  attention  to  that  enlightened  island  that  it 
was  said  that  few  natives  were  more  familiar  with  its  geography,  history,  politics, 
and  literature  than  he.  In  1859-60  he  was  general  secretary  of  the  American 
Geographical  Society.  In  1861-2  he  was  again  abroad,  and  attached  to  the  Ameri- 
can legation  at  Vienna,  under  Minister  John  Lothrop  Motlev.  Returning,  he  was 
editor  of  the  Daily  Journal,  of  Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  in  1864-6,  and  through  1867  had 
charge  of  the  Hartford  (Conn.)  Courant,  from  which  he  was  called  in  1868,  after 
another  extensive  tour  abroad,  which  embraced  Egypt  and  Palestine,  to  the  pro- 
fessorship of  the  north  European  languages,  and  the  place  of  chief  librarian,  at 
Cornell  University.  In  his  unremitting  labors  for  years  in  the  classroom,  as  libra- 
nan  and  as  director  of  the  university  press,  no  inconsiderable  degree  of  the  success 
of  the  institution  is  due.  During  this  time  he  took  a  deep  interest  in  the  reform 
of  the  civil  service,  and  was  a  most  influential  writer  and  lecturer  in  its  behalf.  In 
1879  he  was  again  abroad  for  five  months,  and  visited  Iceland.  He  had  been  a  prin- 
cipal promoter  in  this  country  of  the  contribution  of  a  library  on  the  celebration  of 
the  national  millennium,  and  upon  his  arrival  he  was  the  guest  of  the  nation  and 
accorded  honors  seldom,  if  ever,  given  before  by  one  nation  to  a  private  citizen 
of  another.  His  health  failing  from  his  severe  application  to  college  duties,  he 
went  abroad  again  in  1880.     In  that  year,  in  Berlin,  he  married  Miss  Jennie  Mc-

Graw,  of  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  who  died  in  Sept.,  1881.  In  1881  he  resigned  his  offices 
at  Cornell  and  took  up  his  permanent  residence  in  Florence,  Italy.  Although  his 
chief  work  had  been  that  of  a  scholar  and  bibliopole,  he  has  been  a  voluminous 
contributor  to  various  Swedish,  Icelandic  and  German  journals,  and  to  the 
American  press.  He  was  one  of  the  famous  chess  tournament  of  1857,  and  in 
conjunction  with  Paul  Morphy,  edited  the  "American  Chess  Monthly"  in  1857-60, 
and  compiled  the  "Book  of  the  American  Chess  Congress"  (New  York,  1859). 
He  has  edited  various  university  publications,  such  as  the  "Ten-Year  Book  of 
Cornell,"  the  "Register,"  etc.,  and  many  bibliographical  publications,  such  as 
the  "University  Library  Bulletin,"  the  "Bibliographia  Psiupsilonica,"  etc.  He 
was  one  of  the  chief  promoters  of  the  chapter-house  system  in  the  Greek  letters 
societies.  He  is  now  engaged  in  completing  his  two  private  book  collections, 
one  relating  to  Petrarch,  the  other  to  Icelandic  history  and  literature — the  most 
considerable  collections  in  existence  relating  to  those  subjects — and  is  printing 
privately  a  series  of  "Bibliographical  Notices"  illustrating  his  collections.  Prof. 
Fiske  has  received  the  degree  of  A.  M.  from  Hamilton  and  that  of  Ph.  D.  from 
Cornell;  res.  San  Domenico,  Villa  Lawdcr,  Florence,  Italy.

b.  Framingham,  Mass.,  Sept.  28,  1838:  m.  at  West  Dedham,  C^ct.  22,  1861,  Carrie 
E.  Morgan,  b.  Aug.  25,  1837.  John  M.  Fisk  was  born  in  Framingham,  and  was 
the  son  of  Moses  M.  and  Harriet  H.  Fisk  of  that  town.  He  was  one  of  a 
family  of  eight  children.  But  two  of  these  survive  him — Mrs.  Horatio  Gard- 
ner, of  East  Holliston,  and  Mrs.  Willard  Howe,  of  South  Framingham.  As  a 
boy  Capt.  Fisk  was  a  hard  worker.  He  graduated  from  the  Framingham  high 
school,  and  in  i860  went  to  work  for  William  H.  Brackett,  at  Newton,  Mass., 
in  the  provision  business.  Soon  after  he  was  elected  constable  of  the  town.  He 
was  the  only  policeman  in  Newton  at  that  time,  and  was  the  first  man  to  hold

CAPT.  JOHN  MURRAY  FISK 


such  a  position  there.  He  Uved  in  New- 
ton twenty-four  years.  In  1872  he  was 
appointed  deputy  sheriff,  which  position 
he  held  for  twelve  years.  In  May,  1884 
he  was  appointed  special  sheriff  for 
High  Sheriff  Gushing,  and  placed  in 
charge  of  the  Middlesex  .county  house 
of  correction,  East  Cambridge,  which  po- 
sition he  held  until  his  death.  Capt. 
Fisk  married  Caroline  E.  Morgan, 
daughter  of  John  Morgan,  of  West  Ded- 
ham.  She  survives  him.  One  child  was 
born  to  them.  She  is  Mrs.  George  D. 
Ford,  wife  of  Capt.  Fisk's  able  assistant. 
Capt.  Fisk  was  a  thirty-second  degree 
Mason,  and  a  member  of  many  secret 
societies,  among  them  Newton  Blue 
Lodge,  Royal  Arch,  Cambridge  Gom- 
mandery,  Royal  Arcanum,  Ancient  and 
Honorable  Artillery  and  Mystic  Shrine. 
He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Colonial 
Club.  By  his  death  Middlesex  county 
loses  one  of  the  most  efificient  ofificers  it 
has  ever  had  and  the  prisoners  who  have 
come  under  his  charge  will  miss  a  good 
friend.  The  sentiment  of  the  whole 
community  is  expressed  in  the  tribute 
paid  Capt.  Fisk  recently  by  Representa- 
tive John  H.  Ponce,  who  said  to  a  Globe 
reporter:  "As  a  deputy  sheriff  Capt. 
Fisk  was  a  universal  favorite  with  the 
lawyers  of  Middlesex  county.  He  was  prompt  and  reliable  in  the  service  of  the 
processes  of  the  courts,  and  was  looked  upon  as  authority  on  many  mooted  ques- 
tions. He  was  especially  kind  and  helpful  to  young  attorneys.  Since  he  has  been 
master  of  the  house  of  correction  there  has  been  no  word  of  complaint  as  to  the 
management  of  the  institution  or  the  treatment  of  prisoners.  While  keeping  them 
in  the  closest  custody,  he  has  been  most  humane  in  his  treatment  of  them.  He  was 
highly  respected  by  the  judges  of  the  county.  His  acts  of  private  charity  among 
the  poor  in  East  Cambridge  were  numerous,  and  his  death  is  spoken  of  with 
great  sorrow  by  the  people  in  his  district."  He  d.  May  3,  1896;  res.  East  Gam-

14,  1850.  Edwin  B.  Fiske,  the  eldest  of  three  children  born  to  Oliver  J.  Fiske  and 
Maria  L.  (Brown)  Fiske.  The  subject  of  our  sketch  was  born  in  Rutherford 
County  and  in  the  State  of  Tennessee.  At  the  age  of  14  his  parents  removed  to 
Bloomington,  111.  He  worked  on  his  father's  farm  during  the  summer  and  in  the 
winter  went  to  school.  When  the  State  Normal  University  was  located  at  Bloom- 
ington he  was  one  of  the  first  to  enroll  his  name  as  a  student  in  that  institution. 
Before  graduating  he  made  up  his  mind  that  he  would  obtain  a  collegiate  education 
and  went  to  Providence,  R.  I.,  and  entered  the  high  school  in  that  city,  from  which 


FISKE  GENEALOGY.  621 


he  graduated.  He  then  entered  Brown  University;  while  there  the  War  of  the 
Rebellion  broke  out  and  he  enlisted  in  Company  B,  Tenth  Regiment  Rhode  Island 
Volunteers.  His  health  broke  down  and  he  was  honorably  discharged  and  entered 
college  again,  but  owing  to  ill  health  contracted  while  in  the  army  he  was  not  able 
to  continue  his  studies  and  went  to  Chicago,  where  he  found  a  position  in  the 
employ  of  William  B.  Keen  &  Co.,  as  a  commercial  traveler.  On  the  restoration  of 
his  health  he  entered  the  Law  School  at  Albany,  N'.  Y.,  and  graduated  from  that 
school  in  May,  1865.  He  then  commenced  the  practice  of  law  in  the  city  of  Syra- 
cuse, N.  Y.,  in  partnership  with  Irving  G.  Vann,  who  is  now  a  Judge  of  the  Court 
of  Appeals  in  that  State.  While  in  that  city  he  married  Frances  J.  Price,  of  Avon, 
N.  Y.  His  practice  in  the  law  was  quite  lucrative,  but  owing  to  close  application 
to  business  his  health  became  once  more  impaired  and  he  removed  to  Perry,  N.  Y. 
His  practice  here  was  not  so  lucrative  as  it  was  in  the  city,  but  it  was  far  more 
beneficial  to  his  health.  While  in  Perry  his  wife  died  (Mar.  19,  1873).  In  the  fol- 
lowing fall  he  removed  to  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  where  he  now  resides.  In  1875  he 
married  Priscilla  M.  Westlake,  of  Perry,  N.  Y.  He  has  one  son  by  his  second  wife. 
Edwin  Westlake  Fiske,  born  on  the  19th  day  of  Dec,  1876,  and  who  is  now  attend- 
ing Rochester  University.  Mr.  Fiske  has  always  taken  quite  an  interest  in  politics, 
though  not  a  politician  in  the  strict  sense  of  the  word.  An  ardent  Republican  and 
in  every  presidential  campaign  takes  the  stump  for  the  nominees  of  that  party.  He 
is  a  member  of  the  Baptist  Church  and  held  quite  a  number  of  offices  in  that  church 
Superintendent  of  the  Sunday  school;  deacon  and  trustee — the  last  two  he  now 
holds  in  the  Lyell  Avenue  Baptist  Church  at  Rochester.  He  is  interested  in  quite

Ella  O.  Hersey,  b.  Jan.  19,  1848.  He  was  born  at  East  Boston.  When  quite  young 
his  parents  moved  to  Readfield,  Me.,  and  afterward  to  North  Whitefield,  Me.  His 
life  up  to  the  age  of  13  was  as  usual  to  boys  brought  up  in  the  country.  When  13 
years  of  age  he  went  to  work  for  a  hardware  firm  in  Gardiner,  Me.,  and  remained 
with  them  several  years.  At  the  age  of  17  he  went  to  California,  crossing  the 
Isthmus,  twenty-six  days  en  route;  remained  four  years  and  six  months  in  Califor- 
nia; returned  to  his  mother's  home  in  Searsmont,  Me.,  in  1871.  During  the  year  he 
went  into  the  wholesale  hay  business  at  Gardiner,  Me.,  remaining  until  1872,  when 
he  went  to  Lewiston,  Me.,  and  bought  a  drug  store;  continued  the  business  until 
1875,  when  the  fever  for  traveling  (and  seeing  new  lands)  got  possession  of  him. 
He  sold  his  drug  business  and  started  for  the  west  in  1876,  landing  in  Minneapolis, 
Minn.,  in  midsummer;  followed  various  vocations  for  a  year  or  mv^*^,  when  he 
finally  took  up  his  present  specialty,  the  treatment  of  rectal  diseases,  in  1877.  He 
remained  there  one  year,  under  instructions  of  one  Dr.  Steele,  one  of  Minneapolis' 
best  physicians.  He  practiced  for  a  while  in  Kalamazoo,  Mich.;  finally  returned  to 
Maine  in  1878;  located  in  Auburn  and  remained  in  practice  there  until  1889,  when  he 
finally  moved  to  his  present  location,  Lewiston,  Me.  He  has  visited  the  city  of 
Portland  regularly  every  Saturday  for  the  past  twelve  years;  has  had  a  lucrative 
practice  there  during  that  time,  and  has  built  up  a  practice  throughout  the  entire 
state  that  is  very  gratifying  to  him;  res.  332  Main  St.,  Lewiston,  Me.

been  in  the  summer  hotel  business  for  twenty  years,  and  has  been  eminently  suc- 
cessful in  that  line  of  work.  Hotel  Fiske  at  Old  Orchard  is  noted  far  and  wide  for 
its  excellent  accommodations  and  has  an  immense  patronage.  Mr.  Fiske  has 
added  to  his  house  the  present  year.  It  is  three  stories  high.  He  never  has  been 
able  to  accommodate  all  those  who  have  applied  for  rooms  and  the  addition  will 
be  well  received  by  the  general  public.  Mr.  Fiske  cannot  be  supassed  in  the

William,  Nathan,  Nathan,  Nathaniel,  William,  Robert,  Simon,  Simon,  William,  Sy- 
mond), b.  Manchester,  Mich.,  June  19,  1858;  m.  at  Clinton,  Oct.  3,  1882,  Ida  J. 
Dorr,  b.  Nov.  20,  1858.  His  mother  was  a  daughter  of  Job  Graves,  a  native  of 
Deerfield,  Franklin  County,  Mass.,  and  a  descendant  of  the  early  settlers  in  the 
colonies.  Therefore  his  ancestors  were  strictly  of  New  England  descent  and  of  the 
oldest  families  of  New  England,  and  his  grandfathers  both  partook  of  the  charac- 
teristics of  the  New  England  people.  He  has  often  made  the  statement  that  of  all 
the  men  he  has  ever  known,  he  has  not  known  of  better  men  than  his  grandfathers. 
After  his  father  was  killed  in  the  army,  with  his  mother  and  younger  brother  he 
removed  to  Franklin  I'ownship,  Lenawee  County,  Mich.,  where  he  attended  coun- 
try schools.  These,  supplemented  by  two  years  in  the  village  schools  at  Clinton, 
in  the  same  county,  and  one  year  at  Adrian  College,  in  the  same  county,  completed 
his  preparatory  education.  He  taught  country  schools  for  three  years,  and  after- 
ward, at  the  age  of  20,  entered  the  law  office  of  Alfred  Russell,  of  Detroit,  Mich. 
After  eighteen  months'  study  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar  and  practiced  common 
law  for  five  years,  after  which  he  took  up  the  study  and  later  the  practice  of  patent 
law,  of  which  he  now  makes  a  specialty.  In  the  fall  of  1894  he  was  nominated  by 
the  Republican  party  in  Detroit  as  one  of  ten  Representatives  from  the  city  at  large 
in  the  State  Legislature;  he  was  recognized  as  one  of  the  leaders  of  the  House,  and 
his  services  to  his  constituents  is  indicated  in  the  newspaper  notices  of  the  day.  He 
is  about  five  feet  ten  inches  in  height,  and  weighs  about  250  pounds.  He  has  al- 
ways been  a  Republican  in  politics,  as  were  his  father  and  grandfather  before  him. 
His  grandfather  had  liberal  ideas  in  religious  matters.  His  father  was  a  member  of 
the  Congregational  Church,  but  he  has  never  affiliated  with  any  church,  and  has 
been  considered  liberal  in  his  views.  One  of  the  Detroit  papers  in  referring  to 
the  Representatives  in  the  Legislature  said  of  Hon.  Chas.  H.  Fisk:  "Fisk  bore 
himself  all  through  as  the  opponent  of  such  methods  as  those  which  led  to  the 
eternal  disgrace  of  that  body,  and  he. took  the  side  of  the  people  as  against  that 
of  the  corporations.  In  all  things  he  acted  well,  but  he  was  only  a  drop  in  an 
ocean  most  of  the  time.  A  really  strong  man,  an  honest  man,  a  man  of  good  infor- 
mation and  some  undoubted  ambition  to  occupy  higher  political  station,  he  was  the 
one  member  of  the  delegation  from  Detroit  who  can  be  said  to  have  made  the  most 
favorable  impression  at  the  capital."     Res.  Detroit,  Mich.;  add.  42  Hodges  Block,
